Hey I want to thank everyone for there insight and may try some of the different options mentioned on next batchs. The preditor mites I deployed when originally getting the plants finally kicked in and drasticly cut back the number of spider mites probley saving the crop. I think it was partly due also to the destoryer beetles deployed at the same time of the preditor mites. One note that may be worth something to some of you is that when the spider mites just started webbing up the tops of the plants real bad I began misting the plants every few days as I had read this aids in the preditor mite cycle. Within three days I was seeing no new webbing and drastic decreases in spider mite numbers when I gave further inspection. I can't say for sure that it wasn't just that the preditors and destoyers starting to kick in but I did notice drastice changes after misting. So you can take it for what its worth to you just my findings. Any more findings would be happily accepted. Thanks. Peace. dnups215
