I was planning on harvesting these 4 this week but not last night so it was definitely a bummer. I have been using the spider mite predators about every 2 weeks. It's the container with the 3 different species, and they were the 500 or 5000 predators containers which were the bigger ones soooo.. I don't know what else to do to kill them so late in flower other than predators and me pulling every leaf with signs of mites. Any tips???
The effectiveness of your predators can be improved or reduced by the environment. It depends on the species you use. Some like warmer temps, higher humidity, stuff like that. Also, some types of predators use soil to lay eggs or pupate into adults and so forth, so if you're doing hydroponics you might be unable to let the predators reproduce.
