The search button no workie in this situation. Dude wanted people to see their plants for reassurance. You wasted thread posting space writing your post as well as i did having to tell you that you were wrong. Be a little more polite to new users next time.

amazon an ebay seem to be shipping just as quick ....im sure there are delays but not much.
Yes , in a few weeks , they should be ok to spray with something mild. Lets get them back to health first. (mites dont hurt the plant near as much as they hurt our eyes......not said perfect but you get the gist)
I need to read about the bug b gon before recommending it to someone......

The blue Dawn has bleach, so that may be causing issues.
To truly combat the issue, you need to sterilize the entire room. I would remove the plants from the grow room, then excessively spray the walls and floor with spider mite killer, then bomb the room. I also use 10% bleach spray. I tend to leave a film of pesticide on the floor, around the door frame, and around the window frame. I also spray the floor right outside the grow room door. Helps keep them from entering the room in the first place.
While the plants are out of the room, dunk them a few times in water, and gently rub the wet leaves. After that, lightly spray them with spider mite killer.
The best action is preventative. Never go from yard or garden work into the grow room. When I mow the lawn, or work in the garden, I have my air compressor on, and I give myself an air bath before entering through the garage door, which is on the other side of the house from the grow room. I strip and immediately throw the clothes in the washing machine, to sit and wait for a load. Then it's into the shower. Sounds like a pain, but fighting mites is way more difficult.
The other option you have is just tossing the starts, sterilize your room, then start fresh. That's a fairly common thing to do when mites have invaded starts.

in my world there is no way to eleminate them so we just have to keep them under control. Changing all clothes an showering is the best you can do and it works good for many.
Side note: almost anything kills them on contact so if your just cleaning an empty room then bleach or vinegar will work as good as anything else. They are very easy to kill IF they didnt live on plants.

That's what it was.. blue dawn from Costco lol. Never again. They look soooooo brutal right now. I could probably get more clones but they're White Widow.. which is fine. I was just excited to have the Gorilla Glue.. never smoked any before.

I remember years ago using 2 or 3 drops per spray bottle.. I read somewhere 9 parts water 1 part soap.. Cleary it was way to strong mixture.

They're under a full spec light.. 18 on 6 off. Better than a fluorescent but... I dunno man. Hopefully it's enough?
