I think maybe the spiders in my basement kept eating them before they got very far. I was so proactive once I found them that I don't even know which of the many methods used did the trick or some combo of all of them. No apparent effect on my yield from either mites or control measures, although the Organicide really raised my nitrogen level in conjunction with regular veg feeding (ppm over 2000 in runoff water) and I had to flush them all which sucked. I thought I killed them.
Senor, thanks man. This really makes me feel better. I just found your grow log and I'm in a similar situation where I've put everything I've got right now into this... and can't afford to lose it. I've been vigilant as hell!! I've been just using neem, but I'm about to break out the No Pest Strip. Did you have to add a second one at photoperiod change? I've heard some eggs lie dormant and hatch upon light change.

Also, is Organicide an actual product? I need to get another product since these have supposedly been verified as pyrethrin-resistant. The place where I got the clones had a local entomologist come up and he verified that they were resistant!! I've been looking at Ed Rosenthal's product, forget the name, but it's got cinnamon oil and a bunch of other organic insecticides.
