I've seen this once before. Cut the plant down, hang it upside down and they all head to that stump. You can see the party, and if there are enough you got spider-mite woodstock.

Yea, I've done that one also, thanks
I sure hope I never have to deal with spider mites. The stories I have heard make it sound like a losing battle. For what it is worth, I have heard several people getting them and not being able to get raid of them. Basically what TheBioMaster is saying makes sense. Do a treatment and wait for the gestation period and do another treatment. I would probable do a third as well. As mentioned before, spider mites can get into anything and stay for a period of time. They can hang out in the wall outlets, Rack tubing or even the walls or the space between the bottom of the wall and the floor. I think @DreamsOfDiesel had a great idea, he was going to make a really nice environment for the mites and get them to hatch so he could hopefully get them to go away once and for all.
Good luck
Yea, I always do what your saying. Usually after a final wash, then dried under fan, hung upside down on hangers. Sometimes, I even have tanglefeet on the stumps. They sure have an inclination to climb as high as possible.I've seen this once before. Cut the plant down, hang it upside down and they all head to that stump.

I was actually talking to a guy that does alot of work for some of the big commercial growers in So Cal and he mentioned something that stuck with me. The big guys out west employee keeping bugs out by basically stopping them before they come in to the grow room. They will treat the outside of the building on a regular bases. So the bugs basically do not want to enter the grow in the first place because it is so uncomfortable before they even get to the grow rooms. I have been spraying around the outside for several months with success, knock on woodIf you do plants for any amount of time, it's sooner or later, believe me. Best to prepare.
Another medium dose of azamax
Yea, the plants were actually seeded plants, so that was the main goal here. I've since turned to doing washes with only Dr Bonners and a little pure canola oil (1 TBSP Dr Bonner's peppermint castile soap, and 1 tsp of canola oil per Quart). Also, I've done some reading and decided to purchase 2 36 w (UV) lights, to use during the flowering cycle, hoping to increase THC content, while killing any larvae, eggs, ect..I know I'm going to take some heat for this.... But we're already eating it...and I find the air in most major cities toxic to me...if I smoked improperly grown weed or anything with any kind of mold on it I need to use an inhaler... Same thing with the last part of a joint all that black resinous stuff... I would never even think about spraying it on my buds as far along as this guy's was... I would probably have a major frown on my face as I washed it off in the bathtub or hose trying not to wash all my crystals off like direwolf said... But having used it once by mistake because the bottle looks like the same bottle of neem oil that I have on the shelf with 100% success I'm posting this picView attachment 986655
Hey a big second.
knock on wood its been well over a year since I was visited by those bastards. But I keep a set of solutions on stand by. Never let your cats near your grow. Mites can travel in their hair.
