Will stress mites but won't eliminate themso no one has an answer as far as the high temps? I do t have anything going in the room and just cranked it up to 90 degrees. Just wanted to clear things out before putting in my cover crop seeds(been a while/a little rusty). I'll end up doing my regular neem treatment and all but I thought I remembered doing that after my room clean so... I did maybe even 110 degrees. I could get it pretty hot just don't want to cook my worms. There watered good and temps wont be that high for to long.
Much respect
I've heard that above 83F, the breeding speed is so fierce it's not worth it to try controlling them. I've also heard temps high enough to interrupt the mites is damaging to the cannabis.so no one has an answer as far as the high temps?
Noobie question here.
How do spider mites get in contact with your indoor garden in the first place?
Your mileage may vary. Conditions can keep it around (even outside, especially with root drenches for aza products) for MUCH longer than the mfg's 'testing' will show. Ask the growers who've had their product rejected after testing...
Personally, azadirachtin products are a solid "No F'ing Way," in my garden. This includes unrefined neem oil and neem seed meal. Totally and completely ruins the cannabis for those of us who are allergic to azadirachtin.
Actually, I've run into a rather large percentage of people who are only slightly allergic... causing them to believe their issues are from something else altogether.Well, if you are allergic that is one thing. But most of us are not.

A mild allergic reaction usually translates to nausea in the mornings, mild back pain, higher levels of occasional digestion issues and increased pain from sites on the body with skeletal injuries/problems. It's very subtle, yet I've run into a significant number of people suffering from it.
It's only the highly allergic ones, like myself, who get the full blown CHS effects. The rest of you just suffer without understanding.
Better not to use it in the first place or, as you mentioned, use the refined neem oil for your 'oil.'
I have some uncommon questions about spider mites. Does anyone know how long they can live without vegetation? Do they lay eggs anywhere other then on vegetation?
Nope, it's the aza and I'm pretty sure it's also an allergic reaction of some sort since anti-histamine drugs help alleviate the symptoms. There may be similar problems experienced by people who have some sort of pure cannabis reaction... mine is purely from aza.What you are describing sounds more like intolerance than allergy. IMO it is possible that many are getting what you describe as reactions to one of the 25 or so different cannabinoids naturally occurring in the plant.
