Good luck with the cilantro.
I grow 'mostly' organic, but when it comes to mites I go right to the best chemical weapons available, FORBID and FLORAMITE.
Mites don't play and neither do I.

^^^ Me and the wife were just talking about the nico-spray and how it was a really cool old-school organic pesticide. I hear it does work, but probably smells like shit when it's boiling or steeping up depending on your method of preparation. (Edit: I wonder if some good pipe tobacco would smell good?)
If the one drop of dish soap is 'green' or 'organic' I think you'd be cool with the organic folks lol. =)

Another I have yet to try is nicotine spray...
Hey, and just as a thought...Dose using one drop of dish soap count as chemicals,,,?????????
I'd go with Neem oil before your suggestions, but the coriander route appeals to me. Who knows, it might work as well or better than commercial chemicals?
Good luck smoking chemicals, I'll pass.
I have neem oil. It seemed to act like a fertility drug with mites. LOL
I just use what's necessary and 90% of the time Safers soap or neem or BT gets the job done and all I need.
Mites just seem to be something else. I don't smoke it, after 10 weeks it's broken down and gone. I hit my clones just before 12/12 and that's it till chop. Nothing else gets applied in bud, chems or organic.
BTW, I used to be a licensed applicator and know a little about this stuff.

Yeah, but using a scent they can't tolerate gets rid of them quick and easy. Clean and simple. Companion planting seems ideal to me.
there is an organic product called Liquid Ladybug that has peppermint oil in it and works very effective. you spray it on the first, the fifth, and the tenth day....what nice about the product is that you can use it up all the way till harvest.
Azamax is all organic and works wonders…
what are the side effects of the spider mites
