Hey all! I got some nasty black and white spider mites. They were plaguing me even after several types of chemical treatments etc... Sadly, I determined the best course of action was to destroy my plants.

I took a few clones, dunked them for several minutes under water, treated for mites, and check all leaves daily. So far so good. The clones are in my aeroponics cloner chillaxin. :thumbsup:

My question is; to reuse the soil or not to reuse the soil? I mean, this is like 150 gallons of soilless mix. It would suck to try to dispose of it...

So I am thinking, reuse the soil right? I figured if mites live a couple weeks max, and eggs take a week max to hatch... maybe if I just wait a month the soil will be ok? Does anyone have experience with this?

These were mites on the leaves, but I would guess that they live in the soil too?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!
