Have you used this for molds? Curious about the effectiveness? Thanks,

Hey guys I just noticed spider mites have gotten hold of 2 of my plants. It's not too bad yet. On is at week 6-7 and my other is around 4-5 weeks into flower. Is there anything I can put on them this late? Thanks in advance
When the lights are on, spray them outside really good with a hose.

How did this end up for you? I got some predator mites, but i should have applied them all. I thought that I saw them moving around a few days later and was hopeful, but the spider mites are wreaking havoc. Wondering if the predator mites were dead on arrival or if the spider mites were just too settled in. My big blue cheese is ready to be harvested this week, but the jack has another week or so. It is my first grow and I am not losing out on this harvest. Especially when the buds look pretty nice. I've seen a few people say that when they chop and dry the mites migrate up the stem and collect on the end. I hope this works, otherwise I'm smoking some mites. Probably not the first time though. Hope you got rid of them
What type of predator mites did you get? And which company?

Mites don't crawl into the buds so if you do a decent trim on your buds all their webs and poops will be in the trim and your buds will be fine. Make oil from the trim and you can filter out the rest of the bad stuff.

If you usually hang branches to dry when cropping the bugs will climb up so I'd chop the whole plant and hang it so they all end up at the bottom of the upended stem. I just flat out refuse to spray anything on my plants once buds are forming so would rather fight the bugs by hand or with the vacuum to keep the numbers and damage down until I can crop.

I've never used predator mites but it can take a while for them to start making a dent in the bad mite population. They have to breed and hatch more soldiers too so it will take a while before their numbers are high enough to kill off the bad ones.

If you have had mites or other bugs in a grow room and can leave it empty for at least a couple weeks then keep the temps up to 90F any eggs will hatch and the babies will starve to death without plants to feed and breed on. Make sure to keep bags of soil out of your grow space t all times as they are often the source of bugs like fungus gnats, thrips and mites.

Good luck!

so, most of them ended up piling up at the stem and i just vacuumed them off. I should have trimmed the sugar leaves while the plants were still wet though. Lesson learned. I've checked a bud from each plant under a digital microscope and haven't seen a mite yet. I have one outside now that has them. I was hoping that mother nature would handle business for me, but they're still there. Not too worried now that i know they will leave. I just need to keep it alive

An organic option would be to get a gallon of fresh water and put a teaspoon of dish soap. Place into spray bottle and mist under the leaves and everywhere else on the plant, but your going to want to clean up the webs first.
