I’ve been dealing with spider mites for months on end. Nothing has fully worked. If you can empty the space and clean hard with some violent things you can win. But I’ve had them in a batch of clone mothers and have been trying everything.

I wish you luck

Turned into surprisingly good smoke. :rofl:

I almost scraped the grow, but got some good advice. Spider mites don’t burrow, they web the outside. So.. some pantyhose around the shop vac intake and export to prevent shooting them all over the place. Thorough bud wash.. and it became the majority favorite of all my grows. :sign_of_the_horns:

They are a huge nuisance… I buy predator mites… But also released 2000 ladybugs every year… The ones that are laid here and turn into larvae return I usually have about 20 to 30 return and lay more eggs on the plants every season. Don’t know how well that works but I don’t seem to have a problem.

+1 for predatory mites. They seem to be working well for now.. I’m almost daring to be optimistic

I seen something on YouTube about washing your girls in a solution and then go straight to drying after you disinfected the area of course
