Hi. First time in 14 yrs growing I just had mites. Just want to be sure I've done what I needed to before I put plants back in. Here's what I've done. My room is sealed

Once all plants were out i bombed the room. Waited 2 days and bombed it again. Went in after another day and bleached washed the ceiling, walls, floors, fans, mini splits, Co2 lines, dehumidifers. I've done the same to my trim/dry room and work room.

I've bombed my veg room and have been checking daily for any mites. They are clean. I'd like to bomb my veg one more time before moving them to flower. I have a painters suit and booties for my shoes while I'm working in my garden.

I run perpetual so bombing or spraying anything on my plants at 7+ weeks in flower is bad so I'm trying to make sure I'm taking all precautions to try never to see mites again.

Is there any thing I'm missing?

Thank you!!!!

It looks like you got it all covered. keep an eye on your enviorment once you get going again. Personally I'm really anal when it comes to me going in my rooms. I always put on new clothes, wash my hands, i have my own shoes for my room. Be prepared just in case, get some lady bugs prior too to seeds in soil

Sounds like you did the room cleaning perfect ....but what about the little basterds that were on your plants in the first place

You might want to wash again with bleach and some soap in the bucket like a little Dawn.

I wonder if anyone here has ever sprayed the outside perimeter of their house/building with a gallon sprayer and bog spray that will kill mites?

I spray my garden hedges/plants that are near to my garden in advance for my outdoor and I also around the entrance to my indoor there's hedges that I keep bug free and the perimeter I spray to keep ants and spiders at bay .....but my indoor is built on a slab not connected to my house .....I'm all about prevention

I killed every plant in my flower room. My veg I moved the day I saw them in my flower. They have been bombed 2 times but I might not even bring them backin. I just dropped seeds at a diff location. Once they sprout I'll move them to my location. The plants I killed have gone to compost the bamboo steaks have been burned and the pots have been bleached washed along with the drip trays.



Thank you all for the suggestions! I will bomb again today then rebleach. It's been over 2 weeks since a plant has been in my flower room. It will be at least 1-2 more

I just worry since I'm perpetual I can't do weekly sprays just don't know what to do. Any help here?.

I never thought about spraying the entrance to my location. What do you spray? I'm assuming you step on it and track it around which would be good.

My indoor is not not my house like I mentioned above it's on it's built on it's own slab .....so what I do is go around the outside of my building and spray just like you would your house for spiders and ants etc ....then I also alternate between neem and azamax during summer on the plants and hedges near my building .....sounds overkill but I'd rather prevent mites than battle them ...........why can't you apply any sprays on your girls just curious I know you say your perpetual but why does that make a diff

My location is not my house. I'll spray the buildings outside and inside. It's on its own slab too. I'm for overkill. I can't spray or was told never to spray on a plant 7-9 weeks in flower. I put 3 plants in every 2 weeks. The new ones yes I can spray but I worry about the plants later in flower. Or should I even worry?.

Yeah you start getting that late into flower at least IMO I'd be careful what I sprayed my girls with ......azamax is supposedly suppose to be able to be used all the way up to the day of harvest .....I've had to use it pretty damn late before and didn't have an issue .....it's kinda spends but it's good shit IMO goes a long ways .....I suggest you look into that and hit your girls with some prevention when there at the stage you don't mind spraying ......but honestly azamax and neem are my mite arsenal ......and aza is the only thing I've spayed on big flowers before

I have mentioned before SNS 209. It is essentially Rosemary oil. You water the plant 5 times (usually about 2.5 days). The rosemeric acid is in the plants and the mites and aphids starve or leave.

The state of Colorado releases mites along side the roads as a vegetation control in summer.
So I've been told. Making elimination hard.

I caught mites. used azamax to control them.

i would dip any about-to-flower ladies 3-4x@3 day intervals with azamax or monterey fruit and garden spray (spinosad). both are organic. seems like youre on the right track but really impossible to overdue it with these fuckers, what i recommended might save you from dealing with them in flowering (which sux - azamax will wilt all your hairs and you sure as shit dont want to use floramite/forbid/etc in flowering

WATCH THEM CLOSELY in flowering - and pull any affected plants out of there, and spray the rest down with plain water and drop temps as needed

good luck
