Spider Mites kicking my ass

Chunky Stool said:

So you would just throw away buds with mites?
Nice.
Maybe you should read the labels on the products you recommend.
Maybe you should NOT give advice when you are ignorant on the subject.

Yes. I have standards to live by.

Inform me then, since I'm just so damn ignorant that I don't know how to read a label.

Obviously reading is a burden.

Nobody has suggested companion planting.
e.g. Grow some dill and coriander alongside your plants, they are good for spider mites (as are others).

In other words, you were talking out your ass. All those are meant to be sprayed in veg. Just like I said.

Next time pick someone else to try that shit with. I'm not the one.

Now you are claiming victory?
That's precious.
None of the products you mentioned should be used every other day. You really should read a label once in a while.

You are not using each product each spray.

You take one of the listed pesticides and spray every 2 days. Change pesticide each spray. Therefore there is 10 days between using the same one again.

Make this clear as day since it seems you can't read between the lines.

First spray pyrethrium.
2 days later spray neem oil.
2 days later spray sucrashield.
2 days later spray spinosad.
2 days later spray SNS217.
2 days later spray pyrethrium.
Start cycle over.

Seems like overkill, but whatever works for you man.
If you're in veg and have a sealed room, hot shots would be easier -- and probably more effective since it's impossible to miss a spot with the vapor.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bake some brownies using butter made from weed that you would have thrown away.

This is awesome cannabutter. Ultra strength!

My first comment said to bomb the room. Same as a hotshot.

You shouldn't hotshot in your bedroom, is that where your plants are?
It warns not to stay in the same room as one for more than 4 hours per day. (And that's for reasonably ventilated garages)

Agreed. Hot shot vapor is bad for humans.

In my opinion if you want to buy a product to kill mites the best is Trifecta Crop Control. It can be used in veg or flower and it works very very well. It's really expensive though. Simmering hot peppers and garlic for 10 mins and letting it sit overnight straining and spraying works very well too. I usually only use hot peppers though once I get to flower

I've just overcome a spider mite problem, I think. I haven't seen one in a week or so.
I consistently squished all that I can find with my thumb, as I waited for my companion plants to sprout.
Now I've got a couple of little dill and coriander plants around, and the mites seem to be held at bay, repelled.

A confounding factor though - I've also sprouted out and cloned and vegged up a new strain, which the spider mites haven't touched, regardless of plants touching.
Maybe this new strain they aren't interested in is having the repelling effect too, or maybe it's just this and not the dill and coriander.
But my Fruit Punch seems to be cleared up of spider mites

Hotshot pest strips are a slow release dichlorvos which is not nearly the danger of liquid dichlorvos. They lose a great deal of power after 48 hours. Sleep somewhere else for a few nights.
