    Spider mites right away on first grow! So bummed....

    Neem oil is the best way to control them, you can find it at Lowes or wal-mart.
    Just follow the direction. I always spray under the leaves and put some at the base of the stalk full strength using a cotton ball. (Full strength only at the bottom of the stalk) Good luck and I hope this helps you with your problem.Be sure to wash your flowers (cold water only) well before you harvest them, and don't worry about washing of the THC glands off washing them wont effect them at all.The spider mites come from the soil that's why I put it on the bottom of the stalk full strength.Good luck, Mehere:thumbsup:

    Thanks for the tips. I didn't know they came from the soil. I've heard that eggs can lie dormant in the soil (and often hatch upon photoperiod change, which is why you may need to add a 2nd no pest strip upon switching to 12/12 for a few days).

    I don't think I'm going to wash my flowers though! I don't plan on spraying ANYTHING on the flowers past week 2-3 of 12/12. Ideally I won't spray anything at all after 12/12 unless I absolutely have to.

    I do like the full-strength neem oil on the base of the stem idea! Going to do that now. Thanks!
