If you don't have a strip hanging do mites get back into your grow area? My big mistake was bringing home a clone that had mites on it, and I've not had a problem otherwise. I know other areas of the country have bigger pest problems, and I was just wondering how bad yours was.
Opie,
I keep one hanging all the time! You can see one hanging in alot of my attachments,I've posted.I'm positive that there are no mites. I've even noticed dead gnats on the floor and around the rims of my pots.The yellow sticky pads would be good for those.As they fly around the room,from pot to pot laying eggs in the soil.The wetter the soil, the worse the gnat problem.The azalea is what a mite loves the most! Esspecially,here in the south.If you have alot of these plants around your house then that may be where they are multiplying.White powdery mildew is prevalent in the crepe mertal.It gets airborne and passes from one plant to the other.So you can see how easy it would be to bring all this into the growroom..

You doin' OK,today?
