ALright man I've used the alcohol and water mixture when I had the dreaded mites. And it holds them off, or will for now, but I think that once you get some money, you should think about investing in a 'Hot Shots No Pest Strip' turn your ventalation off and hang it in your tent for 4 days and they'll be GONE (Only like $7)! And when I say gone, I mean GONE gone! It does say though to not use in a place that is occupied for more than 4 hours at a time. So what I did when I had them is I put it in there the whole time I was at work, so like 8-6, then when I got home I just put it in a ziplock bag to keep all the shit from spredding around the house while I'm there. I mean it does seem like a hastle, but it's WAY easier than spraying down your plants every single day for a week or whatever, AND that alcohol smells like SHIT when sprayed all in your house, it'll take a bit to go away. Just my $0.02 ayways. I've delt with spidermites once, and tried the alcohol/water thing, and it just slowed them down. I will ALWAYS use a Hot Shots NPS from now on for those bastards! You just have to be careful and smart about using them that's all.
