Spider Mite Help! Total Infestation!

So, i've tried the neem oil, I put hundreds of ladybugs in my little growroom and when I went in today I could visibly see them everywhere feeding on my plants and they look terrible!! Im thinking its time to go extreme! First off I have read up on here about a doktor doom fogger... will it hurt my lights or ventilation system? Also I was thinking of using floramite, then the doktor doom spray coupled with the fogger... I want them all dead and gone. I havent initiated flowering yet so I think I should be OK. Suggestions please?? The growroom is like 12' long, 8.5 feet wide and 9.5 feet tall, what size fogger should I use, 3 oz, 6 oz or 12 oz??

Any help would be greatly appreciated as my ladies are under attack and im stressed to hell trying to fix it!

You have already found the answer... throw the fogger and follow with the Floramite.. Been there and I am mite free... You need the big boy fogger too.. that room is big.. don't worry.. you'll be fine.. just less some annoying bugs eating your weed.

I'd use a mix of 1 teaspoon of Malathion (50%) per gallon of water and spray with that.

HI!! (the cannabiscouple wifey here)
12 oz total release fogger.......... i was flowering and used both products.....no issues just make sure you PH....you neeeeeeeeeedddddd floramite!!!!!!!!!!!! the fogger wont kill the eggs...and killing the eggs is key!!!!!
do both...i did the fogger first then next day the floramite...i had tonssssssssss of mites and eggs....since then not 1 mite in site..and frankly i dont even know what the hell happened to the eggs....their GONE!!!!....

also it wont hurt ur lights...i have 2x600w and a 400w and aircooler system...no issues...you will burn ur leaves if you dontttt PH the water correct..make sure you do that (floramite)...also i closed my vent in the room so it didnt lose any fog and put a towel under the door...worked perfect...im flowering and when it was night night for our girls....thats when we fogged....next day pm we sprayed em down with floramite....
i wouldnt suggest this to you if i thought i wouldnt help you 100%....i know ur pain...we went thru all kinds of products and nothin help but these......and i was driving hubby NUTSSSSSS telling him daily i see more mites, lets buy something else....i must have talked about it nonstop!!!!!!!!
so go now and kill those buggerssssss
GOOD LUCK and CHEERS

Lol, thanks a lot for the input guys!! Really appreciated! Should I skip the doktor doom spray (not the fogger) that kills them on contact and just have the floramite?? Also, what do you mean by PH the water?? Should I use a PH UP product so as to reduce the acidity of the product in water?? Please explain a tid bit more

i believe she means to test the PH level of the water

yes test the levels of water ......need to be between 5-6 it will explain just make sure you follow to the T ......you dont need the spray...floramite and fogger is the trick...CHEERS!!!!

It was shipped this morning and should be here this friday/saturday... i'll use them in conjunction and repost with the results... I really appreciate the help!!!

I have one last question... the bombs, etc. will be here tomorrow, should I use the floramite first to kill mites on the plants and then fumigate or fumigate first and then spray??? I was thinking the floramite first might be more effective, not sure. Thanks guys!

oooh boy malathion is some nasty stuff, makes you gag just smellin that 50% bottle. The last infestation i had, i used SNS 217. its a glorified rosemary oil solution active ingredients: 2% rosemary oil, Inactive ingredients: .6% Polyglyceryl oleate, .1% lauric acid, 97.3% water. wiped them out first spraying, and it takes care of the eggs too.

Well, I already ordered the floramiteand its sitting in front of me lol. I guess im gonna go fogger - spray - fogger 2 days later and then a small misting of floramite again just to be sure. WISH ME LUCK GUYS!!!!

no need to fog with floramite it will do the job and give you about a month of protection

Well, the fogger does say its highly flammable and to turn off all heat/spark/flame producing appliances in the area including ventilation fans so I turned my whole system off, lights, exhaust, everything... giving it 20-30 mins to cool down and then I nuke it.

well budsmoker, i've had the WORST time with these little bastards so im going to play it safe and supernuke em.

95% of bombs will prove only good for the makers. they do little to end or knockdown mite infestations

the FM SC will end the problem

hey hey just checkin in with u to see if it worked!!!!

CHEERS!!!

HATE THEM!!! HATE THEM !!! HATE THEM !!!
Whoa...sory 'bout that lol
Fighting spider mites for over a month now.
Been using Azamax (systemic & foliar) with little success. Doesn't seem to be effecting the eggs. Trying to stay organic.
Going to pick up some NoSpiderMites(www.nospidermites.com) today and will be applying immediately! Claims to kill on contact within seconds and destroy the eggs.
Expecting complete irradication by next week!!!! maybe,,,hopefully,,,please....
Keep ya posted,EH
