Spider Mites

[dr3ss2kill]

Okay so the whole 6 years i've been growing all I've had a problem with in any of my hydro or soil systems spider mites are the only problem. this is how you fix it. Okay first off you could just use nem oil. Spray it in the bottom part of the leaves. Or just for 15 minutes take a propane bottle full of Co2 and bleed it into the room on a high table with fans since Co2 is heavier than Oxygen and the fans will help move it around the room. Nothing liveing after 15 minutes in that room won't live. So be careful. But I've done it and when your done look at the leaves an they will still be there but they will be dead and you just need to brush them off the leaves. If there's anymore questions let me know. Contact info on my pro.

Hey neighbor... Oregon here...
I did try that sort of method.. But those damn eggs never die. And I swear as soon as they hatch they are laying more eggs.
Controling them is one thing... Getting them completely out is another.
Unfortunataly I own a dog. I could have killed them all and my dog tracks more in.
Am allowed 9 plants blooming with my permit. As you can see with pic. It's a cramped fit...
I need a bigger grow box so I can get completely around the plants to spray DAILY...
By doing so 3 weeks before harvest I can stop the spray...
sure am getting tired of dealing with them though... and these aren't the common spider mites... These fuckers are amune to most common spider mite sprays.
thanks for the sound advice though.. Really appreciate it.
~peace~

well then have you tried to go to american agriculture in portland and gotten some of there spider mite preditors? My room when i used them worked well but I had to keep feeding the preditors after they killed all the spider mites. that's the only draw back . But If you do the Co2 thing just do it ever other day for a week then they will all die. And keep your dog out of the general area of the plants. We have 4 i know how you feel...

we have been doing Co2 for three weeks now and we don't even have eggs anymore because they have all been nuked with Co2 and are buds are reeping the benefits!

I've always had luck with Safer Products. Alternativly you could invest in an electronic pest detterant as it keeps many insects away from your garden.

an electric mite repellent?
