controling spider mites with co2+benefits?

Lordly · May 4, 2020

i have read that co2 helps get rid of spider mites and also benefits in flowering stage,is it real? i bought neem oil atm since im in second day of flowering and im gonna spray with it,but what should i do if they'll be back in late flowering?
is it possible to create co2 at home? if so what do i need to mix,ratios,etc...

You’re 100% they are spider mites? Do you have any pictures?

yes im 100% sure,i had same problem before in late flowering stage,they killed my plant. i saw only one today walking and i instantly removed that leaf including neighbor leaves,tonight i will spray with neem(lights off), but i dont know what to do if they will attack my plants again in late flower. i have 3 plants,only one plant had only one spider mite,i checked every leaf both sides and they are not colonized yet, also checked 2 other plants and they are healthy,no sign of mites.

The amount of CO2 that would be needed is VERY high... higher than you could reasonably achieve at home without using bottled gas or a LOT of bicarb/vinegar! Often the CO2 will just knock them out until the gas dissipates somewhat.

Persimilis beneficials (predatory insects) as a PM will do the trick. Or use plant therapy for a knockout and then add the beneficiary insects
