I tried using Phytoseiulus persimilis. They need humidity above 60% which I thought I could do. I struggled to keep the daytime humidity above 50% during the lights on periods so I don't think they were able to reproduce very well.
In the first few weeks of flowering before any resin shows I will spray JMS Stylet oil on them and it works rather well. I don't ever spray the soil directly and I suspect that mites may be retreating and taking cover in the soil and litter on the surface and then waiting for the last few weeks when the plant isnt really growing anymore to attack it.
It's not a HUGE problem. I don't think I could see any mite damage in any of the pics I posted, but I know they are there and they make me nervous because I know what they can do.
Thankfully my plants are pretty healthy and things aren't as bad as they could be.
LOL, stay away from kelp but blast your plants with a moderate or slightly hazardous chemical. I'm not sure why you're reading and replying to this thread TBH. Maybe you should just keep your comments to yourself around here. From the sound of it we grow NOTHING alike and I don't care much for the information you have been bringing.
Thanks.
Wow your thread is inspiring. Great stuff
