My room is 455 square feet. I'm using one pest strip, hung with a tack right behind the oscillating fan.

Because I'm not ventilating the hood yet I need BUKU air flow when my lights are on to keep temps under 85F. I'm currently using a small fan pulling outside (as in outdoor) air into the room during lights on. Once cleared of the poison I can just open the room to my house. Thus keeping the heat.

However each night I hang that poison strip as I said, then seal the room. It reeks of the stuff every morning.

My question is which predatory mites could INSURE I don't wake to webby buds in three to five weeks? (No poison after two weeks flowering is what I've read). Different species of mite live in different climates. Some die off if humidity is kept below 65% (risking moldy buds). Some die if temps are too high or low.

I don't want to buy the little hunters, just to kill them off in a couple days leaving me with spider mites AND $25 less.

I'm also not sure that mite I found yesterday was all that healthy. It is being poisoned with Neem and the Hot shots strip. I just don't want to loose the buds over not taking steps to insure they(the mites) die NOW. :thumbsup:
Vancefish Reviewed by Vancefish on . Which predatory mites? Howdy all, So I'm officially two weeks into flower today. However last Saturday I woke to spider mites on one of my plants! I rushed it through emergency treatment (cold rinse, mild plant safe soapy wash, Hot shots bug strip, MASS CO2 for 3 hours and,... Neem oil). This morning I did my normal hour inspection for mites on the flowering plants, just to see one mite(first sence treatment). Today is the final day I can spray Neem oil. So I've been thinking predatory mites to safeguard Rating: 5
