got tired of the bickering, so skipped to the last page. just to clarify- a sure fire way to eradicate spider mites is suffocation. by repeatedly elevating co2 concentration in room air to 10,000ppm for 2 hours and then exhaust, you will in effect suffocate the mites and their eggs. This is not a method I've "heard of", or "read somewhere", this is actual application in the field that works time and time again. Obviously the best answer regarding mites is to be clean, and never get them. but once they are there, they get nice and cozy, by removing available oxygen by increasing co2 levels , they suffocate and die, this alone will kill them every time if done properly. of course by the time you notice- alot of damage has already been done, so it wont make yer girls pretty again in 10 minutes but it WILL kill those lil fuckers. mites love high temps, cluster fuck gardens, and unprotected plants. mites hate well spaced ventillated areas, neem oil, and sterile gardening practices.
how do you gauge 10,000ppm co2? The highest controller is 5,000 I've found. Im interested in having this as an option. What co2 levels become toxic for the plants?
