So I have a strange question. Am working on my second grow and the clones I got came with spidermites sadly. Been spraying with Mighty wash and now I cant find any mites or eggs on the leaves. But I just notices some white spots in the soil and I saw eggs and mites moving around in the soil as if the eggs fell down and hatched. Just sprayed again and will know more about that tomarrow. My question is, is it normal for mite eggs to fall after spraying with mighty wash and then to hatch in the soil? I know I am a total noob but i have allways been bad at growing things and right now my plants are looking great. Want to get this under control asap. Thanks!

I use it, hadn't noticed myself but in the process the soil should get a little spraying, if not just spray the soil a bit I'd say, its not like you'd have to water with it but that probably would work too .

tonite I used azamax in watering. saw a flying bug of some type and I get paranoid when I see them. I'm spraying with azamax, root drench with azamax and spraying mighty wash (not all at once but just because its easier than looking for the little bastards).

I can attest to killing the eggs part, and the mites, I stay away from poison if I can but azamax I've been using , I'm 4 days in now and may do one more watering with azamax just because it's suppose to deal with several pests where mighty wash is specialty , mites only I believe.

i bought the FOX FARM dont bug me dude at the shop made me laugh when he siad it was strong i make my own mixs but i can seem to find a pyrethrins concentrate locally so i just bough that stuf mites go though cycles build immunities though the generation and lose others. neem oil tricanzol or whatthe T word for poison is and pyretins applide in a cycle i know i will kill all mites for a good long time. as far as mightywash goes i believe that shit works 100% my research with that frequencey water leads me to believe i just didnt buy it cause my local hydro store doesn't carry it

Just finished checking the soil, and some of the affected leaves from the spray 2 days ago and I cant find any more moving mites at the moment. Gonna go ahead and stay on plan and make my light switch tomarrow. Thanks all for the advice, gonna go back and +rep for the help right now!

I think I am just going to continue hitting the leaves and soil every 3 days till this grow finishes out. I really hate mites!

You just have to spray for a few weeks. I like dunking into a murphys oil soap solution its just as fast as spraying and covers everything 1/2 cup to five gallons of water. hot shot no pest strips work great if its enclosedunnamed.jpg
