My first grow & now I have spider mites

Troubleshooting

Hi @Donaldj, I recently noticed mites, my plants are 3 weeks from finish.
I’ve used the Bug Blaster purchased from ILGM (2 applications so far).
Noticed you mention mighty wash.
Here’s what came up on my search on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/General-Hydroponics-GH2045-AzaMax-Ounce/dp/B0032JYKGG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496151701&sr=8-1&keywords=mighty+wash

Is this the product you were referring to or is there another?

Thanks!

Mighty Wash is a different product and believe it or not AzaMax is not legal where I live lmao

Mighty wash is a very neat product in that it kills mites at every stage eggs included but need a fair amount and not overly cheap fine for a few plants though

First off, thank you for such a speedy response.
I’m so used to ordering everything off Amazon, I just assumed they would have it.

I did find a local store that carries Mighty Wash & am gong over there on my lunch break today.

Thanks again, I appreciate your suggestions and knowledge.

I had good results with it but at the time had 40 plus plants and couldn’t sanitize room until all or most were flowered so was expensive for me. But is one product which can be used even day before harvest and easily rinsed off

I found a spider mite running across the counter and now I’m panicking thinking I’m going to be invaded! Lol anything I can do to prevent them from finding my area? So far they are not in my plants but any suggestions? I just flipped to flower two days ago and its been bug free so don’t want to fight off these bugs. I was thinking of buying mighty wash any suggestions on were to purchase it online? I’ve been vacum ing every nook and cranny in my house. I I think they came in some organic soil my gf planted stuff in!

It was a little red spec basically moving around on a piece of paper

In any case I want to be ready to attack them if they do reach my area.

Neem will work I think but I used the smite and can see results. They arent spider mites they are aphids I think but its working on them they have thinned down and almost gone. I noticed slight infection just a few days ago and within days they are down to a few but I am gonna keep spraying
