Bummer! I have a small plant (approx 12 inches) in a 3 gallon pot that is about 3 weeks into flowering. She has been doing really well and has looked very good with the exception of a few of the lower leaves as is expected.

Today I noticed the white spots associated with spider mites, and sure enough, it looks like I'm in the first stage of infestation. I've spent the last couple of hours scouring the board for remedies and it seems like the "No Pest Strip" method has been adopted by many. Just read where one poster recommends using one of these strips at night for three or four days with a trashcan covering it. I'm seriously considering trying this starting tonight.

Any reason why I should "definitely" not do this; and if "not", any other recent recommendations for treatment at this stage of the grow? Thanks!
