I inspect leaves regularly in search of pests. My usual pest of choice is the Two-Spotted Spider Mite (non-pest resistant/ borg). After I take any form of pest management effort, I ‘scope leaves again looking for results.
Herein lies the rub. I’m uncertain what the hoped for egg & mite carnage looks like. Do the eggs remain, but are no longer viable? Are they essentially washed or dissolved away?
On a previous grow, I saw some eggs, sprayed Neem oil solution & could find no more eggs.
On current grow, I keep seeing eggs, but have never seen an actual mite. Scoped regularly for last 5 weeks or so on the autoflowers.
Please, hoping for feedback from farmers with first-hand experience.
I don’t have a camera attachment for my microscope unfortunately.
