I have 6 different strains in week 6 of flower and my TGA vortex is just infested with mites.
live checked and I don't see any mites on the other plants? I just drenched every inch of my entire room and everything near my room with mighty wash. I've also got a full tank of co2 and I just read on another forum that u can just crack a tank open and quickly exit the room and it will kill the mites? But Im pretty sure it can kill me to? It's only a 20# tank. Help

I've heard the "open the tank" thing too, but, with further research, i have seen many people on forums say it is not very effective.

Keeping your temperature and humidity as low as possible helps slow them down.

I've used liquid lady bug. its ok. Bomb your room with a food grade pyrethrum bomb. Turn everything off and let you room sit for 24 hours, no lights, and no fans. Repeat with a second bomb 2 day later.

Try cold pressed neem oil, you can spray it on the plant itself just make shure youa spray the top and bottom of the leave, you can also water the plant with it, the roots will suck up the neem oil and stay inside the plant for a couple weeks.

the co2 thing doesn't work, and can fuck your plants up. Use MIGHTY WASH it just plain kills the shit out of mights the day after you use it and it won't hurt your plants.

Yeah I drenched them 3 days in a row and I see no signs of life anywhere so ill continue to us my mighty wash:|
 
I'm also growing some of the TGA subcool strains the vortex and the plushberry. The plush is frosty!!! Definatelt get that one!!! The mites love these strains. I had them pretty bad. Got some liquid lady bug, seemed weak, got some mighty wash , shit covered my plants in slime, seemed to suffocate the foliage. Then tried this stuff that Hydrofarm is selling called mighty bomb! Shit works! Got rid of my problem. Sprayed 3 times. No more blood sucking fucks! To be frank. Lol google hydrofarm mighty bomb and read about it. Did not smother my plants in oily crap. Lol
