I'm not trying to talk you into using bad Chems . Don't decide based on my answers. I have tried a lot of things in my time to stay away from bugs but with grow shops on every corner now widespread bugs are everywhere . Prevention is best but not always possible when a lot of bugs can over winter in a bag of soil bought from a store for a long time , not to mention that almost all bags of soil and coco sit outside somewhere for various amounts of time so good luck never getting anything. Organic sprays and what not are great for prevention but once you have several adults on one leaf you are pretty much past the point of organic means . You are growing indoors with perfect living parameters and plenty of food for most mites and pests with absolutely zero things that eat those pests. Once you spray any chemical bug sprays you cannot introduce beneficial mites or ladybugs as they will die fast :) so hope you can get it knocked out fast. Just spray them every other day for a couple of weeks potters and all. Then after that once a week forever until flower . Should keep them gone .

Yeah I went away for a week to take the girls to see the mouse and thought they would be ok and it was just a perfect storm brewing, I wasn't able to keep tabs on my A/C via the nest app because some update BS, the record highs (of course), and they hit a growth spurt and started drinking more. FML. I was about to just trash the whole grow. LOL...........

Been a hell of a veg cycle so far :wall:

This year was my first summer grow in my new grow rooms (2 years old) and of course it was during the hottest damn summer weve had in the Midwest in a friggin decade. It was enough to reconsider doing any more summer grows haha. Temps and humidity were off the charts and my electric bill suffered for it as well.

I was up at over 70% at times with AC and dehu running. The dehu running meant more ac usage. It was just a wicked game of "chase your tail" that I wont be playing again until I can get my room dialed in for those kinds of elements.

I am going to a bigger flower space and re-arranging some things with the hopes that I can just skip growing in the summer period from next year on. Not worth the hassles to me thus far................

^^^Thats one of a cpl ways to avoid the summer grow without hurting your stash levels. Bigger room with bigger yields, or a perpetual grow. I've decided to try my hand at a perpetual in hopes of clearing an extra grow so I can shut down during summer months.
Flood n drain tables staggered 4 weeks apart. Yield 5 plants every 4 weeks or so with literally no veg times. Constant supply of clones from a momma in the veg room.

Well I'm going perpetual with a bigger room :bigjoint:

And we are on the same path I want to do monthly harvest as well. Except for the time being no moms and I am just about to start the clone game when these girls go to flower.

However I am going to try my hand at a DIY RDWC after this run in coco and DTW. I'm going for (4) plants in each cycle with 4 site DWC plus a res. It will be circulating and bulbbled. :hump: I'm hoping this + led's = winning as a grower lol.............
