Damn buggers must of jumped on my clothes during outside gardening. So I was tending to my ladies and sure enough...I find 4 webs going between leaves. My buddy gave me this and it worked like a charm!!

Google "Systemic Use of Spinosad to Control the Two-spotted Spider Mite (Acari: Tetranychidae) on Tomatoes Grown in Rockwool"
So it looks like 1ml monterey + 4.8 ml water will give you 1 mg of spinosad per plant. According to the paper it lasts longer than spraying it on the leaves and is more potent. I am trying this now by applying it to the base of the stem. I am using coco so I am not quite the same as the paper.
Different substrates with varying percentage of clay and organic matter were tested in comparison with rockwool and showed that sufficient control was restricted to the rockwool substrate.
alternating Mighty Wash and SNS 217 worked wonders for me when I had spider mites a year or 2 back
hear Floramite is the best but awfully expensive
I hate these bastard mites...makes me want to fucking cry!
This probably works well if you catch them early enough. You cannot use this late into flower or your buds end up smelling like an old woman's perfume.
Thanx vta, thal! Since you both have experience with that stuff, can you tell me if there are any ill effects when using it on seedlings?
