spider mites :(

I have to say something about the Mighty Wash. I used an entire 1 qt. bottle up (as directed) on 3 plants and that shit would knock them done but they always came back. week after week of spray and every week I was killing the bugs, but the eggs seemingly didn't get dead. I switched to neem oil and 2 applications and they were never to be seen again. That shit kills mites, aphids and I'm sure a lot of other bugs. Also worth noting: my plants are outdoor/greenhouse plants. I only used the Neem in veg, btw. I am not so sure I would use the neem in flower. Your shit may taste like onions and garlic, not to mention there may be some hidden health risk smoking it....:/ anyway,

good luck.

IF you hit them with mighty wash they die, no question, even the eggs but you HAVE to hit them.
 
Well I used the habenaro method and it seemed to work really good! I sprayed them down the next night with water and then used the mighty wash the next night. Everything seems to be doing great so far!
 
Mighty wash works great. You need to spray under leaves and top. Give it 3-4 days for eggs to hatch but not lay more. Spray agin. 3-4 days another. You should be free. I spray every 2-4 weeks if I need to or not. I get the 2.5 gallon for $80? Might last a grow. But it's cheep compared to a failed crop

Well I come home to my pride and joy to find webs on them. I freaked out, they spreaded to all 5 of them! Currently trying the habenaro spray method, hopefully it works and I got them in time! Has anyone tried it and have good results??? Here's a pick, 5 weeks in :(

A pot plant is your pride and joy? You need to get out more dude!
 
Turn your fan off and watch temps. Water then take them up to just over 100F for about 2 hours.
 
Liquid lady bug works great,youll find it at a local hydro shop, and im always takin trips everywere n always goin to the city (SF) and my plants are my pride n joy besides friends n fam of course ,that sucks bro try that mighty wash hear good things and liquid lady bug work from my previous grows ,next time use a preventive spray i use neem oil (Einstein oil)and azmax 5 ml each in 1.5 L sprayer and spray every 2 weeks up untill 3rd week of flower,
 
also when u spray plants start at the bottom (base) then work your way up under leaves first then top, if u start anywere else u risk bugs running n hiding in the soil an d just for mean while i would vacum the webs off with a vacum hose attactchment
 
Ya it seems to be working well, haven't seen a mite crawling around yet! And yes, water ...I sprayed them down to get the habenaro spray off before using mighty wash to avoid any unwanted harm by mixing them.
 
Stay on those bastards heavy foliage makes it harder to get everything it's expensive but use generously sometimes I go thru the garden wait Until it starts drying and hit em again in severe cases then every few day's after that stuff works great I swear by it .good idea with the rinse off I used a day after a foliar feeding with magic green once and turned some leaves into crispy critters .
