Awesome, thank you for the detailed reply. I’ve been applying neem in the evening, and have the greenhouse so no worries about rain. Jacks and Azamax added to the next Amazon order!
That's great. You have a handheld microscope or 30x ot better loupe? Some of these pests are very difficult to see. I'm constantly flipping my leaves and checking them (I am very OCD though). I look like a chimp picking through fur, rofl. It's actually kind of a relief now that I know they're there.
Not 30, need a better one. I’ve seen just a few random aphids which had me worried. I had some bottom leaves that looked like spider mite bites, but since a few neem applications have not seen any further development or bites on new leaves.
Sounds like you've got them handled. I've noticed the edges of the leaves grow clean of freckles and regain that healthy waxy look when the mites were killed. Here's some pics (They had severe mite damage)...
Before Azamax...

If you have the interest and can afford to do it, a fogger like the one I posted about earlier could be very useful in your greenhouse. Mites migrate from plant to plant so they can be anywhere. Spraying the plants alone will not kill them all. But a fogger in a greenhouse is super effective. You can fog everything while using only a fraction of the pesticide needed to spray the plants with a Hudson sprayer. My cousin's commercial partners used it in their greenhouses because it was cost prohibitive to try and cover so much surface area with a sprayer, if it could be done at all. (I wish I could show you why. Imagine a 50' greenhouse full of 9-10' plants growing 2' apart. So dense you have to crawl under them in a 5' wide isle. It was an insane wall of plants.) The fogging did keep the mites under control. Probably would have gotten rid of them completely if they weren't locally occurring and moved in again once the pesticides wore off.
Very nice, glad it is very effective.
Pulled the trigger on a pump sprayer, not quite ready for a fogger yet, though that does look very badass!
Damn getting some ash over there. The fires are BIG. It's crazy.Grow Log 8/4/18

Everywhere it looks like someone missed the ashtray. Going to have to check how close the fires are.

Looks nice. It looks like the stretch and bloom has begun. I'm hitting mine with the BT now. I've seen quite a few cabbage moths around the girls so I'll try to head the cats off at the pass. I've also seen what look like baby grasshoppers on one of the plants. They wiped out a couple leafs and just left a skeleton. Not sure how I'll deal with those if they become a real problem.Grow Log 8/5/18
The slight pause at the flip is over. Between that and the milder temps, growth is off the chain.

Fed the flowers some of the nutes leftover in a bucket. Perked up and blooming like crazy in only a day.

Only took 4 days to get to Cali from MI. Goodbye spider mites and thrips.
