i had spider mites in my grow room. and they have seem to have sucked the life out of my babies.. the buds have about 2 weeks till they are suppose to be done and they are only as big as my fingernail..they seem to have been stunted tremendously also my lower leaves are turning yellow and dying and the shoots of the lower buds are turning brown..
all that being said is there any hope for my plants or should i just cut my loses and start over.........:tumbleweed:

I feel for ya man. Fukn mites...

From how you described your plant, I'd cut it n' chuck it. I wouldn't wanna smoke bud with eggs/bugs in it anyways...don't care if the nugs the size of a 2L coke bottle or a finger nail.

Kill everythang and nuke dem fukers the whole room is infected if it's as u describe.... My approach would be steps
1 Kill everythang
2 clean everythang thoroughly with bleach
3 get some bombs and set them off
4 pick up some chemicals war fare... Floramite avid of forbid all 3
5 treat everythang ya get clones seed plants as if the infected a good dunk in floramite works great when they small ... If u spray make sure u get the whole plant tops and bottoms of leaves... Chances are they are still in ur environment by the t I've u se signs of them webs etc it's to late...,
Borg can be beaten just takes perseverance.. U can't slip upon theco me right back...
Also stop growin autos if u have a prob like Borg pm ur pretty much fucked..... I know u don't wanna hear this but trust me the 2/3 wks u save by fukin with autos ain't worth it... Best of luck mang

that sucks man.... yep smash and destroy! nuke the room with bleach water... and put a Raid no pest strip in there for 7-10 days to make sure they arnt lingering around. Next time if you see them at all i mean 1 single BUG. put one of those in there with your plants for 7-14 days then take it out,, the thing is kinda toxic so limit the time its in there, (put in ZipLock bag when not in use), but it works 100% bro against Spider Mites.

The only 2 things I use to keep my gardens clean are:

Raid No Pest Strips, ONLY WHEN NEEDED!! 100% Effective on Spider Mites, Soil Mites, Fungus Gnats, F*CK GNATS! This does nothing against THRIPS! so you need the one below.

Monterey Garden Insect Spray Contains Spinosad
100% Effective on THRIPS! And spray the top of your soil for FUNGUS GNATS!

If you use these 2 things you will never have bug issues. ;)

Peace SGS

You may want to get some Forbid off of Ebay like I did. It not only killed every mite in my room...its sitting there as a preventative measure incase I ever need it again...

It's also a good idea to try and figure out how you brought them in. Do you let your pets in the grow room? Wear clothing in there that you wore outside? ect ect ect....
