... eistiens oil and neem have been the best ive used... believe me ive mixed up my own soap solutions..and ive noted ur olive oil technique ...theres tons of spices u can throw in there too..and pyritium foggers like Dr Doom..theres a lot of ways to get it done.. One that should be noted that is extremely effective, especially when cost is a factor , is rubbing alchol..used mixed with water and applyed directlt to undersides of the leaves has been an effective spot killer.. Also i reccommend hanging a hot shot pest strip in the room. and then changing your preventive measures as often as possible , since there so many ways. becasue like a virus they become immune to your treatments the more continually you use 1 thing. also be careful with Dr doom, that shit will make all ur fan leaves die if ur not careful and read directions and follow to the T.

Gonats is supposed to prevent them. and its like tree oils and neem, smells really good.
And to get rid of them... idk... my garden hasnt every gotten mites because its full of predator mites as well as other predators. my indoor has though. really bad. tabbaco didnt really work. burnt the hell out my plants.(too much?) neem(by itself) doesnt work. pyrethium should be used as a very last resort.
Confidor is this stuff to kill mites, never used it.
The Alchohol and hydrogen peroxide really sound good. how strong should the alchohol be?

im running a hot shot pest strip in 2 rooms..havent seen mites since i hung them during the start of a full blown mite infestation a month and a half ago...cost me 12 bucks for 2 strips ..doubt its organic or 'green' . says safe for garages..and human exposure for up to 4 hours per day.. be wise about how u handle such products..but if u want mites to kick loose id recommend it, over any of the heavier shit like avid ...theres so many wayss..

then I'm not putting it anywhere near anything I'm going to smoke. This is one of the reasons I started growing. I want to know exactly what I'm smoking.
If you are looking for something not bad for you, neem oil is the way to go. Neem is used to treat a lot of thing, used to brush teeth, internal medicine, almost anything you can think of. It's very healthy for us. The baking soda, water and a few drops of soap is good too. I think it's 1 tsp of baking soda to 1 liter of water with a few drops of dish detergent. That is okay for us to ingest.

Ya Can I BuZ...not exactly a try state invitation..im from norcal but far far from there...so no..But im just pointing out if i had u poking around my jars that are cured right now..you'd roll a fat joint and be lovin that shit. and Yes there wuz mites i dealt with, although this time i fortunatley won the battle.. I understand not wanting Avid sprayed on ur crop ..but neem, einstiens oil..soap ...ur mixture..safers..dr doom..rubbing alchol..hot shot pest strips... I think Neem oil is right at the top of my list as a preventitive..w/ rubbing alchol as my spot killer if i see them ..Do u buy commercial produce from supermakets in socal like safeway..alberstons..walmart.. u know gotta have ur fruits an veggies right..apples, oranges..grapes and watermellon..im sure that shit is all sprayed with some sort of pesticides...dats why my mom always taught me to wash the fruit..or lettuce in a strainer be4 consuming...idk.. maybe i just laugh at the super 'green' approach ...

Watching your video now. Thanks.
I try to buy everything organic from Whole Foods or Sprouts and I have a decent garden outside that is totally organic. I just do the best I can with keeping it healthy. I mean, we're smoking right? I think it's best to keep the chemicals to a minimum. This is funny. I was posting during my first grow and I had a bug problem. This hippie told me to just ask the bugs to leave. He said it worked. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahaha

im not sure if I had spider mites or not, but I do know there were TINY looking brownish things crawling all over the top of my soil. I did not see them on my plant to much, but I wanted to get rid of them anyways.
I talked to this old hippie lady I work with that has a license plate that says flwrchld lol but anyways she suggested I put a layer of sand on top of the soil which I did with some sterilized sand. I transplanted and never put the sand back and never saw any more bugs again either. THANK GOD because their were thousands of those fuckers.

Pretty sure that wasn't me but I'm an old hippie chick and I put 2 inches of sterilized sand on top of my soil for bug control. The added benefit is the reflection of light off the sand. I'm not sure if it suffocates the roots though so don't take my advice for it. Anyone else do this?
