I knew that crap had all kinds of warnings on the package.
HotShot No Pest Strips work great for spider mite control!

almost all fetilizers have the same federal warnings on the back of them that prohib using against the directions. Im not condoning the use of NPS either way. Just letting ya'll know my experiences with it. as far as not using them in flower, i think that defeats the purpose of what this thread was startd for, mite control. if u have mites, itll most likely be in flower, and ur past the prevenitive stage, once u see them. Soo with that said, I have used NPS, have 1 thats been in my flower room for quite some time. It killed my mites last cycle, i no longer see them, harvested over 1.3 pounds, and have smoked a piece of all my strains. the taste is not altered, nor the smell or appearance. And yes i have 4 inline fans doing work , and yes that = lots of circulation.

you're smoking crack not bud, read again fatty.how do you know they are the #1 way? you said you had your "first bout with spider mites". you said you called your buddy and he said to get NPS. you said "6 days after seeing the FIRST mites" they were all gone.
you have never tried anything else. you have nothing to compare to. so how can you be sure these are the #1 way?
just wondering.

Way out of line dude

FDDs question wuz completly rational.. BG>???? if this is ur first bout with mites, and your claiming NPS killed them , then what other products can you even compare the NPS to. Nothing becasue you havent used anything in a comparison trial. So you provide nothing to substantiate any claims that NPS is better than other products.

its easy to argue, but far harder to make an arguement... some people spout off at the mouth with little to no evidence to back up what they say, other than what they heard from someone ekse or the little bit of experience they have with it... they can argue with you all day about whatever it is, but provide no real arguement to back themselves up.. and if they do have an arguement its typically "just ask anyone" or "so and so said it too" or "just look at my results" with little if any experience or real evidence with anything else to have a comparison to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt they are right... most of the time they argue because they think they are right, and if they provide any argument for their case its weak at best... you cant fight ignorance...
sounds like my root bound argument. i show pics of 7 foot tall, pound and a half plants in 6 and 7 gallon pots. people straight up tell me, after seeing the pics, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!".
um, what?

i saw those pics... its hard to believe.. but if the proof is right in front of you.. well its hard to argue with.. obviously you have tried and experimented and have the proof to back up the claim.. its not just something you heard or read and are just repeating because it sounds cool or makes you sound smart or a better grower or whatever... the worst part is when you have the evidence to back up the claims, the comparisons to prove its not a fluke, and people still want to argue with you..sounds like my root bound argument. i show pics of 7 foot tall, pound and a half plants in 6 and 7 gallon pots. people straight up tell me, after seeing the pics, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!".
um, what?
your plants are amazing btw.. very very amazing.. gives me hope that i can reach my personal goal for my plants!

I just bought a strip today.
my room is 10X10 with 24 hours of good ventilation.
I think tomorrow ill put a timer on my main exhaust fan so it goes off for 4 hours a day, and see how they are in a week with out spraying anything on them just using the Hotshot strip.
Chemicals or not, when your 20 G's into your operation(equipment, rent, utilities) Mites have to be eliminated at all reasonable costs.
