I have a little girl in quarantine now. I am washing her off in the bathtub with warm water every day. I use the shower head on a good stiff setting. I even put the plant against the tub and wash it. This knocks off all of the adult mites. I make sure to be thorough. Shake vigorously when done. Then wash the floor and pot with a washrag. I then dry everything out and spray the floor and pot and soil with a bug killer that says it works for mites. I also use a 30x loop to check the leaves for mites and if I find many eggs I pull the entire leaf off of the plant. If you see a lot of speckling on a leaf just pull it and get rid of it. It will take no less than 30 days to kill all of them little bugs. Do not rush the process and stay consistant.

I feed the plant with Dyna-Gro Pro-tekt and H2O2 in the root zone. The root zone is where you have to be careful. They will live in there for a long time. Try to find something that kills the eggs but is safe if used properly in the root zone.

I dont attempt to kill mites in the flower stage. I dont have them anywhere but in quarantine and I try to keep it that way.

Fortunately enough for me i only have 15 ranging in 1-2 feet tall so their easy to pick up and wash. Since i posted this the first time i went out and bought all 3 oils and it seems to be working pretty well. I'll follow up on this thread soon with the results of these products and the mixture i used. Hadda cut a 5 ft plant down pre-mature due to these bastards but lesson learned. Keep ur f*ckin room clean and when you run outta sum good dirt like fox farm dont be cheap and use the top soil in ur garage! lol
