I am going to go ahead and spray them before I put them to bed tonight and cross my fingers and maybe even say a little prayer to the pot gods.

Luckily I dont have a ton of them crawling around but enough to leave a few leaves with some damage; I think the cold weather at night here in CO keeps them from going crazy but there are LOTS of eggs on the bottoms of the leaves.
Yeah, hit those fuckers fast and hard with a triple-combo (or more) to control them! I use neem oil solution, pyrethrum, and alcohol/water or nictotine/cinnamon. I also try to let it get down to about 60 at night.
lampost Reviewed by lampost on . Please share your experiences with spider mites here! Hey guys, Please share here if you've ever had a run-in with spider mites! 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
