Fungus is resilient but it can be beat. Sometimes it means enduring heavy losses. Sometimes it is necessary to treat the whole grow area, from floor to ceiling including root zone. It can be beat it is just a pain.

10% bleach solution for wiping down reflective surfaces over walls, neem and bi-carb mixed in solution, intervals of spraying at 5 days, putting a dehumidifier in the room won't hurt. For root zones treatments of beneficial fungi and bacteria should do some good.

Being proactive rather than reactive has a lot to do with it.

RULE #1 - --- - -- - no matter who you buy the fuckin clone from, bring the fucker ghome and keep it out of your fuckin grow area until you give it a good dousing of sns-217, damn good shit, kill the fuckin mites and the eggs the devils lay. made from all organic materials as well, only problem is the hefty pricetag, bout 70 usd for 32oz. or you can get a small 4oz spraybottle for bout 12 bucks, the shit is badass, i too learned the hardway about introducing foreign spider mites into my growroom from a clone.. lol and i really fucked up first off cuz i thought i would get rid of the fuckers with seven dust...big mistake, apparently they thrive when you apply seven dust lol, they multiply quicker, so i sprayed off the dust, let her dry, then sprayed sns-217 on the lil girl, mite free now and lovin it

I get clones from other clean grows.

I take my clones and dip them in neem oil and leave them under some floros out of my grow area for a few days before I move them in to my room.

Can never be to careful.

even if u have a clean grow and don't get clones from others you can get spider mites. I just got them, and have been cloning from the same mother awhile and haven't had clones in my grow in 6 months. I do however have glass block windows in the basement and they have been open the last two months. You can bring mites in from the streets every time you go outside.
