spider mite help

so i did the stupid thing. i dried my outdoor plants inside the house near my indoors grow

i found a small patch of leaves and a few buds that had mites. i removed everything i could find. took a good long time going though my plant so i dont think i missed any

i have like 3 weeks max left in my grow before harvest. do you think ill be able to avoid any i may of missed infesting the plant with in that time. i do hope i got them all in time

3 weeks isnt too bad, but i highly doubt you got all of them by hand so just pay attention daily and try to prevent the spread by removing/wiping or using a weak vacuum.

White oil will work as well. Mites don't get immune to being suffocated.

Mites spread fast and are terribly difficult to get rid of once they reach numbers. Become immune to stuff fast to.

it was only a small patch ill bleach everything once i pull just hoping non get to the clones

It is very likely there will still be some mites on your plants. I say this because just handling the plants can knock off some mites and they will crawl back up the plant to feed.

how long will they live for after all plant are removed from the grow room if a good bleaching and clean if any eggs got missed

I would bomb the room while u got it cleaned out no more worries.

Use a soft bristle paint brush to help with the mites on your flowering plant.

For your clones, mix up 2 tsp neem oil, about 900 ml warm water and a good squeeze of dish soap, and spray every 3 days for 9 days. Mites will be gone!!

Captain jacks dead bug brew spinosad. Non toxic and will wipe them out.

I use Mighty Wash.

It took me a long time to beat the mites once I brought them inside.

They hide really well inside of buds.

But then I tried Mighty Wash.

During my last batch, I used mighty wash on my buds too. It sprays almost Ilike a fogger. With the fans blowing, it gets into the nooks and crannies. I rinsed them with plain water afterwards...and repeated every 4th day for 3 times. If you have your buds in the same room as your vegging plants it is all but certain that both are infected.

Even though my vegging plants had no signs of mites, I stripped them of unnessecary leaves and took them outside and held them upside down and sprayed to get under all the leaves....then turned them right side up and sprayed to get the tops, then rinsed with plain water and repeated that every 4th day for 3 times.

I know it sounds scary spraying your buds, but my users noticed no difference with this last batch than my prior batch.

I know its a pain to have to do all that, but you cant f@#/ around with these little critters.

Your ideal environments for growing is theirs too.

ok thanks for the info i will bleach out my flower room and pick up some non toxic spray for my clones

i puled my outdoors like 2 weeks ago so them little shits might be hiding somewhere out of site

They are microscopic... hiding in plain sight.

When you spray your plants, do it under the leaves, the main stem, and the tops of the leaves.
Sprays like Mighty Wash (which is made from Carnation Flowers), kill pretty much on contact.
No matter what you use, I recommend you use a water sprayer and rinse your plants really well afterward.

CAUTION: Do not spray anything on your clones if they are under intense light. It can/will hurt them.

ALSO NOTE: You have to spray them again 4 days later in case any eggs hatched.
