I wouldn't have suggested it to you if it wasn't working...

And you would have to use it once to kill the living ones and another time a while later to kill the ones that might have hatched from the eggs you might have missed spraying.

So cover the whole plant, including the underside of the leaves and the substrate you are growing in.

And no it won't kill/harm you since it is safe to use on vegetables.

I would try neem oil first. Pretty cheap at hydro stores and works well if you know what your doing with it. Personally insecticide is a measure i am purposefully trying to get away from when i grow. It may say safe for vegetables, but it is still poison.

And spider mites leave small white eggs. They themselves are very small and reddish brown. They don't fly so anything flying is a different beasty, maybe fungus gnats or something else. You can normally find them on the underside of leaves, that's where they like to feed. You will see white dots, and little reddish brown buggers crawling around.

If the idea of smoking something which has had deadly poisons sprayed on it sounds dumb, go organic. I use Safer Products, 100% organic.

thanks for the help im thinking of now the organic stuff sounds like a good idea.

Putting oil on plant leaves during summer sunlight can cause some crispy problems.

Educate yourself before you make such statements!

Plus have you EVER grown yourself?

How do you KNOW what you are BUYING has been sprayed with?

You don't!

Why the bold faux outrage and erroneous assumptions?

I do grow myself, outdoors, 100% organic, haven't bought in years.

last year i tried neem oil n water but it killed my plants. this year my plants were infested with spider mites as well but that was in march april.. this year i did nothin.. just take some leaves off that were badly infested.. n as the rain n the sun arrived my plants got more strong n the bugs started to disappear . n always encourage lady bugs to ur plants. they might pollinate ur buds but they will eat those spider mites good...

[ninjaman142]
