its all good...you will find out in these forums that you will encounter 6 zillion different people with 6 zillion different ways of doing things and truthfully we can all give examples but there is no *set* way of doing any of it .. its all trial and error really 
i hope i did get to help you out 
see right now i'm in the experimental stage .. my latest experiment is i took a outdoor 50 gallon pot and i have 8 plants in it right now LST'd to the max and I'm running them all on strait mirical grow general purpose nutes but I'm using the nutes to retard the flowering stage by manipulating the different NPK values to hold off the actual flowering stage and i want to see how far i can push it till they hermiYes that is very true, the best thing you can do is to get a solid foundation of the basic how to grow, then add how to tweak for better production, once you have these down and have seen success to the end,,,you start experimentin
don't do it to all your plants just pick one and use it to experiment and learn from to expand your knowledge of what works and what doesn't
I have shared all of my experiments here and in my grow journal to helps others learn from my experiments and mistakes
hey i know it sounds alittle fukt up but i was really reallllly high and was also realllllly bored and so far under 3 months of 12/12 they still haven't tried to flower at all 
Would not be a practical option for me as my grow area is in my living room, don't think I could handle a 1000 ladybugs watchin tv with me
Don't do it. These "predator reintroduction" ploys rarely work, and ladybugs are actually quite nasty (they bite for no reason whatever). They also like to set up colonies in houses, and then swarm indoors when the first warm weather hits. They sell you 1000 in hopes that 50 will survive and hang around to do the job.
i have seen ladybugs work pretty effectively on a few grows but they were all in sheds or trailers away from a house ..DO NOT put them in your house or you will never get rid of the fuckers .. just the way it is ..
its all good man .. just hoped i could help out .. i wouldn't go to ladybugs unless you have a TOTALLY sealed room and are positively DESPERATE and even then if they get in a crack in your house they will establish a colony and you will have ladybugs for life .. made the mistake.. but i don't have mites ever now lol
can't remember if you are still in veg or not? if still in veg raise the humidity to like 80 to 90% spidermites hate it, would have to go at least 2 weeks with it as the breeding cycle for the critters is every 8 days
Yeah gotta love Colorado's low humidity (great for flowering) have you tried adding a humidifier?Riddle,
I was supposed to start flowering two days ago, but when I found the mites I decide to leave the lights at 18/6 until they were dealt with. Which growstores do you frequent here in town? The places I've been to never seem to carry the same brands/products you use.
Not sure how I could raise the humidity that high for the amount of time you're recommending though. I can ge it up that high in short bursts by putting them in the bathroom while the shower is running, but I've never been able to get my grow area up over 50% for more then a couple hours at a time.
Did ya hit the save button afterwards?
