I Efffin hate spider mites!!!!

Heres my method for spider mite, I realized once you are infested with mites, there is no turning back! You can never get rid of them, the only way is to keep it to a minimal, my trick is to rotate.. I normally Spray on my feeding cycles. and mines is nute, nute, water and its every other day.. So when I feed, I will spray, for example

Monday I would feed nutes to the kids and foliar spray with
AzaMax!!


Wedsday I would nute Feed and then foliar spray with

Liquid Lady Bug!!

Friday water feed and Foliar spray with

Neem Oil!

I would do this after my 3rd week of veg. And I normally veg to 7 weeks from clones.

I also rotate my spray with Foliar feed, I love to foliar feeding my kids as well cuz mites hate foliar feed and i feel like it helps the kids, some people will disagree with me but for me I feel like it makes a difference when I foliar feed. Foliar feeding is direct nutrients to the leaves and mites hate the foliage. so why nottt... My foliar feed is light.. foliar recipe is water down Pro-tekt, hygrozyme, Diamond nectar, and
Floralicious, sometimes cal mag as well just depending if i feel like the kids need it. I would foliar feed in this cycle, foliar recipe, water foliar spray ( only water ), recipe, mite spray, mite spray, mite spray, water, recipe, water, so on and so on. Your leaves will look like it has a nice shield coating over the leaves and I feel like its immune and healthy to those damm pest!!

So keep in mind I would rotate my sprays, week 3 mite sprays, week 4 foliar feed, week 5 mite spray, etc, etc.

I would do this cycle till my 2nd week into flower afterwards I stop and watch the kids grow! The mites will come back but barely anything. Good luck!

And also reminder when you spray lights are off. I normally turn off my hoods, and keep a regular cfl on, spray top and bottom of the leaves and wait for an hour and switch on my hoods.


Best of luck! AND win the war!!

If you have any other methods post ittttt

I've got rid of carpeting in my whole house.I use bombs and wash regularly w/neem or safer soap mixed w/Dawn dish soap.Dawn is key.I keep a spotless room.No trash and a weekly bleach wash down.I know if I miss a step.They;ll be back.Its been 6 years since I got 'em
I've spent thousands on preditor mites.They work ok .I use them towards the end just for maitnence .They don't work as good as a wash down in veg

Once I see em I use a no pest strip for a couple days during the dark period with the exhaust off... along with axamax. The strips kill a ton off the bat. I like alternating sprays as you do to keep resistance down.

Wash your plants down when they are in veg. Take them out of the grow room and literally wash the entire plant, hold it upside down if at all possible. Do this a couple times. Put Hot Shot Pest Strips in your grow area and your problem will be gone. Keep your grow area clean. I don't even go in my grow area unless I just had a shower. I don't let anyone else in my grow area, no people, cats, dogs etc.

There is only one CURE all for mites. Forbid 4f. It is very expensive if you buy it in large amounts because it is so incredibly strong, but you can buy it in small amounts on ebay for a few dollars. This stuff literally kills all the mites AND their eggs with one application AND you only have to spray the top sides of the leaves. It kills eggs and bugs through the leaves.

I battled mites for almost two years. Tried everything. I read about forbid 4f on a local forum for a dispensary, and got some on ebay. I have not seen a mite since. You only need to use it during vegetative stage. Do not use during flowering. Forbid is systemic and kills for about 40 days after you spray them. Best thing is, it kills THE EGGS. I spray the floor between the pots once or twice during flowering.

Forbid 4f fries them. IT's harsh but IT KILLS THEM 100% You just use it for six months, only during vegetative phase and you are done, the borg is defeated. I have never switched it with other pesticides like others suggest. The manufacturer states it isnt necessary. All I know is it WORKS.

ON ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Forbid-4F-spidermite-formula-1-4oz-Free-Lightning-fast-shipping-with-tracking-/251153008317?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a79e2c6bd

1 ml makes 1-2 gallons. Awesome stuff. Mite holocaust.

Ive recently gotten mites. I tried using a doctor doom fogger and that slowed them for a few days then they was back so about a week ago i got some spider mite predators. I got the triple threat mix from superior growers. Ive not noticed a change it actually seems to be getting worse. But i think withing 6 weeks they should be taken care of.

I've used plenty of predators.Never was a fix all.But it kinda helped to use when you have a few weeks left
