How did you guys use the co2, canisters from paintball guns?
I use CO2 from a mixture of yeast and sugar... pretty common, im sure u know what im talkin about. And the continuous steady release of that seems to do well for my plants, But must have a pretty sealed grow room to make that efficient.
I will now take this time to THANK THE LORD, for never having spidermites... Stoney that is a serious bummer man, but im glad u gave them the gas... right on. :thumbsup:
Stay UP :rasta:

Same here Acoustic, I made a 4 gallon mixture. It's not getting it's full use yet with only 3 plants, but soon enough.. oh yes. Soon enough.
It's set up a little differently then this picture.
(I moved 5 gallon bottle so it was working with gravity)
they sell dry ice for 15 cents a pound at Baskin Robbins...
By a shit load of it and make a tent that goes over your plants....
Then put the dry ice in the tent...
Stoney... you are right... It is a BITCH...
VERY well said..
love
Thanks all for your help,
Grim & Acoustic, I will be looking into a co2 deal to help my plants thrive in a bit,but right now im just trying to COMPLETLY eradicate these mites. My lady is only 26 days into flowering and 50% of the hairs on her have turned brown because of them. There is a shit load of white dots ALL over ALL the leaves. Im so sad :(
Knowm, Thanks SO much for the help, i really need it right now. I have a few questions though. I am using LST on my plant so putting a tent over all her strings and twisted shit wouldnt work very well, the room isnt too big though. Would it work if i bought all the dry ice and just put it in a bucket in my flowering room with the exaust fan off? I really need advice quick she is such a beautiful lady, i would hate to see her come to an early death due to some tiny pests.
Also, this is the second grow that has been taken over by mites, does anyone know of a sure way to have my next grow mite free?
Knowm, check her out and tell me what you think i should do...

after you harvest, wash your box down with bleach. that will get rid of any left over eggs
Stoney:
I used the paintball gun canister for a while, but it was such a pain in the ass. I would twist the canister onto the gun until it started leaking and let it leak for 15 seconds, and do that every 2 hours. I found its more trouble than its worth.
Im using the yeast method now. Its alot easier and cheaper.
have you tried No Pest Strips??? put 1 in your room and you will have no more spider mites...
SHe is a monster....
I would definitley try the dry ice.. what do you have to loose...
Each female mite can lay up to 12 eggs per day.. yikes... a mite reaches maturity at 14 days old.. and can start to make more mites.. M ites don't have to fuck to reproduce..... at least that's is what I read..
This critter is scary!!!!!!!

Phytoseiulus persimilis, is a predetor of the mite... you can order some of them.. I hear they work very very well...
