You came in here asking for advice on ridding your grow of spidermites and there were good suggestions from method, giggles and myself, but you didn't seem to want any of our advice and went with a hydro salesman. Please don't ask for advice in the club 600 anymore. :peace: cof
I actually sourced many suggestions from different places and read a good chunk of info, and these were the items I decided to go with. I definitely didn't mean to offend anyone by not going with their suggestions. I'm going to be reading up a bit more on these no pest strips though, as I'd like a little more piece of mind on these things.

Is there a central ac vent in the spare room the tent is in?

Like you I got desperate and used every nasty chem I could get my hands on, the nastier the better,,, or so I though. I witnessed mites crawling on the no pest strip itself, so in the end it was a very unnecessary risk for me and my pet.
I know your going to hit them with all that crap, i dont blame you, but Im still going to say what I found worked out for me in the end.
Changing the environment. Temps, rh, and spraying with cold water for a week or so. This will make them very uncomfortable and contemplate moving (no they dont actually think,,, that I know of :shock: ) When you notice their activity has slowed way down, its time to bring your rooms environment closer to ideal conditions to help prevent mold/pm/bud rot and to keep your new friends happy,, but still in favor of making the pests uncomfortable, yes this effects the plants but you gotta do what you gotta do.
There are several types of spider mites so it will help knowing what kind you have.
Now is the time to introduce mite predators, a good bit of them. They will gorge until there are no more mites left to eat, and then they die off.
Now you gotta keep your room clean CLEAN and be preventative and be very cautious about bringing new plants in.

I went with the mesoseiulus longipes, they have a good appetite for mites.
[h=1][/h]If you have already applied miticides dont introduce any predators because you will just kill them and the modern supermite will have zero competition.

OK - Here are some pics. I still can't get close enough to the specs of dirt in the pics to make sure that they are just specs of dirt.

The neem treatment was tolerated well.

I'm officially locked, loaded, and armed to the teeth for the survival of my girls from these rotten fucking spider mites.

So after mulling over many many suggestions from various threads, the following items were added to jonny's arsenal of weapons in this epic war occurring in my tent:

Doktor Doom
Wipe Out (kinda like mighty wash)
And No Pest strip

From what I've read, the no pest strip by itself should do the job but jonny is not satisfied with a silver bullet...I wanna spray lead like a madman at these bastards, so that's the reason for adding the Wipe Out and the Doktor Doom. I'll rotate the Azamax with the Wipe out every 3 days to keep these things at bay. Tonight I'm going to spray down with the DD and add the No Pest strip, then in the morning when my lights shut down, I'm going to turn off my exhaust fan and fumigate the tent for 4 hours which should make quick work of these little fuckers.

I'll keep y'all posted!

I really think u wasted ur money on the products only one I would even use is the azamax and if ur going to use that u might as well get neem oil works just as good.

Good point,,, but also they can float along lil airstreams getting anywhere in your house,,, not to mention they can come in on your pets.
I used to have full body hospital scrubs I would wear, shoe covers, head cover, all of it lol.

The man wants to make sure the job is done,,, cant blame him for that.

ALL HAIL THE FAIRY, MAY SHE ALWAYS BRING GIFTS TO PEOPLE IN NEED. SHE ROCKS, THE 600 ROCKS, AND WE STILL LOVE EVERYONE ELSE, DESPITE OUR 600NESS:).
Let me tell you a story. You see i am just starting back out on my grow as I had to shut down for some personal reasons. Better safe than sorry, I am sure you will all agree. Well Last night I was smoking a bunch of old ass roaches. Man they tasted like crap, and because they were old, didnt do much. But hey something is better than nothing at times right? Well now here comes the funny part. I had a fairy hit me up and let me know I had some beans coming my way. Cool it is a strain i really like but lost my mother. I figured it would be here today. Well we have a new mail casrrier and he was late yesterday. I forgot to check the mail. Unbeknownest to me I had a package waitng on me the whole time. I got to check the mail this morning to see if I had anything interesting. Well not only did I get the beans but some really nice addtionals. I have to say this fairy is AWESOME!!!!!! I am like a kid in a candy store right now. Thank you fairy were ever you are. I really wish i had checked last night, but this really made my day, hell my whole week!!! Some people say you have to becareful with our kind of people...they just have no idea. STONERS RULE!!!! I cant wait to pay this forward.
It did seem funny how none of anyones suggestions were taken..
Am just gonna smile at that and move quickly on..........

Much love to Jig, Mrs Jig/bump and the 600 crewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cut them with scissors straight into ice water. Right before the rooting compound they get the angle cut with a straight razor.
That is what I do, though I use a razor blade.

...and I really appreciated getting the ID on the mini-corn Whodat,
to a hilarious degree. (puzzles get me, and that reminded of the
old "Eyeball benders" that they used to have in "Games" magazine)

Onward and upward,

JD

I think it is thrips! Hey DST - what did you use to get rid of your thrips? They just seem to laugh at the neem. I think I need to bomb the yard with Sevin.

whats the big hard on about what you use to cut the clones with guys and gals? The only thing I have had issues with as far as clone are concerned is beasties, but if you got that under control I am sure you could chop em off with yer tadger if ye fancied:)
I use kitchen scissors for this lot..all rooted fine.

Holy shit they are like the extreme borg mate....ask Don Gin. Fuk me I am still fighting the shits. I have been using a combo of organic soap based and pyrethrin(sp) based oil/fat products. I also spray the spoil...but still they persist. They are very good at travelling on air currents!
