That will be on the test, last day of Camp. I am the bug hunter, don’t forget.I think , after reading the article , that it concluded neem is not dangerous to your health .....
Could be right , I just never tried the others ....neem oil does stinkThat's just one article......... personally, I never liked the stuff, it smelled awful and was only mildly effective. I thought Azamax was more effective, as it's a concentrate of the main ingredient in neem oil. But I always thought Safer Insecticidal Soap was more effective and carried fewer issues when using it.
I wouldn't use any of it in flower but during veg I see no problems. I get CHS sometimes but it seems to affect me only if I don't eat and I'm smoking on an empty stomach. I don't think Neem oil is responsible for it as I've never sprayed my pot with it before.Be aware there is more and more stuff about the negatives (health wise) of using Neem Oil........check this out, then decide.

After learning about washing my buds after harvest I noticed how easy it was to wash the fkers off. I've been spraying with water only and blasting the fkers with the hose, I then let dry and hit them again with the soap and oils. I believe if I get real aggressive I can get rid of them, especially those that I want to turn soon. I've been spraying my outside plants with a blast of water everyday now and they look clean. I'm just afraid to turn my indoor if I have 1 bug left on them.... 1 = 30 x30 x30 x30 x30 in a week they get right out of control if not dealt with asap.Could be right , I just never tried the others ....neem oil does stink
+1 I never found neem oil effective against spider mites eitherThat's just one article......... personally, I never liked the stuff, it smelled awful and was only mildly effective.

From what I've read most essential oils work to some extent, none are cure alls. I've used a variety but not with the amount of oil per liter that I recently read as recommended for contact killing. 8 ml per liter ( about a 1.5 tbs /quart ) I hit them all last night and today I see shriveled up dead mites. I'm going to hit them with water today and maybe another dose of neem oil tomorrow. I still see a few eggs on some of the damaged leaves I've pulled so I still need to stay on it or they'll ruin this crop too.+1 I never found neem oil effective against spider mites either
Aggressive attention to them. Blast them clean and stay on it until eradicated is my plan now. It was my 1.5 months of inattention that got things out of hand and too many plants in a confined area created a monster. I've read they like it hot and dry so give them the opposite of cold and wet. Our humidity here has been in the high 90% up tp 98% and temps around 30c = 86f it was 33c yesterday@ 85% keeping the temp down has been difficult / no air conditioners just fans. That's why it got out of control I should have turned these in June but I can't have buds at growing in 90f and 90% at lights out. lol bin there dun that...now I have 5.5 ft tall plants I can't turn yet.Need two different products, neem can be one but the other one should be something heavy duty commercial in my opinion but what do I know, I'm 0 -2 vs. mites

Did you hit them with the neem ? Or essential oils ?From what I've read most essential oils work to some extent, none are cure alls.

I've been using essential oils & soap but not with enough oil. I got a bottle of neem oil and google how much to use it said 8 ml / liter or about 100x more than I was using with essential oils. These are not babies so lots of leaves to deal with. I gotta get the eggs in another day or 2 but I'll blast them off with water again tonight.Did you hit them with the neem ? Or essential oils ?
It's tough to move them around now, they're 5.5 ft tall in 6 gallon pots ..1 in a 7 gallon too big to move around much I'll go down and take a few individual pics. I've bleached everything in the room and their pots. These double spotted spider mites are a bastard to kill off completely.If it was me I would take em out bomb the shit out of the room. Take em outside and blast them with air. Spray em with whatever the fuck works before putting em back. I know @1diesel1 has a fool proof way to kill em. Maybe for the third time I asked he can post it here lol. That way I don't need to keep asking.
But I like I say never dealt with em.
