Thanks for your repplies.....I stayed with the predator mites and I'm very happy I did. I simply waited a week too long to reapply, they are around 7ft. now. I'll post pics before harvest. I found out commercial greenhouses have successfully been using them for years......Phytoseiulus Persimilis is the critter I ended up with. Their temp. range is 55 to 105...and humidity 60 to 85%, they do have other species with different temp. and humidity ranges. I can now say I'm 100% organic . They do work, if you follow instructions, I'll NEVER go back to chemicals, sprays, or hand washing again, www.hydro-gardens is where I buy mine. As a matter of fact they work so well I'm considering starting a small in sectary and rearing them myself.......:hippy:

SPIDER MITE PREDATORS About 3 weeks ago I purchased some spider mite preditors...longiepies and californiums, within 3 days the plants came back from the dead and grew like mad....5 days ago I noticed webbing on the leaves and web lines dropping down from the tops, the drop lines seemed to be bigger than I remember. I called the place of purchase and they said not to take off webbing, because I might destroy the existing preditors....So I ordered more, they arrived 3 days ago and were applied immediately.
