spider mites on first grow

[Shovelhandle]

Remove the plants from the room and bomb the room with Pyrithium or other serious bug killing spray. Meanwhile, plastic wrap your pot and soil (plastic bag). Using any or all of the mentioned soaps (dish soap without any of the ammonia or other addatives, neem, Safer insecticidal soap, etc.). Get it soaking wet under and over the leaves. wait 10 minutes or so and rinse completely. Let everything dry and settle and put your plants back. This also works as well for PM.

... from one of my local Yodas, who has basically been growing as long as I've been alive, was this:

NEVER enter (or even get near) your grow space until you've removed your street clothes, had a shower and washed your body AND hair and face, and then put on clean fresh clothes...

You never know what kinda shite you've been walking around in, out in the air... pollen, dust mites, spider mites, aphids, etc...

I try to follow his advice on this explicitly

Just my :twocents:
