How I got rid of my spider mites...

I DID THE UNTHINKABLE AND GOT RID OF SPIDERMITES FROM MY PLANTS AND THEY HAVE BEEN GONE FOR OVER A MONTH!!! I'm not lying I just wanted to share how I got rid of them. If you have a separate grow room I would suggest moving them to an isolated room (10'x10' should work) and then bomb the room with a Hot Shot Fogger. Spray them down for the next month with Neem Oil daily. If you have a kitchen sink with a sprayer available give them a good shower with the sprayer daily before applying the neem oil. After about a month of this the mites should be gone. Mine were... Here is a picture of the spider mites I had.

I haven't seen these ugly little bastards for over a month now and I haven't been doing anything but watering them and keeping a close eye on them to see if they did actually go away and they have so far. Hope this helps someone out there that has this.

Or you could save your plants all the chemicals and go buy a tub of lady bugs for 8 bucks. They seem to have completely eradicated my mite problem! (knock on wood)

I didn't have access to lady bugs :D It usually takes them some time to establish a colony before they can eliminate your mite problem, but yes that works also :D

If I have a clone, that has a leaf that had spider mite problems it appears should I cut this leaf off even if its a small clone with maybe 5 leaves total?

soLit - go buy AzaMax, no need to chop the leaves. Not to mention eggs could be elsewhere, i.e. the soil/other leaves
Also, lady bugs didn't live for more than 6 hours in my grow room, on two separate occasions, not sure why. I use AzaMax. 1 TBS/Per Half Gallon of Water for 10 plants, every 3 days.

This is what worked for me for those of you who are still looking to get rid of them completely without having to spray forever. It helped me and I just hope it helps others also. This method has been tested with great success for me.
