i wouldnt have a problem supporting a local mom and pop store if they charged mediocre prices.

its the fact that i can buy a bottle of phosphoload for 85 bucks online or 175 from my grow store.

once everything is added up, i save thousands by online shopping a year, and as a poor college kid thats making it through without debt but dont have spending money, i gotta do what i gotta do :(

but i do buy phdown and anything i cant wait for from them :]
Odd, way to grow is competitive with most any place, even online. The hydro shop I buy at is also fairly close to way to grow prices. I've never bought a thing online. as the dude above said you're paying shipping on something that's mostly water

Here is a spray that will knock them down. If you wait after the first application 3 days then spray again. If your in the flowering stage I would not use this product. Its not cheap but it will kill them. If your in flowering use neem oil

Dude read the msds on that and tell someone to put that shit on their flowering pots plants, my god .ok my bad, you suggest neem on flowering pot plants, maybe you should look at mighty wash and change your mind about things. And again, one application of mighty wash will do the trick, you can then look for them if you like but I bet there won't be many left( none if you spray right), but in the small chance I miss one or an egg or two I spray them down again in a couple weeks, costs me less than 15 bux to treat all. Mighty wash, its the shit.

The reason I suggested it, is IF the plant is not in flowering it will kill them with 1 application.Then you have to wait 3 or 4 days and hit them again because the eggs take 3 to 4 days to hatch. No you DO NOT want to use it on a flowering plant.

I've heard nothing but good about Mighty Wash. Alot of growers swear by it. Neem is garbage for mites as far as I'm concerned. When I had roses I used Neem, and it was crap. Another product that is supposed to kick ass is No More Spidermites. You can't control mites, you have to erradicate them. One little bugger gets past, and you start all over again.

After useing everything I could. Nothing realy worked. But mighty wash did. Its easy to use just spry bottom side up then top side down. Every 3 days till gone. Then use power wash 1-2 days befor harvest to rince anything away. I don't gave mites now but still spry every week or 2 just as a preventive. And sence it 98.6% water and is getting tested for the OMRI listing it can be use on organics.

I used just about everything and nothing has worked as well and for as long as mighty wash has worked.
From the clone room to the flower tents, it's does the job. And the plants couldn't look better after a treatment.

thanks for all the replies fellas (and any ladies)!

i got screwed because of xmas and couldnt bring judgement day to the mites today :(

tomorrow is gameday and those fuckers are going down.

I didn't do any preemptive spray so i guess i was inviting the mites right in.
That wont happen again and im going to spray everything from now on.
:twisted:

Actually that's not quite right, you basically can't eradicate mites (I'm finding) but you can damn sure keep them in check in a big way for a few cents a day with mighty wash.
