one month old females/ pink hairs instead of white??????

That is exactly it! The screen should be 1x1 or 2x2 chicken wire. Make a frame and let them grow up into it. You can pinch the side shoots too.. In moderation,maybe a couple of days later.You'll see what I mean,when you start the scrog.

oh so should i just go to the gardening shop and ask for neem oil? and then i just spray it on my plants or on the walls or what?

did any of you guys ever bake your soil in the oven for a bit a few days before using to kill any mites/bacteria/fungus?? my mom does it all the time in the spring , i call her crazy but she claims it works to kill the bugs/mites

i was wondering how is the best way to top the plant, pinch or cut?? and if i pinch do i pinch the top right off????

You did fine with the plant you topped.. Cutting would be the cleanest way...

You mix it with pro-tek just like the label says..... spray the plants,under the leaves and the whole plant... You can even spray the soil... When you go to your garden center tell them your azaleas have spider mites.The less you converse the better you will be! You can get both of these at New England Hydroponics..

so, where i just transplanted today should i wait a few days before i top my plants so they dont get too stressed at once. or suld i go all or nothin and top them today as well, and should i tie them down before i put the screen onto them?

You could top them in another day. Just bend them when you put your screen over them...
