Wow mites, they suck, I lost 2 entire grows to those bastards.
I did not want to smoke webs and bugs, so the hole 98 plant grow went into the trash twice.
(100 plants has a mandatory sentence)
I now buy
predator mites to keep it under control at the first sign of mites.
The best bet is prevention, keep pets out of your grow area.
If you were outside mowing the lawn, pulling weeds, picking up the dog sh-t do this.
1. DO NOT go into your grow room!
2. Take a HOT shower and put on fresh clean clothes.
3. Do not where your dirty shoes in the grow room!
Mites are carried into your grow room on you or your pets body, so treat your room like a hospital or better.
Whiteflies and Thrips fly into your grow area, so keep your doors closed or screened.
My two damn worthless cents...
