spidermites on roots
i have a dwc grow going on and i noticed spidermites are starting to appear. They haven't reached the actual plant, they are just around the grow. When i decided to look at the roots i noticed that they are there feed off of the roots. Are there any solutions to getting the spidermites off the roots? (the plants haven't showed any signs of wilting YET)
i checked the roots of my other plants and it seems like they are starting to reproduced a SHIT LOAD. im getting scared because i have a feeling that this could lead to a big problem. They are starting to go all over my roots. any help or advice to get rid of these?

yeah sorry after doing my research they are root aphids. So i've been reading about some solutions to my problem. so my choices are Ortho Max "Bug B Gone" or Azamax? Neem?. which one is preferred for a DWC and easy to use?

yes they still are in veg. 3 weeks in so far. how much is bug b gone and my local hydro store should have it? cause i believe i need to take care of this problem before it escalates into a bigger problem. what about azamax? i've been reading a lot about azamax and good things about it. which one is cheaper? sorry as i am a poor college student! Thanks metasynth for helping out. Also one last question. since i've just discovered these bugs and haven't seen any wilting on my plants. how long do i have? I have noticed that growth has slowed down and it's most likely due to the root aphids.

Home Depot should have Bug B Gone, cheap, like 10-15 bucks probably...You're in Veg, Bug B Gone will take care of them, it's systemic and remains in the plant for 60 days...its poison though, so don't be using it within 60 days of harvest...But since you're in veg, it's fine. The azamax might control them a little, but you'll probably still have to battle them on a regular basis, just on a smaller scale...The Bug B Gone will solve the problem. I think you're cool for a couple days, as long as they'e not wilting and the infestation isn't too bad...But if you noticed them OUTIDE the root area, you probably wanna take care of it as soon as possible...And for the health of you plants, you wanna take care of it ASAP as well.

alright sounds good metasynth..first thing tomorrow will be to go to home depot and get the bug b gone. I have a 4 gallon res. do you know the application ratio? do i mix it with the nutrient water i have running right now? make a new mix with nutrient and bug b gone? or do i mix the bug b gone with water? how long do i let it run? sorry for asking all these questions. I want to plan what im going to do as i will be super busy tomorrow studying too.

To be honest, I don't know the mix ratio....I'd actually spray the roots down with the solution first to stop 'em before the do any more harm, and then probably mix a little into the nutrient solution...Google that shit, I'm sure someone has the answers you're looking for
