Hey guy I’ve been dealing with spider mites for a few weeks now. We are in week 2 of flowering. They are such a pain! What is a natural solution I can make to kill them or at least have control over them?
I have an alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and dr bonners mix I’m about to try.
Also stupid question but what should I clean my tents out with?

You need to alternate between two different sprays. Soap water and neem oil. Spray the plant down with soap water, then again in 3 days with neem oil. Repeat one more time. Should take about 10 days if you really want to get them. Sounds like the infestation might be pretty nasty.

Wipe your tent down with bleach water. Consider breaking the tent down after you finish this crop, and let the tent soak in the tub with soap water for a day. Make sure you have a place for it to hang and dry.

Thank you for responding. When I wait to reapply I swear they populate right over again ! Does it hurt to do the spray daily?

My outdoor grow I plant hot peppers around the cannabis plants. This does remove a lot of pests.
I let a few praying mantis loose in the tent, they roasted themselves on the light.

Wish my Button quail could fly, they love bud worms. Found a few while trimming the birds got a snack.
