I have a constant rotation of plants coming out of my room so I used the pest strips a week ago and the mites are dead but I have some plants that need to come out in the next 2 weeks at the latest. How long should I wait? Any ideas?

most of the guys using them have them in the room all the time.if the bugs are dead and gone i would lose the pest stips,put em in a ziplock bag till you need them again.or just leave them hang.

I have read several articles that state NOT to use the no pest strips after 2 weeks into flowering. They say that it will get into ur buds and can cause a threat to humans when consumed/smoked although also they also stated that you can wash it off your plants with water. The micro organisms in the water will break down the chemicals in like 36 hrs I believe so if you wash them off and then put to dry I believe that you may be able to get anything toxic off your plants. I am on the same boat with these little fuckers and I am a research whore so Ive done extended research on spider mites and I also just started a thread on them.

Heres a link on the main ingrediant used in the no pest strips Dichlorvos. Hope this helps.
