Gotta hand it to ya Stinky!

This is what I did about the mites! I added 1 thing that you did'nt mention.I took a sprayer that pumps up and pressurizes.Filled it with plain ole' water first.Then pumped.HeHe! Took my gurls out of the room and gave them a shower with this sprayer.Kinda just knocked off the mites in all stages including the eggs.However! They still existed! But the population was diminised by 1000 fold!I waited until the bath evaporated.Then checked with my magnifiying glass to see how I did.I could count the mites I saw on my fingers.The next day I did it again.There were just a few larger 1's crawling.But just by doing that the growth and flowering have exploded! I sprayed with the neem oil per the instructions.They are doing great and hope to have a harvest that all will be happy with! I even did the ones that were in Veg.I sprayed the soil pots and all! I do however,have 1 question. How often did you do this the neem spray? Like,twice a month,or more often? Ok,that's 2 questions.I'll get some pics posted of the damage and the plants now with the explosive growth! You are THE GURL!

Oh! I still got the pest strips in there to!

Just know it talkes 14 day's to break the cycle of life in spider mites.

Glad you got rid of the little buggers.

I think stinky sprays all her plants with neem once a week. thats what i remember her saying, but i could be wrong.

Stinky is the bomb! Props gal! You're an inspiration as well as a big help! Peace!

[dutch.lover]

Think I should wait another week before doing any more spraying of the neem oil? Skinky!Zandor! It's good to hear from you again! You have done a great deal for me,as well as countless other! I knew it took several days or more to take care of the problem! I had none on any of my past grows! It was a heart-wrenching sight to see the gurls go down hill so fast! Them sum bitches don't mess around!! Ya gotta stay on top of them! I won't have to stay on them anymore! Gonna do the right thing, from here on out to prevent any further infestationsIt's called a Preventive Pest Regimin! I made that up! Still gonna live by it,though! Thank's to all you Spider mite haters! I ain't no hater! But I HATE them!

i think you can spray neem oil as much as you want without hurting your plants. but like zandor said, your pests have a 14 day life cycle, so you want to make sure to spray again in like a week, and then a week after that to make sure you get all the eggs and whatnot. happy killing!

neem oil sounds like something I should keep in my arsenal just in case.. ..

[dutch.lover]

it's a great preventative...i don't think it does too much in the way of actually killing bugs tho. But if you use it, you can have bugs but they won't hurt your plants. The products I use for bugs are all Safer's products: Neem Oil, Insecticidal Soap, and End All- which is more heavy duty.

You can use neem oil every 3 days or so if you have a serious problem. There really is no harm in using neem oil from what I understand. Except that extream continued use of the oil can heavily build up on the leaves. blocking pours under the leaves that take in nutrients and water.

I use neem oil once a week on plant and in soil regardless if I have bugs or not (Except in flowering I only apply to soil). And so Far I have never had a bug infestation.

Also before I use the neem oil that is mixed in my spray bottle. I fill up the sink with Hot water and let the spray bottle sit in the water for a few minutes. This helps heat up the oil a bit and helps it blend with the water better cuz rember water and oil seperate. Just make sure not too cook the mixture with super hot water. Cuz then you will be spraying hot water on yer plants... not good..

A drop of dish soap or an emulsifier like Pro-TeKt 0-0-3.It helps break down the oils as to mix with the water better.It think a warm bottle soak would help as well,so....... Thank's for the tip!
