Well they aren't spider mites but yes chickens can have mite problems. Generally they just give themselves a dust bath for chicken mites but one of my ladies has scaley leg mites which take a bit of treatment. Really annoying as I was about to add to my flock and now I have to wait till my current ladies are better.

Do you ever get paranoid being surrounded by all these women? Like the female species is secretly and slowly taking over?
Also, what does your wife think? You haven't even been married that long and you seem to be spending a lot of time with other ladies.
Just don't be surprised if she gets jealous man!

It was my wife's idea that "we" make the chicken coop and that "we" get and take care of them. Turns out I made the chicken coop and care for them but as long as I give her credit she's thrilled to have them. We both grew up far from farms so bragging to our stuck up wealthy friends that we have chickens in the back yard makes it well worth it to her. But yes...I do worry about women taking over the world. I grew up surrounded by them and I can't seem to shake it. At least the cat and rabbit are boys.

Agreed! I definitely think rotating products is key and I've become lazy so it's more of a shame on me that I have mites than a shame on them. I looked up that product and its active ingredients are all natural herb oils which I have a feeling I have lying around the house. Might have to mix up my own batch and see if it does anything.
I was pretty damn sure it would me an all me project from the start so I'm still happy with it all regardless. However it would be nice if she didn't complain about the time I spend taking care of "our" pets. hehe - all part of the package.

yes it is a bunch of oils, its thick like olive oil, adn a couple (2-3) tbs per gallon is all ta need, i bought a quart for 30 buckaroos, and i still have over half of it 6 months later it works great, but is very potent stuff and will burn ya leaves if used too concentrated , and i can smell the cinnamon oil in it too..
i was usint this stuff till they stopped makin it, then i switched to the ridbugs, my bro still has 1/2 gallon tho purespray green HORT. oil

So it looks like I'm going to be pulling the plug on this one.
This is how I found them today when I arrived -
The over watering looks bad but the mite damage is worse. The tops are still green and the buds are mostly mite free but the bottom third or more of these plants are just trashed.
Couple hours post watering and they perked up. I removed a large amount of each plant along with some of the smaller ones completely. I am going to turn off all side lighting and lower the HID to 400w to drop temps. Tomorrow morning I'll hit them real hard with pyrethrin and then let go one more week. If the tops looks salvageable for hash then I'll let them go otherwise they get the plug pulled. Shame as they smell amazing.
