Spider mites

I found out that my bug problem is spider mites. I hear that these are hard to get rid of. I got smoggers for this but I don't know how fast this will work. How bad is this for my Plants

mate a fogger will kill them but may harm/shock your plant's. Get out in to the brush and find some lady bird's, they are all over dead bracken at the moment..

Or buy some spinosad this will have them, its a folar spray and it wont harm your plants.

I tried 20 different ways to get rid of mine and none worked then i went to my hydroponic store and bought some spider mite be gone spray or spider bomb or some shit like that and it crushed them in 1 week of spraying. Catch it quick(i didnt) and i literally had thousands of them over 8 plants there was prolly 2 thousand on each plant no joke. Get some spray and get them quick. But remember THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. SPRAY RIGHT BEFORE YOU TURN LIGHTS OUT if you spray and leave lights on it will burn your plants and your leaves and whole plant are dead lol. I know know what your light cycle is but even if its 18/6 or 20/4 just spray right before you turn your lights out. The spray cost like 10 bucks

Neem oil works and is good for your plants. Depending on where those bastereds came form they might have a ammunity to some products. I would get like two or three products and go to town on those SOB's. Good luck.

Just don't do any foggers or chemical spray when your ladies are in flower, unless you want to be smoking chems.
I would suggest wiping down your leaves with a sponge, dip the sponge in a neem oil water mix. Do this every day until needed. Or you know what I have tried this and it's 100% effective garaunteed. Buy a No Pest strip that shit works for sure, But it is chemical vapors but hey it works.

Quickest way is to order 1500 ladybugs and set the box in your grow room. They'll stay there till there's nothing to eat. Now if your just starting to get mites.....if your in grow....take some liquid ivory soap, maybe 2tsp per pint and spray them on your plants everty other day. After a week i rinse or rinse at watering. Make sure you raise your lights and water them first. Now if your into flowering it depends on how far into it and how bad are the mites. I don't really like to spay shit on my stuff. So i'd take the time and get my spay bottle of water rub every leaf. Their mostly on the underleaves. Get rid of all webs, now if your that far you have webs. Then i would go buy the ladybugs.

Hot Shots No Pest Strip will take care of them in 4 days TOPS! And thats only cuz you'll be waiting the first 3 days for any eggs that are there to hatch.

IMO, this is the absolute best advice any 1 grower can give to another to deal with a spider mite issue! HANDS DOWN!
