Need help, never had mites before and I have too much invested to lose my crop. I am growing in two greenhouses and have mighty in one. Hard to controll heat other than fan and roof vents and growing in 40 gallon earth pots,too big to remove from house. Just started with takedown spray,but think I need to fog. Starting to freek, any help would be appreciated . Thanks all

Safer soap foliar spray
wait 3 days
wipe out foliar spray
wait 3 days
Safer soap
Wait 3 days
Wipe out foliar spray
Repeat for 2 ton3 weeks.

This should kill off everything. Trick is you must saturate top and underneath all leaves. Spray everything at lights off.

Also, make up gallons of IPM stuff to spray on your walls and floors. In use cedarwood oil, rosemary oil, peppermint oil, and neem. 5ml/gal of the oils, 10ml/gal of neem. Shake well, spray everywhere but not on plants! I spray every 3rd day.

You want to spray and rotate sprays every 3 days, then scope them and see if things are still moving. I believe Grandevo is supposed to be good for mites, look into that.

Azamax, therm x 70( or another non ionic surfactant) , bucket feed paint sprayer wait a few days then spray with something else.... I like entrust or conserve, not approved for cannabis yet but definitely will be since it's approved for tobacco, combustion of spinosad doesn't produce toxic substances. Insecticidal soap works well for mites but ya might get some phyto toxicity. Something pyrethrin based is great too. It's good to rotate although bugs aren't supposed to develop resistance to azadirachtin. Every few days for a couple weeks- no more bugs. Mix at the weak end of recommendations if spraying frequently as sprays are cumulative. A rinse here n there is good to help with that plus mites like it dry. Spray at dusk so it'll stay wet all night, better your odds of killing stuff if it remains wet longer....

If they're a decent sized plant maybe prune em up/hollow and thin them out. Not only does it make spraying easier and more effective mites usually colonize the bottoms first. Good luck on the battle:)

Any thing with ambectin in it will kill mites.

Like said above, every 3rd day, spray. Do this for 3 weeks and you shouldn't have any more mites. This is if course if you get ecmvery square inch of the plants, pots, floor, walls, ect.
