Help for spider mite control

[blak]

These no pest strips work great for spider mites. Cost about $10 and will rid room of many other insect problems also. Simple and cheap. Most stores sell them...Walmart, Home Depot, CC....etc. Try it before you knock it. I have never seen it fail!

sorry i didnt get to this earlier but i just joined today and have not been able to post, alright so im only on my first grow right now, so im not saying im the most knowledgable person about growing, but before i started growing a did research like crazy, i did not want to spend all the money to start and just end up with shit. So i searched through forums like these talked to people and went to the hydroponics places and asked questions with the manager that has been growing for 35 years. I heard of a bunch of different things that can help spider mites but he told me that NOTHING is better than floramite SC. It kills them, kills the eggs, and makes it so they never come back or if uve never gotten them you will never get them. He also told me that it does not hard ur plants at all. If in veg state you can totally soak the plants and leave them for a couple of hours. If in flowering state you can soak for the first 2 weeks, after that they say to put it on a qtip and rub on. yes i know this could take forever but isnt a couple hours out of ur day better than a whole crop ruined. but dont hold this info against me im just trying to help a fellow grower out because i would like the same if i ever got into something and didnt know what to do. I hope this info helps and sorry it was so long just wanted to be as clear as i could.

im so high i hope it all made sence. That Homer kush got me good....:jointsmile:

I've Heard you can use cayenne pepper mixed with water.
Spray all the plant apart from the top end of one branch.
The mites don't like the pepper and so move to where there is none. When they've moved, remove the branch they're on and burn it.
