Plants were from seeds. I got my soil from the home depot and they have it stored outside in the "yard"

Yeah that would work , you can get more concentrated at domyownpestcontrol.com but pyrethrin is pyrethrin . You can apply it every whenever you want really. Just watch concentration. Better to go light and apply more often. I usually put an atomist on a cycle timer to spray every couple hours for 5 seconds or so. That's just to let any bugs know of danger. They usually tuck tail and run at first whiff.

I think i'll try it. It has good reviews on Amazon. I tried ordering that Doctor Zymes for $12.95, but at checkout they wanted to charge me $18 bucks for shipping and that's more then the flippin' product cost... That just seemed wrong to me. lol

Mighty wash always worked for me on spider mites,then I brought a clone in from a friend, loaded with russet mites.
Both work well, I'm just a fu*k up & dont keep on top of it & they returned, I need to do a pyrethrin bomb my tents, ( Iv used doktor doom before with good results )
but Im perpetual, so it's a pain.

Consider using something with spinosad instead.......maybe look at Forbid 4F or Monteray Horticultural Oil.

An eco-friendly way to kill spidermites, a.k.a. "The Borg", is to drown them. Submerge your whole plant in a large trash can with warm, soapy water. The water drowns the adults and the warmth and dish soap dissolve the protective covering on the eggs, though you may want to skip or go easy on the soap since you're in flower.

Looks more like thrip damage than spidermites. Hard to tell from pics. Either way that looks like an infestation not a new problem.
Based on the damage you would've seen webbing by now if those were spider mites.

I always finding myself wanting a Decontamination/Sterilization vestibule for pre-entry to grow rooms, and using all the environmental controllers in conjunction with Clean Room equipment to maintain the grow room itself, just for piece of mind...
But then I imagine how much it would cost to build a grow room like that, especially one big enough to merit using that level of equipment.

Commercial growers don't even do that. The best offense is a good defense.

More for research purposes than production, but I realize that and agree with you, the best measures are preventative measures for sure. The extra attention to detail and effort always show through in the end.

Lmao yeah not even going to lie, putting one of those on before entering a grow would probably put a grin on my face the first few times. My main idea besides general biological/botanical research, would be using it in a breeding environment to prevent any pest infestations without chemical agents, and to minimize the chances of bringing vehicle-borne or airborne pollen particles into the room.

After taking a closer look, there is quite a bit of webbing. Its pretty nasty. I'm thinking this grow is trash. I need to figure out how to rid my soil of these things and start over. Any ideas?

I had 5 plants that were 4 weeks flw. and 1 plant that's 2 weeks in flw. I just chucked out the 5 plants because they were so badly infested. I kinda wanna just start from fresh with new seeds after i sterilize everything but i'm afraid they are in the soil.. I have my soil water logged in the wheel barrel right now because i heard you can drown spider mites.

you can bake your soil before using to make sure it's clear of bugs

This may seem like a stupid questions but how long should i bake it for and at what temp? 350? I heard baking soil smells up the house pretty good. It would be worth it to me if it for sure worked.

not positive, But 150 degrees for 20 mins ought to kill em good, works for bedbugs
