Merry X-mas everyone. Plants are looking pretty good. I think they are just about throught their transplant shock. I watered them very well the night before last night and it looks like they are just bout due for water again. The soil has dried on top and is also dry on a few plants a couple inches down unless I check closer to the stem it is more moist. Not sure if I should water yet. It is going on it's 4th day now and I thinkg I'm going to add some big bloom to the water. (thats what the fox farms brochure reccomends) What do you think?

FDD2BLK It is wierd that fox farm reccomends big bloom for the first week when big bloom has a higher P and K Potasium and phosphous, Then after the second week they finally start recomending Grow Big which has more N nitrogen. What do you think? Have you ever heard of hygrozymes
i think the P is root for root growth. that may be why they recommend it the first week. i've never heard of hygrozymes.

hygrozyme is good stuff, help's keep the root's nice and white. fend's off all the funkys you don't want. i noticed a diff in root color on my system useing 6 ml per gal for seedlings. it's a bit expensive but well worth it.

Ok. as all of you know it is my 6th day of veg. On day 2 I encountered spyder mites. My friend brought over some shit that was concentrated (dont know the name) and we sprayed all 60 plants top to bottom and on the back sides of the leaves. We thought we solved the problem. My friend said the stuff he used can only be used every 7 days. Yesterday I encountered more %$%^&^ spider mites. My plants are getting much bigger and I dont want these %^%$#$% to take control. I went to the hydro store and they recommended a product called floromite (not sure if I spelled it right). It comes in a $20.00 Viel and you concentrated it with water 6-7 drops per quart. He claims that this stuff not only kills the spider mites but also the eggs. He says it will be ok to use it right away even thought I used this other 3.5 days ago. Please give me advice. Thanks.

i used avid, bug busters, neem oil dish soap and water. mixed it all up in a 5 gallon bucket and dipped everything. killed them all in one shot. i had them pretty bad. that was well over a month ago and i haven't seen one since. i check daily.-FDD
try no "pest strips" and ZERO TOLERANCE
Keep the temperature below 80 degrees.. actually... keep it at 70 degrees and the mites will me manageable.. at 80 degrees or MORE, you LOOSE big time

Bomb them, then spray with neem every other day. They won't have a chance...The main problem with Spider Mites is that you can kill they adults pretty easily, but if you do not keep up with the hatching eggs, all you are doing is slowing them down. To annihilate them from your grow area you must be diligent, and open a can of woop ass on them every other day..Bomb, spray, bomb, spray, spray....a product from Folitec called Penetrator works well in conjunction with Neem oil...Just make sure that you PH your water after you add the penetrator to the water...$75 bucks in product and your spider mite problem is solved...GL, I hope you find a way that works for you...-DCG
This is all sound advice, I even like Natmoon's suggestion about putting a plastic bag over them to kill adults..Very non-toxic...Personally...I have not killed them in one shot before, it takes about 3-4 applications..you have to be diligent to kill them, not just slow them down...GL

Ok guys, I just spent a couple hours spraying every plant top to bottom with floromite (very similiar is avid, I believe). I am going to the hardware store in a little bit to buy a magnefying glass and will check to see if there are any active spider mites in a few hours. Updated pics, I will take some now and post them within 10 minutes. Also, I know that AVid or floromite is very powerfull stuff that is known to kill both the spider mites and the eggs, but what else can I use on an every other day routine that is organic and will kill spider mites and will not harm the plants regardless of how much I use and how often I use it. Thanks.
