So after a good clean solid 6 months with no spider mites ! Its happened and there back ! I have an almost 8 week old NL auto still looks good but when i misted it i noticed the cobwebs dammit! So ive cleaned a million times, bleached, clean clothes, only seeds no clones from outside my home! Im purchasing 1000 ladybugs and building them a home so they will reproduce and take care of these mites! Anyone doing the ladybug treatment right now? So mad lol

I love them ladybugs. I had aphids and mites over the summer and the ladybugs wiped them out. There are consequences to lady bugs. They escape. My wife’s had a word or two for me when she finds one crawling on her in the middle of the night. The things we do for love…

Research u tube and check out a product called Green Cleaner . I think you will like it . My son in law had mites and used it two times three days apart and they were gone . No harmful chemicals .

Man that sucks big time. I once bought the ladie bugs and my 1000watt bulb killed every last one of them.
So watch your light heat with them or you won’t have any.
But until you get them, go get some alcohol at 70% up to 90& and mix 50/50 water and spray them. until you get your ladies other wise but the time you get them it may very well be to late to save your plants at least your buying some time till you do get them

I have green cleaner because it was recommended by someone here. I haven’t used it yet but also says it’s effective for powdery mildew as well.

You can also start a program to maintain a good growing environment by doing what I do:

I spray my plants with 50/50 3% peroxide (you can use full strength without harm) and let sit for 48 hours (do this before lights out) after 48 hours the plants are sprayed with Captain Jack’s Dead Bug and left for another 5 days then repeat. Once you have them it’s hard to eliminate them. They will blow in with your intake air or hitch a ride on your shoes or clothes.

Don’t forget to treat any fabric pots too.
