I have a girl that is starting to show signs of webbing on a few leaves and spidermite damage.. I have cold pressed neem oil, spinosad and azamax on hand.. how should I attack this problem? at what ratios? I'm asking cause I've seen different ratios and also read that supposedly these mites can grow immune to some of these pesticides if sprayed too often?

help yall..
If you are seeing webs the problem is advanced and needs urgent drastic action. I use this(dicofol) and you should get some to, the mites wont get immune to this stuff, it will wipe them out and not harm plants but its up to you to make sure it doesnt happen again. One of the intermediates used in its production is DDT.

Buy some Wipe Out it has helped save my crops. After one application it killed the mites and eggs. It is non systemic too so good for what we grow and smoke.

Any of you ever try killing them with ozone? Only thing that worked for me when I had a bad infestation.

Are you in veg or flower? How far along are you? Indoor/Outdoor? Soil/hydro? We need some basic info to help you better.
I've never had spider mites, but had russets and this is only part of what I used to kill em off and keep em away.
Mix 2 oz. concentrated neem oil to 1 gal warm water **not hot** (helps break down the neem oil to mix in the water) and a few drops of liquid dish detergent(dawn,joy etc). If you are running organics be sure not to use an antibacterial dish detergent. Spray the plant from top to bottom until fully saturated....and I mean like completely soaked on topsides of leaves and bottoms,stems,main stalk-everything. Treat every 7 days or whatever schedule your bottle instructs you to follow.
Heres a couple suggestions to help keep from introducing pests to your grow:
-Dont introduce any plants/clones etc into your grow until they have been "sterilized" with a hearty neem treatment as mentioned above and checked for bugs/mold etc.
-Dont share meters/tools/fertilizers etc with other growers unless you totally sanitize first. Sometimes thats not all they will be sharing with you.
-Keep a clean grow and make sure there are no dead materials laying around, standing water etc.
-Find a good preventative maintenance program for bugs and mold that works for you and follow it religiously.
I sell clones to a couple Co Ops so pest control is paramount. This is pretty much our company policy when it comes to preventing and destroying pests. Great advice!

I had spider mites and this will get rid of them in 2-3 spraying and is non toxic organic. Prevents mold and kills most all pests. Good stuff.
