How ru going with the mites?
Still finding a them here an there. Ive hit the plants from underneath with the sprayer on the hose like you suggested them gave them a blow out but i didn get the kill a mite i used the natures way crap once the plants dried out
20200303_151748.jpg then hit them with eco neem week later. Its not exactly your method but as im skeptical on hittin them with anything apart from water at this stage i thought doin what i did was better then nothing. Next grow i will be more prepared an if i get mites early flower i will go about it with your method..
On the postive i found some asian lady bettles amongst the plants an from what i read they eat mites, aphids etc

Can I assume correctly that you fellas know each other ?

Hey mate....if your growing in ground or pots use about an inch layer of washed river sand as a mulch...old grower taught me; it stops little fuckers from being able to breed under your plant. The first thing they find to eat is your baby; they hatch if you have your soil or normal mulch as it’s moist and warm, but they can’t reproduce in the sand it’s too fine and doesn’t hold the moisture
Got abit of a love hate thing going on dont they...
:eyesmoke:


About the river sand you sayin it stops the spider mites from breeding?
I used sugar cane mulch cause it was cheap an was told that adding mulch around the plants will help the plants with the heat as the soil would stay cooler an wouldn dry out as quick.

that’s gnatts not mites. Mites lay eggs underneath the leaves and have a breeding cycle of 5-14 days. So they can hatch and be laying eggs in under 2 weeks which is why the cycle is so hard to break.

100% but they still lay their larvae in the moist areas and hatch and that’s why you get those infestations; especially when you consider we are loving the plants etc so the soil is A grade for them. Do away with your mulch and use the river sand and I guarantee you will see a huge difference.
I used to get invested in my grow room as I grow in soil there also and was always infested; then i followed the dude advice and used sand and fuck me it works.

Your probably correct....not trying to disprove any of what you guys are saying; just I had a lot less issues when I used sand.
