Looking real good cruzer101!
Combating mites is no fun, may I suggest using a insecticidal soap one day and plain water the next.
Personally it works rather well for me.
When I apply I do so as quickly as possible. By that I mean I continuously spay, going over each plant one at a time.
I keep a couple of bottles premixed so running out won't slow me down.
I do it in this manner to raise the RH to the highest saturation point I can achieve.
I turn my fans off during application and for a short period afterward.
That way, even mites that were able to evade direct spray will still be caught in the mist!
Coming back the next day with just plain water has seemed to increase my results to near eradicatioin without any harm to my girls.
Good luck and hope I could help!

If you need a link again let me know. Those bombs will get the job done, but if you cant keep the room sealed, I would set off 2 at once, one on each side. Just work fast, you dont want to be breathing that shit in.

Yea the conditions have been ripe for the dam things, Thats changed now.
I am going to get the electric off the ground and start hitting the lower branches with the hose. they will be exposed to predators now with the new roof too.

OK, here we go,

I got 1/2 in PVC and 3/4 in PVC. I used the 1/2" for the frame and the 3/4 in to make clips to hold the plastic sheeting on. I couldnt find 6ml without buying 100 feet so I got 3.2ml plastic sheeting.





I looked online and found some pvc clips made to hold the plastic, I didnt have the time to order some so I made my own. I put the 3/4 PVC in a vice and used a cut off wheel on my grinder.




I cut a channel out of the 3/4 to make clamps. The back three clamps are 45" long so it holds it real tight. The long piece in the front I cut into several small ones. The sides and the front are short ones, like 6" so I could add more if I want to add a screen on the sides.
If you try this use a mask, lots of dust.

So we took off all the roof panels,





I got on the ladder and got a couple shots of the canopy,








Then we removed the front panels and tried to use the bird netting to cover the canopy. I figured I could kinda train them that way. When I got the net over then and pulled it down a bit they looked sick. not the good sick either. No, I think I was a little late with it. So I took it off and lined the front of the greenhouse with it.


I took the fan off and reversed the plate on the back and mounted it again so I could point it up.






To mount it I took some left over metal from the roof, those metal strips, bent it into a J and drilled a couple holes in it. Made eight of them. 4 for the front and 4 for the back. Those mounted to the rafters holds it in place. I got the top edge to fit under the roof cap too.





Im jazzed,
Check out all the room now.



I numbered the roof panels when I took them off so when they go back up it shouldnt be to hard. I dont know, I kinda like the expando look. Total cost of upgrade $36. I can live with that.

Yea we had like 15 to 20 mile winds when we put it up, didnt help things.
I drilled a hole in each bracket I made and put a screw into the pvc elbow/tee to help hold it in place. I could just see it now, I walk out there one day and all thats there are the elbows and tee's

I hope so, I got to thinking about your idea of putting hindges on the top, then the weight and came up with the PVC idea. Thanks man.
