You want to add a precautionary measure to an indoor grow, give your girls a daily shower with neem oil. I've had all kinds of pests but NEVER mites. And I know they are in my outdoor garden; they eat my damned ornamentals!

Yeah the girls really look better with a trim. Otherwise I'm embarassed to take them out in pubic... I mean public...

I got 2 rooms and a perpetual system. In 1 room I got a 400MH that has a full spectrum Agrosun Gold bulb,I veg in that room,got mama and babies in there.When 12 or so inches I move them to the flower room which has 2 400 HPS's in there.Right now I am 5 weeks from harvest.I am a few days from adding a batch to the flowering room. Got rooted cut's waiting in line.I'll take more cutting's in a few day's when I move them to flowering room! Them freakin' mites got me at a stand-still! All is well,though!!!! The strips seem to be doing the trick! Gettcha sum for sure.It seems that they only harrass the 1's in flower mode! Not sure why that is? No problem in the veg and cutting room.I put 1 in there anyway!Better safe than sorry! I'll post sum pics when they heal sum!

Heya GA the problem is your heat in flower! They live for HOT weather... just sitting there in their unders basking in HPS light... waiting for beautiful leafy girls to come along... Get your nighttime temps down and they will think summer vacation is OVER!

I got a tempstat in the room and it's set at 86 degrees. The fan will then exhaust the room in about 3-5 mins. depending on the outside temps.It's a passive system.Got dampers on both intake and exhaust.It gets bout 66 at night and has gone as low as 51.Yeah I know! Scary,huh? Tell me what ya think would keep the winter coats on them critter's without harming the gurls.The strips should have them and the life cycle dead in hours to a couple of days.It all depends on how often and how well it is ventilated.

Hey you're not using CO2 right?
Get temps down in low 70s day/ 60s night for a while... mites don't like chilly... get on them with neem oil too in veg, spray daily so by the time they go in flower there's NO buggies on them and they have a protective shiny coat of bitter neem residue that the mites hate. You can keep using the stuff carefully up to about the 3rd week of flower and then you have to worry that the smell might get in the buds. Just my couple cents. Mites ick.

I'll use the neem oil and drop the temps to what you perscribed! I'll add a tempstat outside the room as well.That way I can control the temp to the HILT! You ever been there? To the HILT!! hehe!

Thank's!

I am almost two weeks into flowering, maybe I will give them a nice spraying of the neem oil tonight, and then get the mite strips. I haven't seen a single mite on my shit just yet, but I am assuming they pop up as the BUDS start to form. I will give em a nice shower tonight tho!

Stinky! What are you mixing the neem oil at? Ratio.Are you mixing a bit stronger,or are you going by the label?

get on them with neem oil too in veg, spray daily so by the time they go in flower there's NO buggies on them and they have a protective shiny coat of bitter neem residue that the mites hate.
