I have found the little webs on one of my indoor plants out of the two that I have. The webs aren't all over the plant, just a little bit of webbing.i destroy the webbing when I see it. I've been using this stuff though Any input?
Are they on the bottoms of the leaves?...I use that stuff as a preventative and it works ok IMHO.When I had my first signs though I had to use Azamax.
I use azamax, dont have house plants, dont wear shoes or hats into the grow room, and keep a strong breeze on them
You could try Mighty Wash and Neem Oil. Spider Mites thrive in dry weather. High humidity slows the reproduction rate. Sesame oil kills spider mites as well. Mix 15ml for each liter. To aid the mix, you can add 5ml dry lecithin to the water and blend in a blender. You can then spray your plants with this mix
The lights just came on 20 mins ago, checked them and of course more webbing after I destroyed it last night, followed the webbing and what do ya know, leads back to this little itty bitty brown spider on the bottom of one of the leaves. Killed that motherfucker. On the bottle of insecticide I use, it shows the spidermite as a white little critter. This fucker was brown. So maybe it's not spider mites
Also unless you have a massive infestation your not going to see a lot of webbing. Do the tops o your leaves look like they were sprinkled with icing sugar? That's a clear sign of mites. Keep your humidity up to discourage mite growth. You can also introduce a predatory spider into the garden to eat the fuckers. Make sure when using an insecticide to alternate between a couple different ones in order to prevent the mites building a tolerance. 4th grow(Apprentice) - BC Big Bud 1200w

Use like 3 or 4 different ones. That is one really good piece of knowledge for later grows, as this is my first one. I'm at day 33 flower day 3 with an indoor microgrow.
Your product is a Fungicide. You do not have a fungus issue. You need a miticide to kill mites. Taking off the webbing is not eliminating the problem but making it worse because you are using your hands to spread the infestation. What you use depends on what stage your plants are at and whether you prefer a more natural remedy (Azamax) or are willing to hit it with the serious stuff (like Floramite).

It is a neem product. It might be good as a preventative, but good luck using it to get rid of an existing infestation.
First of all, get a fan right on your plants, at speed 1-2-3 depend how are your plants strong. start with isopropil alcol 90 % mixed with about 1/2 litter of water up to 1 littler of water,,, spay that even if the lights are on , dont care if you already have webbing around your plants, spary under, over, behind,everywhere. do that 1 time, then wait about 15 min with the fan on, always on,, then take the same bootle you use to spray and fill it with plain water, go back spray your plants again under, over, behind, etc etc. then let them dry and grow, tomorow, do the same, of course it will cost alchool, but anyway,,do that all over again, spray with mixed isopropyl alchool, fan on, then wait 15 min and spray back with plain water, leave them for tomorrow. the third day, use neem oil. you should do that when light are off, so the second day when light are just about to turn off, spray with neem oil, alway skeep the fan on for ultimate aeration caus neem smeel a lot if you buy some pure one ( pretty hard to find btw pure one because its supose to be illegal here in , so find that in chinsees store haha) mix 2 table spoon with hot and cold water about 1 litter, also add lemon dishies washer, about 2ml, mix that and with the hot water neem oil and lemon soak will mix good, . spray your plants with that, leave the fan on . wait for tomorrow again. next day look your plants what going on now,,, your going to see of course less mites.. use isopropyl and spray a lot again during the day, wait 15 min again and go with plain water... wait another day, do need oil again witl all the mix, the other day, go with isopropil alchool, then plain water again. also the fan is used to dont let mite put web on your plants YOU NEED TO DO THIS ABOUT 7 DAYS, TO KILL THE ENTIRE CYCLE OF MITES, EGGS, AND ADULTS ,,, OTHERWISE, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THEM... this is the only way your going to get rid of them good luck

P-daddy- You sure those webs are from spider mites? I get spiders that set up camp in my indoor garden from time to time. If it's mites, you should see small white spots on the tops of the leaves where they have been feeding. Also, they can be seen with the naked eye on the bottom of the leaves if you look real hard. A small magnifying glass will help if your eyes aren't so good. Some close-up pic's? wak

And plus the pics of spidermites that I've seen portray them as being little white critters. This thing was brown. But everything seems well now. And sorry no pics, only have a shitty ass iPhone camera. Which has horrible quality.
Keep an eye on those plants! The mites that I've had in my garden in the past were tan/brown. And where there's one, there's bound to be more. wak
for outdoor plans you can use ms90 i think, or other outdoor stuff, but its better to buy some dedicated for the proper use of what you want a do, it really depend on witch bugs you have, those i just mention work for mites, but i dont know if its working for other types also isopropil is a good cleaner, you can use it to clean other stuff, like your water tank, almost everything. buy isopropil already mixed 50/50 and remix with about 1 litter of water, and the soak, if its isopropyl pure at 99% then mix with 4 litter of water, well about..
