If you can get your hands on Forbid 4f it is truely the only thing that will actually get RID of them.... All the other BULLSHIT will keep them controllable, but wont rid them... Its VERY Expensive, but VERY strong and WORKS.... I saw it on ebay for like $280 (which is about right) Its professional stuff, However, its poison... You need to wear a mask when applying it. YOu apply it to your whole crop right before the flip from veg to flower.... Hammer the Veg room..... Get a good 2.5 gallon sprayer and go to town..... Then repeat that in week 2-3 of Flower.... Thats it.... Forget about getting RID of the ones you got now, they wont be gone forever... you will only suppress them... If your perpetual (not harvesting all at once) just try not to spray anything that is week 4 or higher, because you will be smoking poison at harvest... Ive used everything, this is the ONLY thing that works.... Fuck Azamax, Mighty Wash, Atomic Bomb, Liquid Ladybug, SNS... etc... Dont waste the $$.... Get Forbid 4f

If in veg you can use avid or floramite. Neither should be used during flowering though. I'm sure someone will disagree but whatever, these products actually work.

didnt see your post until after I made mine. I agree with your method one hundred percent though, solid advice.

use a water/dish soap (50/50 mix) or you can purchanse "NeeM" oil - spray twice a day for two weeks - go with the 50/50 mix, there is a new generation of NeeM oil, if you want the name of it let me know

get some mighty wash, it works on contact, spray every 3 days 3 times. I sprayed and then put a leaf in a baggie and inspected over a week. all bugs and eggs were dead. good stuff.

I spray with a tad of dish soap a tad of azamax and rest worm water.....never use dish soap n water at 50/50 that would be retarded... Then I use no pest strips...which some people say don't work ....but they do....Dr doom spidermite spray works wonders also I just wouldn't use that in bud

neem works . just takes 2 fucking weeks to get rid of them fuckers and they come back. I was looking into bug killer. called ( msds ) on a safety label on a lot of products costing hundreds a gallon. here is the contents. I made home made spray. Active Ingredients-Sesame Seed Oil 7% â" Castor Oil 3%<BR> Inert Ingredients-Fish
Oil 90% also water so Ill use gallon water 2 tsp fish oil . and cut others 1/4 dose I have not did the math to a science . just add them . and I added some liquid dish soap and neem oil. doing It your self could save thousands a year depending on your grow. good luck .

for got to mention called msds safety epa because the companies never place ingredients onto the back they don't want you to know !
Avid and Floramite work well too, but like mentioned above, you cant use it in flower....
Neem? Mighty Wash? Ortho B gone? LMFAO... YOu must not have REAL BAD mites.... Also, these products all work on contact, but NONE will kill eggs... For every mite you have, you have 100's of eggs.... So unless you plan on spraying every day for 2-3 weeks straight, those methods wont work... And to be honest, none of them work well anyway.... Save time and $$ in the end.... Forbid 4f

laugh all you want. it worked, and if it doesn`t kill eggs then why didn`t they come back? i sprayed the plants once a day for 3 days, they were gone after the first spray.

I have used mighty wash and neem with success. All I do now is spray with neem mixed with Dr. Bronners every 3 days until the 3-4th week of flower and I'm good. Followed up with some lady bugs and/or predator mites.
