Spider Mites

[killerweed420]

Just wanted to post that the Hot SHot No-Pest strips work very well for mite control. I had a massive outbreak in my clone room just about overnight. It was caused by the usual mistake of bringing in a couple clones from another source and not dipping them first in a neem oil bath.
24hrs and all I have are a few eggs left. I wouldn't put one in a flowering room unless you have about a month left of flowering. But it works quite well in the veg or clone room.

bullshit.

if you got spider mites, all you can do is race against the clock to save your fan leaves.

You can bathe them in neem oil and use all the strips you want. Once you got them, and they lay eggs, those eggs will hatch and the battle that you cannot win is on.

But then again, some of best herb i ever grew was over run in flower by spider mites. It DOES make the herb stronger.

The Hot Shot takes care of the eggs issue because you leave it in for atleast a month. There's a 3 to 5 day incubatione period for spider mites, so more than a couple weeks and its killed everything.
I don't like using a chemical, but its just for my clone room. So once the plants make it through flower they should be pretty clean.
