Doktor Doom vs Spider Mites

Yes sadly I'm a victim of spider mites. I've tried SNS and mite rid. It seems to work for the moment but the next day they're back. I even tried the ol' kill em with co2 thing. No. I turned the regulator up as high as it will go for an hour. Maybe it killed some or all, but I don't think it affects any eggs that have been laid. SO.. I'm thinking of using this product. Now I have open reservoirs is concern one. Concern two is what is it going to do to my plants. The good news I just started flowering, day 3 of timer change. Does anyone have experience with using this product? I'd like to know if it works and if it harms plants and reservoirs..? Thanks in advance

DD works, but you have to use it before you get to far into flowering. After week one of flowering I wouldn't use anything with pryethium in it. Only use pyrethium products in veg.

But it will take more than this one application to rid or control those Spider Mites. So I'd use the fogger and after a few days try different products without pyrethium. I use multiple products even if there isn't spider mites. I hate them things so I am proactive and can spot them way before they colonize. During flowering I have succesfully used Hot Pepper Wax and Azatrol if there are any signs or even a feeling of spider mites. If I feel confident there isn't anything I use Zero Tolerance once a week. Zero Tolerance isn't any good if there is an infestation, it's not strong enough. I want to try Liquid Lady Bug and Rasta Bob's, they look good for all stages of plant growth.

It depends how bad your infestation is.

The very best product I have ever used to combat SM is Azatrol. What it does is screws up the SM growth hormones so they can not shed and they die at what ever stage their in. Spray every 3rd day x 3 and your done with 100% sureness. 100% organic and just the very best product I have ever used.

DD didn't rid me of my mites. I popped 2 of them in my room and it knocked them down for a week or so, but they returned. Just finished tearing everything down, sterilizing, and reassembly. 8 Raid foggers over the course of 3 days. Having to start from scratch, but they are gone. NOW for prevention.

Azatrol can be watered in for prevention.

I did add a systemic when I potted my clones. I won't add when I re-pot for flower, but I figured it would give me a little added protection. Idk how it will affect my myco, but only time will tell.

I didn't realize that GG13. Looks like I'm going to have to pick some up.

Whatever you use has to be done in succession. I had/still have SM, when i first saw them i hit them with an insecticidal soap. 5 days later i sprayed with mighty wash. 3days after that i sprayed with neem oil/protekt. 3 days after that i sprayed again with neem oil/protekt. 4 days after that i sprayed with SNS217/Rasta Bobs Death Mite (death mite is 3% instead of 2% rosemary). So far i havent seen them back, 5 days after the last application. You gotta hit them every 3-5 days to kill any that hatch that you didnt get before.

I fogged both veg and flower rooms yesterday. Today, still mites...... frustrated.. I am at a loss on what to do.. Keep spraying every day? Can't be good.. Fog again with 4 x's more foggers at once? Lady bugs? Co2 overdose? what the fuck I just started flowering I don't have time to start over and bleach the room. Think I'mma try lady bugs? only $15 online can't be any worse wasting money on all these pesticides and foggers that don't work. I've seriously been spraying EVERY day with mite rid, is that bad?

I'm telling you there is nothing that compares to Azatrol. Google it and find out why it works and how it works.

I've had mites a couple of times. Took me a while the first time to figure out the trick to getting rid of them. Second time was pretty easy. What I found was that I needed to keep treating for them long after I thought they were gone. In my experience (though I haven't tried every kind of treatment) nothing seems to kill the eggs. You'll think it's all clear and the eggs will hatch in a couple of days or a week and a half later, and it will start all over again. It's not so important what you use, it's how you use it. Do something every three days, and repeat it about five times - two weeks of treatment. Don't get lazy just because it seems all clear, and not get around to one of the treatments for five days. By then they could hatch and lay a whole new set of eggs.

Forbid 1/2 tsp to 1 gal If you live in Cali you will have to have someone from out of state get it for you. Spray once when you turn 12/12 and forget it. Since you have been only a week at 12/12 it will still be OK. Be sure to use a ventilator mask.

If you live in SD I have some.

8oz's for $289.99? FML
Maybe Azatrol, I just can't spend that without knowing its a sure thing.. I mean I've tried everything. I didn't see them today. I've been spraying 4 days straight plus to dr doom foggers. I'mma keep hitting them hard, every last one of them I see I'll keep spraying. I bought this bad ass sprayer that has a head with an extension so I can get excellent coverage top to bottom inside and out. I'm not lazy, this will be resolved. Thanks everyone for advice.

Floramite and/or avid
