sorry to hear about your experiance mate !!
something similer happened to me to, with spider mites when i first started years back , as others have said its about been on top of every aspect and havein a clean controlled space !!
and also growin within your limites as in lights and plant numbers !! iv seen alot of people growin with 2 or even 3 more lights than there space can handle witch leads to heat problems and in turn mold problems !!
another tip, a low humidity hydro option, is just simpley rockwool in a bucket with no run off or anything and plastic sheetin on the top all a sealed unit, witch will drop humitidy massivly only prob is hand waterin and not not over watering ................. thats how i grow personaly !!
hope your next run is better matey

Good luck on the next crop. I might suggest that you wash your next batch of clones with some soapy water. When I get clones from anybody , I spray them for a few days with a soapy water solution. mites don't like soap. I started doing this and I have not had one mite in four straight harvest now.
So if you decided you didn't want to start from scratch, what would you do seeing as they are all fucking dead anyway?
Good luck with your learning experiance, hopefully you learn something.
is that right jimmy jay, shaving cream, probably more expensive then a bottle of soap though
get them bugs pal they will fuck your shit up to no end
best thing is to prevent them to begin with so you dont be needing shitty poisons
Neem is good, neem your moms and your clones in veg
peace
I had the effing spider mites 2 weeks before harvest. They had their effing tents and everything. I used a product called Mighty Wash, soaked the plants from underneath. Mites went away, did not return, no mildew (I keep a fan blowing on them 24/7 anyway) I harvested last Saturday. I had my doubts about MW but it worked.

sorry to here bout your failure and if you decide do what i do even tho i got no mites i neem oil my plants once a week no matter what once my room is empty i shop vac my floor then use bleach i and hand wash everything i leave floor litterally soaked in bleach light reflectors you name it everything in the room gets wiped
once i am done i run fans exhaust fans for like 6 hrs then i make up a batch of neem oil spray complete room all over floor and all
also a good note is when you get clones from a outside source quarntine them for a week or 2 and treat for bugs before ever moving them into your sterilized room
keep pets friends everyone out hell i know of people that have a change room before enterin there grow space they use autobody painters suits you know the white space suit thats a grand idea

No, it is non-toxic. You could drink it if you wanted, according to the manufacturer.

Coloradoan here...we started with DWC hydro and still are using that method. We had spider mites too and NOTHING I tried worked, even floramite which is very expensive.
Read on a board that No Pest Strips will work...and VOILA haven't had any bug problem since. Save the flaming over use of something with "chemicals." It has saved us from ruination here. 2 old fart medical patients just fighting the good fight

right on ! I grew up on a family farm where flies were a big problem. We had one hanging in our kitchen every year in the summer, where we ate all our meals. No one in our large family ever had any health complaints nor have they to date.
(BTW they were called Shell Vapona Strips back then)

Did you try Neem oil for both the mites and the mildew? Its always worked for me and everyone i've ever seen who used it properly.
