So ive got 9 og girls approx 6ft in a 10x12 area and one greesy spider mite infestation. What I did was spray mitecide twice within a 24 hour period, waited a day and introduced the mites to my 4500 new friends. so far so good, the ladybugs are climbing all over my plants and devowering the little shitmites. I've got a couple questions tho because i've never used ladybugs before...

1) Will the ladybugs eat spider mites already dead from the mitecide?
2) If they do will it make them sick?
3) Dose spraying ladybugs with water keep them alive longer?
4) I'm not gonna have ladybugs hatching out of my finished product am I?
5) How long after the mites are gone will i see an improvement in my girls?​

I doubt ladybugs will eat dead mites. Lady bugs will eat the mites that are alive. I have never really used ladybugs on a scale like that before (only a couple I have found and tossed into the cab). McPurple is a user I know that has frequently used ladybugs in the past. Perhaps hit him up for some answers if nothing else comes through on your thread.
How long into flower are you?
I would suggest trying to spray down your plants with water to remove dead mites (however OG is a PM nightmare so be careful).

Good luck, DST
