I would get a a 3-4 pyrethrin booms and use them at 4 day intervals DR. DOOM 16oz SPIDER MITE KNOCKOUT [704415] - $13.49 : Indoor Garden, Tacoma, Kent and Edmonds
Doom also has small bombs for small rooms. If you can't get those there is a house bomb just make sure it is all pyrithum nothing else.
Hurry no time to wait.
Oh, you can spray up to a week before harvest. Pyrithum dissapates in aday or so you just want to be sure. It is organic too.
ya last night i just let of a pyrethrum bomb! i have two weeks left of flowering, but these mites made my bud groth/plant stop growing. they are realy fu%king up my plants. its war time:D
After you're done with your grow, bug bomb again and hang one of those HotShot bug strips up for about 10 days.
SPECTRUM 5580 "HOT SHOT" NO PEST STRIP
will these stripes be toxic to my plants?
I wouldnt use those for the plants. I think using chalk or talc would be much more safe and effective. Arnt there all natural organic solutions to this?
use the Hot Shot No-Pest Strips :thumbsup: ... been using them for years
spoken like someone about to lose their entire crop to mites :wtf: ... this is WAR ! :DQuote:

right on! i have some and i am waiting for those mites to come back if they do. then ill but one of the stripes up at night when the vent fan and lights are off, then in the moring ill take it out and put it in a zip lock. 12hrs a night should be good for about a week?
do they smeel bad, i read their oderless but have heard differnt.
plus not a good idea when i have 1-2weeks left untill harvest????
no need to make a major project out of it, just hang it up, in the same room, and remove it, a couple weeks before harvest ... simple ...
good point. so u leave it in the room for the whole grow and take it out a few weeks befor harvest?
Oh ha. I just bought one and hung it next to my ufo light. I dont want to wait for them to come then get rid of them, I never want them to come in the 1st place. Yuck. They are $6 and last for 4 months? Quit being cheap guys. Im cheap but not that cheap! :rastasmoke:Quote:

I have complete confidence in them, and have been using them for many years (beginning, when Shell first made them), but I also don't like unnecessary risks ... :smokin:Quote:

Have 3 kids right now and the pest strips have worked beautifully. Have never used them in flowering yet however, so I'm glad this post is up. $6 is the best investment I've made yet. :D
