I've said it a few times before but the best thing I have found for spider mites is "AgroMagen GrowSafe Bio-Pesticide" .. It's organic and extremely safe to use during all growth stages. Won't "burn" your plants like Neem does, either. It works way better than ANYTHING I have ever used. Here in CO spider mites are standard issue with pretty much all gardens, indoors or out.This is my second grow with my room full of plants. My first round went really good so I wasn’t very careful with this go round. I harvested my plants in April 24th and put the new round in a day later. I cleaned my tray with bleach and bleached my walls and floors. Did t clean any of my fans(I thought I was okay since last round had zero issues).
I noticed some white spots on my leaves and after closer inspection I noticed that it was spider mites. I sprayed them with neem oil tonight.
My question is, is it worth trying to save this round, or should I scrap them and clean my room and try again? I’m on a time schedule so if I kill this round I won’t be able to start my new grow till November So that’s a king wait.
Here are some pics.
Please let me know what u think I should do.
Thanks.

him saying,The notion of not spraying anything on your plants, because sprays always damage plants, is silly.
Yes, you can damage plants when you spray them, but it is not inevitable.
Great idea to wait until the 15th and see how it pans out. Hoping for the best in your case. I will be humbled and surprised if your mite issues go away completely, and you are able to get a proper harvest off.I soaked my plants with the spinosad. I used two table spoons for half a gallon. I took the plants out of the room and sprayed them. Then I put them back in and killed the lights and turned all my fans on. After an hour I turned my lights back on when they were all dry. I will use the dr stuff in three days. And back to the spinosad. If I can’t get rid of them by the end of this month I will scrap this grow and start back up in November. I do t wanna be battling mites during g flower. I would rather not be flowering if the mites are still present. I plant to flip on the 15th. So have the first two weeks of flower to get rid of them.
Thanks for all the reply’s.
Thanks for changing my words around... Never said "always damage plants"....The notion of not spraying anything on your plants, because sprays always damage plants, is silly.

Grow the fuck up and stop trying to parse your way out of the fact you said something dumb.Thanks for changing my words around... Never said "always damage plants"....
"can cause damage to your plants" is the exact wording I used.
Clearly nobody went to school here.
Later "Bros", gaslight away.
Harsh realities of dealing with mites!Due to being in veg, my advise would be to find a good brand of insecticidal soap, or make your own, plenty of video's on it online, and spray the shit out of any thing that won't give you an electric shock, then see how you go, if this knocks the numbers down, then let the little bastards have it again, then wing it through flower and deal with the mite problem at the end of your run when you can spray/clean your space, I've flowered from start to finish with a mite problem, be prepared, as some you win and some you lose.
Don't waste your breath, not reading this. PM me if you got something to say, thanks.my own advice:
the two wall of text you wrote at first don't make you smarter it just make it obvious to everyone how limited is your own experience with growing cannabis and basic, medium and in depth knowledge.
you've said:
"Don't waste your cash on any products for the mites. They won't do the trick and you will more than likely damage the plant which defeats the purpose."
"Spinosad will damage your leaves and destroy your plant if you dont use it in a dilute enough form. And when you dilute it, it just does not work at all, and still may damage your new growth to the point where your plant is now stunted completely."
so you made it sound a lot like pesticide isn't the way to go and don't work ... and you offered no real solution or advice but to reduce the population
you tend assume your own experience as rules of thumb even against things known for long in the industry. don't take it too personnal but i don't know what you did wrong when using spinosad or a product containing small amount of spinosad but most people and professional use pur spinosad diluted safely and efficiently for years.
i'd personnaly once mistaken and used 10X recommanded dose and that didn't burn, kill or slowed growth of my plants.
i don't feel like explaining you why in details but pure spinosad is one of the best first strike choice against some pest due to it's two novel mode of action contact and ingestion (have a look at the spinosad wikipedia page and every other pesticide available on the market and compare you'd be surprised)
speaking of scientific data i think you should spend more time using google as there is already plenty of infos easily available from many renowed source about how to deal with spidermites, for instance things like any renowed and or historical EU breeder blog pages there is tons and they cover a wide range of topic about cannabis, thing like growweedeasy.com
once you'r done with google and as it seem you like scientific stuff give a try at "google scholar" and aim for the latest scientific publications and researchs about cannabis, some article are a tad bit indigest but as it seem your into scientific things, once your done with that "Bro" we may start having some interesting discussions.
Please let us know how well this worked for you.I soaked my plants with the spinosad. I used two table spoons for half a gallon. I took the plants out of the room and sprayed them. Then I put them back in and killed the lights and turned all my fans on. After an hour I turned my lights back on when they were all dry. I will use the dr stuff in three days.

Thanks for all the reply’s.
