We're all lucky to have friends and fam with great strains in case our gardens ever go down. I'm glad these little bastards haven't beaten a single garden. The temps are finally starting to cool off maybe I'll be able to eradicate them this winter, but I feel it is more of a never ending battle because they have been around for years.

They seem to be under control during the winter and then it warms up and bamm.

I've found that they like ECSD way more than PK and BBB more than PK. When I see spots on those stains I know they are back and spray everyone.

I will tell you what I used for mites and it worked like a charm I refuse to use any pesticides on my crop are you kidding me I'm smoking that shit LOL LOL>>>>
Anyways this I prefer to use plants to fight plants and they do a great job if you just look into it.:
1 cigarette
cyanne pepper 1/2 tea sp.
garlic 1/2 clove crushed ,you can use one drop of ivory as a wetting agent but I don't like to use it as it has a taste to it I find. But it does bind to it if you wash it off it's really up to you.
mix in water bottle let sit over night
shake well before using
Find mother leaf remove.....!!!!!.....
Then spray undersides of leaves till drenched. repeat everyday for a 21 dayz .. You may need to go back just like you might if you did a pesticide. Only CO2 would stop this LOL.Go through lifecycle of the spider and remove one inch of soil. After gro is finished remove all soil and bleach whole room and all pots as that will be the hardest part!!!! LOL.... good luck bro sorry to hear about the mites and the leaks damn welcome to my world LOL peace out Headband707

100% mite free!!!!! That's a great feeling lol

HS- try taking a run off, start new moms and bomb shit for 2 weeks. Lose a run and a few hundred on pest control and prob solved. Be better than passin around the Borg to all corners of the map. That was seriously the worst experience and most costly of my gardening career. If I got rid of em n so did deezy and most of us that were "gifted" mites killed em so can u. Put the time in!

just like you said take the time guys and work if you want them gone.i had first sprayed volck oil 2 times heavily applied till it drip off of leaves i had made sure i hit the bottom of leaves as if i was blasting them right off with a bottle pump this worked and i thought i didnt need to apply anymore but if i had done it a few more times i would have won then.so my clones was rooted and i sprayed them the same way and threw out the veg area and only kept 3 plants after i had harvest found a few mites i bomb the room and sprayed the walls down and cleaned meanwhile the 3 plants was growing in seprit room i keept up with them cleaning that room as well next thing you know i didnt bring any plant to my grow/flower room till i had rooted clones from the plants.the whole time i took off 2 months but keept small plants alive to start over.it was all worth it

smoke ranked at #1 in my area how can i be mad,lol:tiphat: :thank you:

I didn't want to cause any problems or delays, rest assured however I've had my own delays and karmic retribution for spreading the borg.

My only saving grace is as you said the LVPK is so good that the world needs to know her, and every new home equals thousands of happier smokers!

I battled those same mites. here is a link to a very very powerfull homemade remedy. It works pretty good make sure you rinse well
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=18473

also I used something called organicide that works freaking great. but dot use it in last two weeks of flower.

FOLLOW my link. that mixture kills and disolves mites and their eggs. If your mite problem is really bad you need to spray your whole room with it.

The borg are everywhere anyways. every grower should always be prepared to deal with bugs, so it is no big deal. anyone who goes out side risks getting borged. It was good for me cause I learned all kinds of ways and good methods to kill those fuckers, now spider mites see me and run. :)

Same here
Once I catch the little fuckers I nuke the shit out of them. Doesnt hurt to hang a prozap insect killer just in case.

Nice work to all of you gentlemen.

I would diffidently take the pk with the mites. Because there is no pk around here.

notice the blocks on the floor i build with wood and plastic so that water dont run everywhere and i can vacum water up
all you need is 4 peices of 2x2 wood and plastic then staple the outerside to hold plastic so you end up with a window like square and are movable

Hydrosun, We are responsible for what we bring in our own gardens. Bugs included. We all have a choice whether or not to receive something. Every cutting needs to be treated like you're rolling around in barbed wire with Magic Johnson :D Very Carefully ;) It'd be great for everyone to be bug free but it's not the reality and I know dozens of people better off for getting with the genetics.

#1 smoke

Cheers
