Thanks for checking me out... I hope you ordered enough for everybody... Do you have any pics of your setup?
spider mites are arachnids:
Spider Mites
"Spider mites (Family: Tetranychidae) are classed as
a type of arachnid, relatives of insects that also includes spiders, ticks, daddy-longlegs and scorpions. Spider mites are small and often difficult to see with the unaided eye. Their colors range from red and brown to yellow and green, depending on the species of spider mite and seasonal changes in their appearance."
Spider Mites And Their Control, HYG-2012-92
Spider mites are not insects but are more closely related to spiders.
These arachnids have four pairs of legs, no antennae and a single, oval body region. Most spider mites have the ability to produce a fine silk webbing. Spider mites are very tiny, being less than 1/50 inch (0.4mm) long when adults.
Looking really good. Congrats.
I have a couple observations, though:
1) spider mites are not spiders, not arachnids. They are a species of mite, an insect. Sorry to be picky but I'm an amateur entomologist and a bit of a shit.
2) When I first saw the pic of the aerogarden I was going to say that you could easily plumb in a res so you could use that empty net pot for another plant, but it looks like you trained them to cover that area nicely. I was worried about access with my scrog too so I have a small bucket plumbed in just for that purpose.
Good luck with the rest of your grow, I'll be following along.
