I've been battling with spider mites now for a week or so. I've now notice some spider mite eggs under the lower leaves. i instantly spray with a insecticide. do i have to do anything to the eggs to make sure they dont hatch?

Its recommended you use a rag or paper towel soaked in neem oil and wipe down each leaf, one at a time. Be thorough. Watch using insecticide, harmless to humans doesn't necessarily mean harmless to humans if smoked and consumed. Spend a good amount of time and a strong attention to detail when wiping down the plant. If you catch it soon, this could be the only step you have to take to annihilate those mother fuckers. Usually, mites are a sign of a dirty grow environment. If this is the case, clean the place up! Hygine is a huge part of growing. Sorry for the lecture but I want to see ya out of this! I really hate those stickin mites!

FLORAMITE...

not sure if you've gotten rid of everything yet, but probably not... i had a big problem with spidermites this go round and i fought them for 3 weeks with no success before i finally gave up and got floramite... i sprayed once, everything died and have seen no signs of the borg since... i cannot recomend this product highly enough, it saved my crop for sure... do not use this product after week 3 of flowering...

thanks for the info. i dont mind a lecture when its needed. it was definatly needed. its not that the grow was dirty. the problem was that i got a couple clones from other growers and put them in with out really looking for mites. dumb me.

i just went and bought some. do i have to wait a certain amount of time before i switch to flower? wash the leaves with water after mites are dead?
