I discovered the mites two weeks ago yesterday. Woke up to one of my clones literally dripping with eggs and mites, Webs everywhere on that one plant.

I washed it and the one next to it with cold water right away. That got rid of the bulk of them but not all. Later that morning I washed them again, using Shackley basic H organic soap. I've had friends successfully remove mites from smaller plants using this stuff. NEXT, I cleaned the beJesus out of every part of my house. Then washed my two plants that were one week into flower, with the same soap. I bought a BAG vacuum with Hepa, so I can throw away anything I vacuum up :thumbsup:. THEN, I placed a hotshots pest strip in that room, sealed it up, and dissolved three pounds of dry ice in the room (best Calculation is 19200ppm for three hours). Then I misted each plant at lights out and turn the humidity up to 60%-ish for the next few days. That next Monday, I discovered my boss is who gave them to me. He was already treating with Neem the previous week. But hadn't informed me he had the BORG! So I took a few tablespoons of his Neem and treated with that for the next week.

Last weekend I found one mite (not mature) on the clone that was infested, and one on my LST. Those I smashed! Then I rewashed and retreated all the plants with both the basic H and the Neem oil.

NOW,.. I don't go anywhere near my boss, his plants, or anything he's been near . When I get home from work. I take a shower, putting the days clothes in the washer right away. Then I shower and put on clean clothes. Then vacuum everything from the front door, to the flower room.

After I go through all that I can go look at the plants.

I search each plant(without touching it) for around 30 min every day.

At this point, I'm hoping diligence might prevail. Stories however say I'm likely doomed. I can say this though,.. My boss is still VERY infested. He's having little to no success at killing them, and now has little brown flies all over the grow. However he's paying more attention to his future set up, then to his current troubles. I almost think he's more concerned with the income then the product.:wtf:

Personally, I just want to see them all dead, who cares about selling the eggs, when you haven't even hatched a chicken yet?

Oh and BTW, These mites I talked about always lay their eggs near "borg" eggs. So, if the flowers don't have eggs in them already, these won't lay eggs in the buds. :thumbsup:
