Fuck them spider mites ! Mine are back right at the end of flower , need a good ipm in place -
The way I finally was rid of them was the predator mites Mosh; and keeping pollens around so they could replicate; lay predator eggs.. They just up and relocated somewhere on day. I could bleach them fuckers and spray insecticides between runs and never made any headway; for years on end.


I used a mix, so I don't know exactly which were most successful; but I think it was one of the last two; probably the A.swirskii... Or was it the dreded spidermite; I forget. 🤷‍♂️




P.persimilis, N.californicus, A.cucumeris, A.swirskii. But again; I bred them for nearly 6 months to a year with pollens and there were swarms of them bastards.

Exactly, that's where the spray is ineffective, in the dirt; or cracks in the walls, ect. Anywhere they can hide; or lay eggs. It will knock them back good, but they always seem to make a comeback somehow. I think any possible permanent solution (if you can call it that) is a multipronged approach. Plus, living where your at, I think your likely carrying them in from outside. Pets; ect....

It's why we had strict staging areas in the big grow room back in the day; it was insurance. Cause catastrophe was only one mite away. But even that's not 100%.

Shower, fresh clothes, and changing your shoes at the door when/before tending plants absolutely key... Pain in the ass, but so are mites.

Probably the best overall solution stated here. We used to have these, and were required to put them on in the gateway. There was always a few of them sitting in the buffer area. The lead grower was adamant about this. Fuck I wish we could find that cut of that black licorice strain some day; one the most potent; best tasting strains, I've ever smoked that you'll never find anywhere; hands down. Lost to time and connections. If anyone here in the PNW comes across it, please speak up.

The guy was from Aberdeen area.

I believe I’m bringing them in too new rule - shower before I open the door! Period.
i got them pretty good but a couple plants weren’t happy with me

Few bumps in the road here, things are starting to thicken up. Here's the Purple punch, certainly the standout in the bunch as far as size, and overall growth.
