Grow with the soil food web and want to learn everything!

[StayBlazinDawg]

I'm a caregiver and a patient on the East Coast US and currently growing pesticide free with 2600 watts of flowering 1450 watts T 5 vegg looking at adding more lights with a mini split ac/heat pump to help control environment and fend off mold. I have mites and predatory mites as well. My trash cans of amending soil are friggin pack with predatory mites, that dark humid environment is just breeding them like crazy. Other then nematodes and compost tea foliar sprays and neem cake in the coir soil mix, suggestions? for pest management I can order Green LaceWing Eggs from a grow store and grab some LadyBugs in a day or so. I'm fighting an uphill battle to find info on growing clean green tasty healthy in my state. I want to grow quality bud for me and the family and a bunch of patients in the future. Hoping you guys can steer the grasshopper toward nirvana! Just starting to re amend soil coir mix I know I will have questions for after I do some poking around. Peace

I'm a little confused. Are you asking how to control mites with out pesticides? There are pesticides for mites that use pyrethrins, which are a pair of natural organic compounds normally derived from Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium that have potent insecticidal activity. There are many name brand sprays which use this. Just ask the guy at your hydro store.
