    Attempt #2 In desperate need of help. SPIDER MITE INFESTATION

    Im after some help or advice with getting getting of spider mites quickly, I've been trying 64% strength ISO with very limited results, my girl is suffering, her bud hairs are turning brown and im see new dead leaves daily, please help I have 5 months and hundreds invested in this plant

    The ISO and water (I use 90% when I can find it @ 50/50 with water) must be sprayed every 3 days no longer for at least 3 treatments. Same with spinosad which may not be safe on buds.
    Spray the under side then the top, floor, pot, soil, everywhere one of the borg may hide.
    With the lights off.
    This will kill the adults leaving the eggs to hatch, thus the respray. I have read rosemary oil will explode the eggs, but I myself dont want that on my buds.

      Do you think my issue could be the ISO is too weak? It's 64% and I'm using roughly 50/50 water

      Mixed at 50/50 the 64% will be good, I use the 91% at 50/50, but the recommenced is 1 part ISO to 8 parts water, they used stronger than yours and weaker than mine.

      I used bounce sheets for gnats, but IDK if there is an issue with them.

    Kill the plant. And start over. Make sure to really really clean your grow room.

      Agree with you Cali . Had it last year in my outdoor grow on two plants and nothing worked. Even used alcohol at full strength near the end. Nope. Better to start over.

    Outside one would need ladybugs, and other predators, along beside plats that repel bugs.

      Doesn't sound good. Must be outdoor? If indoor, then just know that someone/thing brought them in. Vigilance! If you're gonna spray then it's critical you follow Rwise's comment and spray the shit out of the underside every three days for at least 3 treatments.

        The ISO only kills what you get it on, you must find their hiding places maybe deep in the bud, and if the moisture bothers you add a fan until they dry.
