Treating my plants for mites.

I have a slight problem with mites. It hasn't got to bad yet. I am waiting on Neem Oil to arrive from ordering online. I have some Greenarth Insecticidal soap concentrate. I am thinking of using it till I get the neem oil and can use it. The plants are still vegging, however I run them under 24 hour lights.

Am I going to mess up the plant turning the lights off for 6 hours or so when I spray it?.

Thanks.

No. Losing the light for six hours a day won't be a problem. In the meantime, make sure to have lots of air movement on the plants, and especially down by the soil (if that's your medium), as mites don't appreciate that. Might just get you by until you receive your neem oil (I'm actually waiting on some too... damn Canada, do you know how hard it is to get concentrate neem oil here? Sheesh).

Yea man. It's a pain to get it here. I am hoping it arrives soon. I have dropped the temps in there to try and help as well the fan is near the base.

Put a No Pest Strip in for a week and call it a day. Theyre fine in veg. I just put one in for 3-4days every cpl wks and they kill everything and dont affect the plants. I wear a mask in the room to be safe. Meant for garages etc occupied less than 4hrs per day.
