hot shot no pest strips. use them then toss them. neem oil and all the other shit just doesnt work effectively on large numbers of plants

I just got over this problem fk'n problem! Webs on the buds, that is a large outbreak!

What you need is 4 cans of bug bomb and neem oil.

I researched the spidermite and it's life cycle so I could effectively arradicate the problem

This is how it works
Bomb on monday, bomb on thursday, bomb on sunday, and then bomb on thursday.

Now the beauty of neem oil is, it fk's up the bug reproductive organs so they cannot reproduce, so it is not a quick solution, it stops the problem from comming back.

After the bomb on monday use neem oil on the leaves of the plant, then a day to rest, and so on.

The problem will go away quickley this way, and then use neem oil solution on your plants once a week, this will cause any insect that eats ur plant to become unable to reproduce.....Prevention is the key, and I had to learn the hardway.

Hope this helps.

Neem soultion: I use 2 tablespoons for about 44 oz of water.
Use hot water add neem oil and slowly stir in dish soap until the oil is broken down and a few bubbles are present, and that is it.

I would get a really nice sprayer and load it full of Azamax - it's an organic neem oil derivative plus some other stuff that really seems to work - I bug bombed 3 times, hit my plants with spinosad, pyrethrin, washed with lavender soap, and the Azamax was the one one that worked. With many plants even application can be a bitch so again I would recommend paying for a nice pressurized sprayer.

Dont use the No Pest Strip in late flower. Veg and the first week or two of flower. I dont know about you, but i dont want a poisonous chemical on my buds.

The strips I've been using are sticky, no "poisons" involved..........BB

i vote for neem and lady bugs. no pest strips are a chem although im sure they work.

when i had mite and had them bad. i would spray every day with neem, smash as many as i could with my fingers and always have lady bugs in theri. they were always gone in a few days, its organic and safe and cheap as hell. lady bugs are cool to have as well.

also using neem and having lady bugs in the room at all times works great as a preventer as well.
if you dont have lick with neem your not using it right
