einstein oil? anyone use it

I got a spider mite problem and got the stuff anyone use it yet?

yes i have it and ive used it many times, it works great. just make sure to shake it really good and add it to warm water with a few drops of dish soap and/or rubbing alcohol. you can also add some hydrogen peroxide too. shake while your using it and make sure all surfaces of the leaves (top and bottom) get soaked. if you have something that sprays with a bit of pressure like a spray wand, use it beacuse it will help knock off mites. you can altrnate between the oil and something else like pyrethrum spray so the mites dont get immune. make sure you spray the plants right before lights out and after a day of light spray them down again with fresh water to rinse them off. make sure you do at least 3 treatments within a week to make sure if any new mites hatch they are killed.

do not use any type of sprays during flowering!!

also use your hands, you can take a cotton ball and dip it in some neem oil/ warm water and just wipe the mites off the bottom of each leaf. it might take a long time but it must be done if you want good buds.

any other questions just ask.

well im less than a week into flowering and noticed some webs and after inspection found some mites..someone told me to wash down the plants and spray them and it will atleast keep the mites at bay but not make them go away

you just switched the light cycle? or your plants just started showing sex?

either way i would say do a good 3 treatments this week and see how things go. that should be enough to let you finish flowering without too much problems

I have been using Neem Oil for a couple of years. It works great as far as flowering problems I have used it up to the last few weeks not any closer to three at the end. You will want to take control NOW if youu what or ignore the problem they will destroy the final crop they love the sweet nector later and you'll end up with a web of bud . Do as directed above and do it NOW It wont hurt as long as you have 2-3 weeks to go

also you can spray with other stuff like garlic and soap the next week and that should take care of them. the bugs hate garlic, citrus, soap, tobacco, even hot sauce.

ok my mom said try washing them in the tub and use the neem oil on them

how big are they?

well i have 4 3 are about 2 1/2 feet the fourth is about 4

thats gonna be a bitch. do you have something to spray them?

So im getting a warm bath ready and using some dishwasher soap instead of normal dish soap...then i was going to rinse them with clean water and use some einstein oil on them...i also plan on changing out the soil

sounds good just go easy on the soap. i would really try to get some other kind, like hand soap or something. what are you useing to spray? just a normal spray bottle?

well my mom works for city forestry here and she knows plants pretty well and she said mild dishwasher soap is better because it doesnt bubble and get into the pores as much? yes just a normal spray bottle...i gave the biggest one a bath then a shower to rinse everything off and then i rinsed out the roots and switched pots and put in some new soil...its not drying under the lamp and im going to spray it down with the oil...it looks like i got most of them

sounds good, but when you spray them down with neem dont put them under the light it will burn the plants.

phew thanks for tellin me
