makes my toes curl, I KNOW blood is gonna flow wit dat!
There not as sharp as one used in surgery for humans I get them at the grow store. There about as sharp maybe little sharper than a razor blade. I take top cuts with thick stems and I have to some way brace the cut usually with my finger for I get a clean cut all the way across. If I dnt brace it I get a half ass cut and have to cut twice

I've been using scissors to cut clones for years without cutting my fingers. Why make things difficult? :peace:cof

I usually just lay them down on a clean surface (cutting board) and slice away. Fingers and blades dont mix.

I'm officially locked, loaded, and armed to the teeth for the survival of my girls from these rotten fucking spider mites.

So after mulling over many many suggestions from various threads, the following items were added to jonny's arsenal of weapons in this epic war occurring in my tent:

Doktor Doom
Wipe Out (kinda like mighty wash)
And No Pest strip

From what I've read, the no pest strip by itself should do the job but jonny is not satisfied with a silver bullet...I wanna spray lead like a madman at these bastards, so that's the reason for adding the Wipe Out and the Doktor Doom. I'll rotate the Azamax with the Wipe out every 3 days to keep these things at bay. Tonight I'm going to spray down with the DD and add the No Pest strip, then in the morning when my lights shut down, I'm going to turn off my exhaust fan and fumigate the tent for 4 hours which should make quick work of these little fuckers.

I'll keep y'all posted!

I cut a good size branch like 8 inches off the plant with scissors .then go and trim my nodes off the where I want it to be then scrape the stem usually in 4 strips I dnt strip all the skin then the scalpel and make my final cut I end up with like a 5-6 inch cut

The no pest strips are to be used outdoors only. They are TOXIC-read the instructions on the package. :peace:cof

I'm reading up quite a bit on these things and reviewing the msds, but the consensus so far seems to be as long as you wear gloves when handling the strip and the strip is contained within the grow space, and no cutting the strip there will be no issue. I will be doing a wash of my plants every 3 days until the week up to harvest, so I'm not terribly concerned about any residual residue being left behind. On the package it basically says as long as the space isn't occupied for more than 4 hours per day, there's no issue.

I cut them with scissors straight into ice water. Right before the rooting compound they get the angle cut with a straight razor.

Unless you have a completely sealed room it will migrate to other area. It is deadly to small pets. Take advice from someone who's been there. I've fought the mite war with success. :peace: cof

You came in here asking for advice on ridding your grow of spidermites and there were good suggestions from method, giggles and myself, but you didn't seem to want any of our advice and went with a hydro salesman. Please don't ask for advice in the club 600 anymore. :peace: cof

It did seem funny how none of anyones suggestions were taken. And even when trying to caution against dangers, that were seemingly ignored.

I'd worry about making one of my pets sick using that stuff indoors... never mind myself.

Thanks for the heads up about the small pets. I was looking into that before you mentioned as I have a dog and cat, but the room itself will be completely sealed that houses the tent itself. It's a separate bedroom that nobody but me will be in for less than an hour per day, so I think I'm in the clear on this one. It's a product that has to be respected and used with extreme caution. Once I have them under control in a week or so, I'll remove the strip and stick to the azamax, doktor doom, and wipeout rotations every 3 days I'll use a different product to keep 'em guessing.

Went to bring my seedlings out for their daily sunbath and I have leaf damage. I used a magnifying glass and I can see the damage but no bugs. Gave them a neem bath to see if it helps. I hope they can handle the stress :(
