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.
Organicide is the brand name, and it's mostly fish oil. It is sold at home depot or the big tomato. Just don't use it right after feeding with a high nitrogen fert. I use it in place of one feeding,(now that I know). The no pest strip is only effective if you can seal it in the room for enough time to kill the pests, since mites don't fly.

I also have a suspicion that the place you got the clones is lying to you. I think they are trying to cover their asses, both in terms of you not being able to kill them and their reason for selling them to you. They hired an entymologist? Yeah, right. If they knew, why the fuck did they sell them to you? I don't buy it. I hate it when somebody fucks you, then lies about it later when caught. Tell us who it was (if you can) so we NEVER buy anything from them. Good luck man.

If you have, let us know when you found them, the extent of the damage, whether you were able to control/eliminate them, if they ruined your crop or affected your harvest, what you used on them, etc... I brought them home on clones on my first grow and I'm interested to see whether or not people have been successful despite spider mites... and how you were able to contain them. I got them and I decided to keep Rating: 5
