pyrethrin's kill all mites and their eggs in about 30 seconds flat. Long as i dont have any plants in flower i dont mind at all to bust it out for some mites. It breaks down pretty fast as well in oxygen, and its water solubility is low so it doesnt really absorb through skin aside from intense heavy prolonged exposure, and can be washed off with dish soap.
Its very rare after a thorough pyrethrin treatment youll see a mite any time soon on an indoor plant. And if you do its probably because they were reintroduced somehow.
theres gonna be some mites on my outdoor plants here, its just gonna happen, im transitioning to a mini portable leaf blower now though, instead of spray. Long as i keep numbers manageable it wont really make my flowers blink twice.
When i really look close i can find a mite scab or two, and a live one here and there. Nothing very concerning though. I was just dumb the way i rushed that mexi red clone along.
If i really had to, im still within what i consider a totally safe window to spinosad or pyrethrin my outdoor plants if i need to. Probably all but the mexi red and mystery sativa. They gonna be shined and rained and winded on for at the very minimum another 4-6 weeks for my fastest plants, and i have some that may very well go into november lol.
