things you will need.
neem oil - 5 tblsp /gal.
bronners castile soap - 4 tblsp /gal.
cinnamon oil - 10 drops/gal
lemon oil - 10 drops/gal.
rosemary oil - 10 drops/gal.
milk - 4 to 1 mix or 20% milk...doesnt matter what kind.
molasses - unsulphered - 2 tblsp /gal.
warm filtered water
pump sprayer

the neem oil affects nervous system and halts reproduction.
bronners helps emulsify the neem oil and also kills mites on contact. the potassium of fatty acids
does them in. cinnamon, lemon, rosemary all deal with the eggs, especially cinnamon.


milk has been found to kill soft bodied insects as they have no pancreas
and when they ingest the sugars in the milk/ molasses covered foliage they explode. who knew.

spray just before lights out. keep fans off till solution has dried.
dont forget to spray the soil and all surrounding areas.
spray every 3 days for 3 weeks then once a week till bloom starts. once bloom starts
then stop using neem oil and only use a few drops of bronners soap.
the rest of the recipe will more than take care
of any stragglers left unsprayed or newly hatched.
you can spray the milk/molasses up till harvest.
this is about as organic as you can get to take care of the borg.

iv also seen 99% iso alcohol mixed 50/50 with water work on spider mites on contact.
spray every 3 days for 3 weeks to break the cycle then keep spraying once a week.

i hope this helps.
