Hey brother your not alone, the war is on. I think hitting your entire room was a good move,,, may not see them but they are there.
Last night while doing some training I found s.m. AND thrips in there, I think I got it early enough though. In my experience mites will utilize that screen and use it as a super highway.

Lines of attack.
~ environment- keeping it cool, turned off the dehumidifier, and spraying with cold water once a day.
~And these guys.

Spider Mite Predatorsnot only feed on Spider Mites and their eggs, they also breed twice as fast! Each Spider Mite Predator sucks the juice out of about 5 Spider Mites a day, or 20 of their eggs. Used as directed, predators should noticeably begin to gain control within 4 weeks, and then continue until the Spider Mites are nearly or completely wiped out. Predators disappear when the Spider Mites are gone.

I also got some ladybugs and will actually make a home and feed them a little (raisins) as well.

Genetics are genetics they don't care which way the light hangs.

Spider Mite Predatorsnot
Dude..."Predatorsnot"....that's some wicked sounding stuff. Sticky too.

lol, well, I am sorry to hear of the bugs Dr Who. I liked the raisins idea
when I looked up making a "bugouac". I think that mine kept my ladybugs
in my garden much longer.

Please do post any sources for beneficial predators. I am always looking
for a good source.

I discovered that Home Depot carries a line of beneficial nematodes. (these
are in my pots right now) I have used two different sources and "The Ladies
In Red", as the HD brand is called, were a good bit less expensive.

Good luck,

JD

That is a great site. Thanks.

I would love to be able to breed desired insects.

I thought that this was a funny piece of info:
If Ladybugs tend to fly away, spraying their backs with a soda pop/water solution glues their wings shut for about a week.
While I did make a bivouac, I did not try this.
JD

P.S. That site looks to have pretty good prices. Thanks again.

Soda can be very acidic though and thats something ladybugs dont like. I say use something like corn syrup and water would work the same without the acidity. So apparently there is a risk of the ladybugs eating my predator mites "any soft bodied bug", this kinda puts me in a pickle... I think mite control def get priority over the thrips. So I'll introduce the mite tripple threat and breed (hopefully) the ladybugs outside. I may introduce just a few into the grow, hopefully they take the larger meal in the thrips over the tiny mites.

Good to know. Thanks.

I have one other issue. I like to use bugs as a preventative,
and so added nematodes to my soil when starting this Crop.

....and I would love to add the triple threat mite killers that
you are using as well, to protect above the soil.

BUT it seems that one *needs* spider mites in order to support
a community of predatory mites.

I suppose that I will just grab these if/when they become necessary.

I can send you some mites to start your predator farm ;-) hahaha. Yes, I would hold off until only if mites are present. In the mean time prevention is key and thats something I havnt done in a while! So there I get it bc I got lazy.

LOL, sounds fine.

I will keep an eye on things. I find that it is at about week 5
of flowering that these things usually show up. I swear that
that the little fuckers plan it that way. So, having a late-in-flower
solution is good.

I am also wanting to figure out the special "washes", as they can
help very late in flower as well.

Onward and upward,

JD

I agree.

I am trying to find the spec sheets for their other products.

They sound interesting, but I see little technical data.

I will poke about.

I want a none napping variety of predator mite. With this said "Each Spider Mite Predator sucks the juice out of about 5 Spider Mites a day, or 20 of their eggs." ~~~ A thousand of my tiny alien predators should do plenty of damage. There cant possibly be more than just a thousand mites in both boxes combined,,, we shall crush this pesky nuisance, resistance is futile. In another week I will introduce the ladybugs to wipe out the thrips. I spent about and hour today going over the plants crushing any I found, def didnt hurt, I killed maybe 100 of them.
