Ha Ha Ha !

You are a simple asshole that knows ZERO about growing anything.

Nobody that is not brain dead is reading anything you type, except for some degree of entertainment.

And don't edit and take what I type out of context. I said "If I were you I would shut up, read more, type less."

You decided to edit my statement to say [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]I will shut up, read more, type less. W

You are out of your league here young fellow. I will wipe the floor with your ass if you make me.

lol,,, Im not here to bitch at people, you were the one who said "ill put our differences behind us" wernt you? so why you make fukd up little comments im not sure. Im not going around posting " OH that AIMAIM will fuk up your grow.... better be carfull..." come on dude just grow up, you claim to be elderly so act like it!!! I really dont care who reads what, not a big deal to me, read dont read either way, im here and will probably be around for a bit, so probably would be a good time to forget about me, dont ya say?

But me telling the op to rinse off the capsicum on his leaves to help, how would this derail his grow? really. I see your are an active member, so why not try to help him and give him some ideas to save his plants. I see your little short, smart ass posts all over. why not help others more? the truth is your a bitter old man who grows mini plants and never gets laid. sorry to have changed you post, thought it was funny tho didnt ya? lol

Anybody have luck with pyrethrum bombs on spider mites? I like the stuff but have never used it on mites. My only spider mite experience ended with me abandoning the grow room!

I haven't, but another product I ordered is an Imidacloprid product (Google it before you ask) by Bayer designed for fruits and vegetables. It's a systemic pesticide fed to their roots to kill the little fucks when the actually bite the plants. I grew tired of half fixes and containment. Like I said, taking your grow room back takes A LOT of work.

I did a quick search and found this:
Imidacloprid’s mode of action is similar on target and non-target beneficial insects including honeybees, predatory ground
beetles and parasitoid wasps.10 However, imidacloprid is ineffective against spider mites and nematodes.

touché. I feel the product sold to me was vastly misrepresented. Back to the fucking drawing board.

I guess regular maintenance is the only effective plan, there are no shortcuts. Damn.

Sorry, I would like to find an effective organic product for these little fuckers as well just in case I ever get an outbreak again. Was hoping the addition of pyrethurm chrysanthemums to my greenhouse might act as preventative measure. The only product that truly worked great for me on the mites was a blow torch. Can't say it was very good for the plants!

My condolences op

The only (safe) measure I've found is a vacuum and a whole lot of work... sigh.

as far as organic?? im not sure how much of the active ingredients of the pest strips actually get into the cells and leaf tissue of the plant. If you have a 100% sealed room they work awesome!! Kills every last little fuker!! If you hang them in and around the room they dont have a chance. A partner had mite problems for years, he came to the conclusion that it was his area. He tryed everything on the market, spent like 1500 in a 3 yr period, still had mites. I told him about the hot shot pest strips, 6 buks a piece, he spent like 40 buks, left in his room all summer, not a single mite in over a year!! he still thanks me for telling him that. those little sukers, SUCK!! You could hang them in there when the room was down, like during the summer when your plants are outside. so in the fall when you start back up, its clean, no mites.

and be really careful bringing new plants into your room from an outside source like a buddy or dispensary.

If you haven't started flowering yet then just wait until you see them improve, if they do, wait until they fully recover then 12/12 them ^_^

Cool, I've heard not to use the Hot Shot Pest Strips as preventative measure because of the poison not being good for organics, but I don't understand how much damage they can do. Unclear to me if there is any issue with smoking stuff that has been around them, but that is also a concern I would need to understand better. So I'm not comfortable using them proactively until I understand them better. But the second I get an outbreak, I'll have some on hand and an escalation plan. Fucking war at that point. I'll hit them with every trick I know and then some! I haven't tried the Mighty Wash yet either so I'll probably have that around now too, but need to research it as well for organics.

Where did you read to warm the water then spray bro? They mis informed you tremendously. If you want to go organic I would suggest some pyrethrin.
