I would sugest you go to your local nursery and by a miteacide spray and spray your plants ,paying attention to spraying under the leaves as well.
Do not spray if you are less than 2 weeks to the end of flowering.These sprays are usualy very toxic so if you are spraying your plants indoors be carful and wear a mask and gloves.
If you are worrying about useing chemicals you could try white oil ,mix up and drench the plant all over and under the leaves you may be able to sufacate them to death.
Note ,do not spray if your temps are over 32C you may burn the plant..

Thanks. Can I also try with Bio stuff like pyrethrium, and how will I b sure the eggs are gone?

Go get yourself some johnsons & johnsons baby shampoo...

2 capfuls in a spraybottle with purified water will kill them all.

Just spray tops and undersides of leaves to point of runoff....

Spray a little on the soil surface also.

This will suffocate the lil fuckers and kill. The eggs will dry with the soap and the little fuckers wont have the strength to get outta the eggs.

This is a natural cure for our problem.

Well the white oil is just a product derived fom petrolium oil dont think you would have any probs with it .I dont think the pyrethium will work.
Be careful usueing shampoos,i have only used detergents to help sprays stick to plants we use to mix it at a rate of 10mm per 100litres ,can burn easy.

Here's the whole deal.
I have grown guerrilla and outdoors for 3 years, this was easy. But I got them inside this year, and stumbled across millions of details I knew nothing about. Although I read guides, I have very little access to some thing I need. I have to go abroad to buy them...
I have a little room about 3 x 2,5 m2 and 5 girls inside. I made the beginners mistake of bringing them in, so I got mites.
I am using 400W HPS and 1 reptile glow and 3 grow-lux for 12/7 - should I use more light? I water them once a day, in the evening, with tap water and nourish them about every 2-3 weeks. Because of the bloody spiders the leaves are all shrivelled up and yellowish, so I'll try out everything (i am afraid that the girls won't be too much damaged from all the chemistry). If you have some advice, go ahead...
