Spider Mite questions

So I,m 3 week into flowering and i have been fighting these damn spider mites .So far I have sprayed head to toe with neem then 3 day later permetheum and 3 days later neem again .I dont see them anymore so I went and bought a 30 X loupe and i can see them but doesnt look like they are moving .Can u see them move when they are babies? I could see adults move with the naked eye.Looking for some answers on this because every leave on the damn plant has damage and I have lost alot of larger leaves .Its 630 am here at 830 the lights go out and I,m thinking of spraying with 50/50 alcohol and water with coco wet Unless someone can convince me That they are dead !

++++rep for help help me finish my first grow pls !

i solved my spider mite problems by putting 3 lady bugs in my 1.5'x1.5' grow box

LOl yeah been there they only work for small numbers of mites or mabey good for a prevenative but ladybugs for me was a waste of money cause i still have mites.

The little ones will move under a magnifying glass. Have you tried SNS-217 yet? The shot costs 14 bix for 4 oz. But it knocks them dead and kills their eggs too.

MM well I just removed a damaged leave and examined it carefully I even while looking through the lope poked one with a needle and nothing no movement.Think I,ll spray one more time with neem to be sure then just spray it weekly follwed in aday or to with a water rinse.

Never relax and think you have defeated them, especially as hot as it has been. Keep doing what you are doing until after harvest and then Bomb your room(s). Then, just maybe, you will have defeated them.

Good advice ! I spayed again this morning gonna spray with plain water this evening .Then i,m gonna back off and spay with neem once in 7 days and spay with water every 4 days. They definatly are not moving on the leaves now and whatever was there just got sprayed off . so i think i,m over the hill but will be checking daily with my loupe to be sure nothing is herding up.

It can happen very quickly and you must stay vigilant. Good luck with that.

Okay so your saying that regime isnt sufficent or what? Overspraying neem cause your leaves not to transpire water at night.

Try Antibacterial Soap mixed with water. That worked great for me. or you could try peroxide.

Yeah i was thinking about the insecticidal soap for pm .
