what stage of growth? flower or veg?
my first choice is co2 in high ppm i empty a whole 2o pound can.
if in veg i would first fill a 5 gallon or bigger bucket with neem oil mix with water. and turn the plant upside down and submerge her you will get every single mite on her.
repeat in 3 days with pythium same process and the in 3 more days the co2.
they will die but the timing is important before they lay more eggs.
and then clean everything.twice

Neem oil is all natural, and the plants love it. Just mix about 10mL per Liter and spray about once a week. Your leaves will look healthier, and mites will go away.

Mites eggs hatch every 2 weeks and nothing natural is gonna penetrate the eggs, so the best thing to do is spray off any eggs you see, and not give them a surface to lay new ones on.

Lady Bugs are awesome, but they don't follow orders well. Praying Mantis is cool, but by the time you have them, too late. The Plant absorbs nutes via the leaves, so any oil would delete that Plant's ability. Safer's soap, clogs the plant's ability to absorb, wtf, light, air, etc. Not I, said the Dumb Ass. To confirm, see dirt doctor .com, library, spider mites. They only attack sick plants.... liquid seaweed sprayed on the plants every 7 to 10 days from 8" tall to one week before harvesting, will keep them away, and fert your plant, also. Please, next time, see the threads on ... whatever, it's all there, not the FAQ. sect.

Here are some mite predators, they feed on all stages of the mites, I believe.
Phytoseiulus persimilis (pur sim ill us) Excellent in greenhouses with high humidity, moderate temperatures. Low growing plants, greenhouse crops, ornamentals & strawberry fields. Attacks 2 spider mites, Tetranychus urticae and mites in the Tetranychidae family. Predominantly female 4 to 1.

Mesoseiulus longipes (lon gi peas) Used in hot greenhouses on tall plants. Tolerates lower humidity than P. persimilis . Does not do well in outdoor locations. Predominantly female 4 to 1.

Neoseiulus californicus (cal if orn ah cus) Excellent for mite control on roses and vegetables in greenhouses. Also for cyclamen mites in strawberry fields. Tolerates higher temperatures and lower humidities than P. persimilis. Predominantly female 2 to 1.

Neoseiulus fallacis (fa lay see us) Similar to N. californicus but more effective in northern climate on mint hops, strawberries and fruit trees. Does best in moderate to cooler humid conditions but will tolerate warmer temperatures.

Galendromus occidentalis (ox ci dent tal us) Excellent for mite control on fruit trees, grapes and corn in California's hot inland valleys. Tolerates high temperatures and low humidity. Predominantly female 3 to 1.

Galendromus helveolus (hel ev o lus) Use as a general predator in warm humid climates. Good in the Southern California avocado groves attacking Six Spotted Mite, Avocado Brown Mite and the Persea Mite.

Amblyseius andersoni (an der so nee) This is a new predator on the market that shows promise in temperate climates attacking fruit tree Red Spider Mites Panonychus ulmi on apple and pear trees. Also feeds on Bud Mites and Rust Mites.

Galendromus pyri (pie ree) Feeds on many spider mites including European Red Mite. Does well in apple orchards in the northeast. More likely to overwinter as mated females that emerge in the Spring.

like i just said on another thread as mentioned on here aswell you can use lady bugs... get yourself some safer insecticide soap and some neem oil. spray the plants with the insecticide rinse and spray the neem oil mixed with a little dish detergent to prevent your plants from further damage... this can be done anytime during flowering/vegging when the eggs hatch 5 days later do it again... mist 7-8 time a day and lower the temps a little(if you use cfls turn some off) and you should be good.. you can also use a 1/2cup milk and flower per gal and coat your plants

You will fail miserably. I hate to say it but I'd put money on it.

The reason it will fail miserably is nothing natural is 100% and you can dunk and spray and wash every leaf by hand at the perfect intervals but there are still going to be mites all over hidden in various places in your home or coming back from scouting missions or coming out of hibernation. (yes, they hibernate)

I strongly advise you cut straight to the chemicals, what you want is floramite sc and you can get small bottles of it from a few ebay sellers online for as low as $15.
Floramite works, is systemic and long acting and kills eggs and any mite that even tries to touch your plants for 3 weeks from application.


You can only do it while in veg, same with a lot of things. You will not be able to dunk or even spray water after they're in flower and that's the time when they'll go from nothing to millions before you even have a chance to finish the grow. You know it will take 2 months (or so) to flower, and the mites will take advantage of it, trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

All natural is fine, when appropriate. Maybe your next grow will be mite free and can be fully organic. This one can't, you have too much of a problem already.

c02 to kill them sounds nice, but once you see them on your plants they are also in your walls and under the house and in the attic and wherever else they decided to explore. Kind of like ants, they really do a lot of recon.
