I believe but have no evidence that; Spidermite eggs can be picked up at the hydroponic shop from other growers. and possibly that larvae can be spread through a bag of weed, especially if it hasnt been cured long.

Im sure I caught mine when I brought a couple of indoor plants, outside for some fresh air. Big mistake, shortly after mite attacks for two grow cycles.

ya but dude literally had my room split for flower etc, last week I thouroughly (sp) cleaned my whole damn room, and then saw this shit on front one, and then done, never had this problem in the other room and I never got any new equipment in there, so its like wtf, great now I have nothing vegging and ill definitely run out of meds between harvests now...............Clones im throwing away too, bunch of bull shit

Secondly, how do you actually take care of the problem, sure you use neem oil etc, but now with all the dead carcasses is it worth keeping? How do you remove all the dead bodies

You smoke any dead mites. When I had the problem I examined the dry bud with my digital microscope and could see eggs and dead mites in some bud. I told my distributor and gave it to him for cheap. Especially cause the little fucks had sucked all the goodness from the plant making below par bud.

Ive seen some people use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the little fucks first before applying neem, probably a good idea if you dont have too many plants. Clones can easily be dipped whole in Neem solution, then theyve been effectively sterilized.

Dude you didn't need to throw those plants out. My last grow I had the worse case of spidermites I've ever even heard of. I let it go way too long, they had fucking web super highways between the tops of my plants! Someone suggested to me forbid and I used it and it killed all of them fuckers and they never came back. It works differently than neem because it is absorbed by the plant and then eatin by the little bastards. It kills all stages of mites. Since it's absorbed by the plant you only need to apply to the tops of the leaves or you can even mix it in your nutes. I already posted the link for you but if you don't want to listen to me then I guess I can't help you.

not a matter of listening, its a matter of is it worth doing, and these plants look like absolute shit compared to everything else.............so the question came do I care to save any of them or just start over, I dont know the extent of the mites I literally NEVER found a single mite, so in that case well lol I have yet to find one but still plants are not happy so comes down to what the fuck is going on......I looked through 8+ as I killed them, found no bugs at all...................

lol dude...so let me get this straight. some people say you have mites and you threw all of your plants away even though you didnt find anything? come on man....
let me just tell you this, you can take a plant that looks like its been dead for weeks and still turn it around over a little bit of time to look like a beautiful new plant.

and the red arrow mites was fucking hilarious! thanks for making my day hope yours gets better OP
