Spider Mite issue Please Help...

Ok i have been in a battle with spider mites indoors since last year when my friend gave me a clone from outdoors. I have used neem oil, azamax, and now a No Pest Strip 2. Seem like they leave for a while cause new growth looks clean and don't have the white spots then about 2weeks later they come again and in heavy waves. When they come back they come with force even new growth has white spots and webs. I took it so far as 2 even cut everything down and start with new clones that looked clean then later find out they had spider mites. I bought new strains but I'm afraid to even start them cause of this issue. I have some moms that are strains thats no longer for sale thats why I can't just scrap everything and start completely over. This just makes me want to give growing up.

Avid will get rid of them. I started with those miticides, they eventually get immuned to it. 2 back to back treatments of Avid and then a weekly maintenence with it till gone. Put petroleum jelly on the top of pots (they get stuck in it). Saturate every part of your grow with the Avid. They sell it on Ebay by the ounce. An oz will give you plenty of treatments

forbid. if you're growing in a room you have to have multiple NPS. make sure the room is cleaned thoroughly. there are many threads about TSSM, prevention and eradication on this site.

I have a 4x4 grow tent. I sealed the tent and cut the exhaust and inside fan off so the air was not moved. Then I just hung the NPS over the ladies. Did this for about a week.

I will research Avid. I will soon reach my breaking point. I hope it works. These things are a nightmare. Never again in my life will I bring a clone in from outside.

You can bring clones in...just saturate them with avid or forbid.

read instructions, much stronger.

No you use very little...like 1/4th tblspoon or even less( I forget) per 5 gallons of water. In your tent size that would last forever. They sell forbid the same way

I have forbid on hand, incase they became immune to the Avid. Either work great, @BarnBuster is the forbid systemic?

there is a life cycle to the TSSM. read up on them.

forbid is a translaminar meaning it penetrates the leaf surface but doesnt move throughout the plant like a systemic.

0.8 - 1.5 ml per gallon
