Spider Mites

Hey guys Monty here ok so i have a spider mite problem. Ive been using green clean but the little bastards are still popping up. Im almost 4 weeks into flower now so im wondering if any of you guys have ran into this problem at this growth stage and if so can recommend a good solution. Im thinking of ordering predatory mites after i hit it with a new knock down spray i ordered thats out for delivery today. I also tried ladybugs and i guess they were just lazy because there was about only 10 that made there way up to the canopy the rest just cruised around the bottom of the tent so i just vacuumed them out. Im getting high anxiety over this problem and am hoping for new stragedies. Thanks all

Are you indoors or out?

Spinosad helps alot. But once you got them good fucking luck getting rid of them.

Best I have been able to do is keep the population low when it arises

Im indoors

Oooffffff. That sucks. So not only will it be impossible to get rid of them but after the plants are done you will need to do a thorough cleaning. In fact some folks insist you need to paint in order to full get them gone.

Use at lights off, turn ventilation off, 2-3 times for one week, will eradicate spidermites 100%, do not use where you sleep.

If you have a bad infection and go the predatory insect route. Then I think persimillis is The Best bet. A release rate of 50 persimilis mites per m^2 for heavy infestation is what's recommended. I usually apply at higher rates cu they come in a minimum of 2000 where I order.
