Spider mites, Thrips, and White flies oh my!
I can't see the pictures cause of my pda... but I do agree with hardon... reagrding bombing... regular bombing can slow them down... but even bombing every 3 days for 1w days will not eliminate the buggers from my experience... especially in 106 degree heat... wiping regularly is effect.. but you would nee to do it every day for at least 30 minutes... and that will still only slow them down....
if you plants are flowering and you bomb them.. you really should not smoke those buds... especially if you are past day 14-20...
mites can lay dormant for many many months in cool temperatures... each mite lays about 12 eggs a day... they can start laying eggs when they are 14 days old...
they thrive in heat as you have seen... as the plant gets weaker they thrive even more.. they love underwatered plants...
predetor mites eat each other when food is gone... smoking mites is no big deal...
love
