    Spider Mites

    Found spider mites on one strain of weed. Mom, new clones and everybody in-between. Moved all outdoors. Ditch it all or salvage? Have sprayed heavy with Dr Bronner's unscented castile soap in water with a splash of cayenne. And then a second time.
    New to growing.

    Homemade grow areas. Cardboard, mylar and duct tape.
    2- 2x3x8. 2 fans top and bottom.
    2- Viparspectra 450W dimmable LED'S
    One in each area.
    Coco/Perlite, 70%/30%
    Jiffy pots to 1 gallon fabric pots
    Started with Foop now using GH flora trio.
    Bruce Banner, Gorilla Glue and two GSCE at the moment. All auto's.

    Personally I'm not a fan of chemical sprays. I wouldn't want that on anything I smoke. There's a number of companies that sell predatory mites. I've used Arbico-organics.com in the past a few times. If you decide to go that route call them and speak to a specialist. They'll guide you on which species will work best for your situation. Good luck.

      Thanks for the info. The Dr. Bronner's and water is safe all the way around.

    Best to treat your tent if they were found in it also.

      ISO and water is effective for the borg, I go 50/50, it kills adults on contact, not eggs. Spray with lights out aver 2-3 days for at least 3 treatments. Then watch for the return, also spray the area they were in, floor walls everything!
