Using Floramite Properly?

Well I have had it with this damn guys. I have tried neem oil, organicide, fugicide3, and no pest strips. They just aren't going away, so tonight I bought some floramite, and my wallet weighs much less.

I just moved to a 3.1sq foot area and 1.8 for flower and 1.3 veg. I have flowering planets as old as 6 weeks, but Ican pull them an harvest early I just want to take care of these once and for all. The other flower plants are still within 2 weeks. I plan on water curing as well to avoid anything left from week 2.

My concern is what is the best process. I have the following plan on attack. Use gloves, goggles, and mask when using floramite.

1. Remove all the plants from veg
2. Clean veg area with bleach/water mix and all the corners cracks etc.
3. Spray entire plant with floramite, soil top, leaves, flowers, undersides. Saok them really good.
4. Let drip dry for a bit while the veg area is dryer from the bleach mix.
5. Replace the planets
6. Repeat in flower area, minus the 6wk plants
7. Wait at least 7-10days, repeat 1-6.

Does that seam 100%, also I only use a little, so should I only mix a quart or half gallon at a time. Since I'm not coving a huge area.

Or...you could just spray the plants with it...as I done, without much fanfare...and I haven't had a Mite back in over 3 months--
Maybe I got lucky??
Floramite is the shit--:yeahthats
 
I second that... Floramite is the shit.
I wouldn't bother with all that malarky.. I had a really bad infestation and after trying almost everything bought the floramite and went for it. I just sprayed each plant (had plants at 6 weeks flowering all the way through veg) really well - to a dripping point.. and definately under the leaves... then sprayed the soil.. and the walls.. buckets/pots, and the floor. Within a day I saw the little bastards suspending themselves from webs all over having some kind of fits or seizures.. it was a beautiful site.
Full recovery since.. No sign of mites. I have sprayed a little around here and there every other week since.. and so far so good!

That stuff works wonders.. I hate those damned bastards.

thanks for the encouraging words, I will do the above and see what happens. I've also read where people will use a sponge and whip down each leaf. Is this a better method then just spraying?

Also I know it's 1/4-1/2 tsp to a gallon, but for a small grow do i even need to make a gallon? Figure the bottle fugicide is normal spray bottle and it was fine for two good soakings. With the stuff so expensive I don't want to waste any by making extra.

I use 30 drops from an eyedropper in a quart of water. Spray plants until they are dripping, especially under the leaves.

you don't have a big space sp cleaning it out doesn;t seem like to big of a chore, though just hitting the moms & vegging girls with floramite sc 10-30drops per L (i like the full 30 drops personally) will be enough to rid them.

maybe start doing a foliar of neem every 2 weeks on your vegging plants to help prevent further infestations...

good luck
