dropping room temps for mites
Hi all if I can drop my room temps. to around 50f. or less for a short period of time,also using a fogger, neem oil, no pest strips, will this stress my plants or will the mites pack up and leave. I am in 5th. week of flower and do not to ruin my my efforts. I have 6 nl. that are in hydro and full of buds also half of my plants have pink pistols never seen this before, I have allready added more air movement upon stinkys advise and I thought I read somewhere in here about lowering temps. is this only a temporay fix.
Happy Hollidays to All

hang up a No-Pest Strip in your growroom immediately, or, 'bug-bomb' it ... don't waste your time with 'natural' solutions, you don't have the time ... good luck :smokin:

You're too late to use neem oil. The flavor that is so distasteful to pests is also FILTHY to humans, yuck yuck yuck.
Low temps REALLY slow down reproduction but I would not go below 60 night/65 day.
Find a pyrethrin bug bomb that is safe to use up to a couple days before harvest and hit them with that, and then do the no-pest strip thing.
Mites are as you can imagine much easier to deal with before the plants set buds.

Thanks Stinky I never seem to spot the little buggers until I am in flower it looks like the no pest strips kind of have them in check so far. I just recieved my doktor doom fogger and I am going to let it rip, thanks so much here is a couple of pics of what you are helping me with. Thanks Again
