Fight nature with nature. Buy predatory mite eggs and release them in your garden they will eat all of the spider mites and then when there are none left they will eat eachother. !!!

Predatory mites are the way to go.. Mites have tendency to build immunities to all those sprays. Or even Preying mantis all which you can order online and have the eggs delivered to your house.

Yo BH,
Very astute natural answer. Preditory insects are the bomb. Using them, however, needs a little forethought.
I love lady bugs, I love mantices; I have not used preditory mites to date.
As I have warned before: "If one plans on using caliclean, clear your love bugs off first."
When most people look in on my articles or recipes, they are usually in trouble - as the infestation has taken hold. The average person is like: "Oh crap, My plants are full of holes and dying! What can I do?" By then, its almost too late.
The best medicine is always preventitive medicine. Lady bugs all the time (in season) is a great preventitive weapon, unless they die from lack of food. The same with mantices. You can deploy them, but if there are no mite or insects for prey, they will split or die. Conversely, if one has an infesation, its usually too late for the bugs to handle the burden alone, though they help afterwards in mopping up the reminants - if any.
I like lady bugs two weeks after the spray to keep the hatching eggs and baby mites down in numbers. The sad fact is: once a room has mites it is very difficult to completely rid the environment of mites. Its almost better to slash and burn and start again with pure stock. But who wants to kill full grown plants?
Its usually a matter of control once they come to visit. Only the diligent get rid of all of them, and the lady bugs do help afters.
Nice feedback! Thank you for your all natural approach.
My best,

Howdy BT!
True. Good advice! Lots.
However, if the leaves are wilting and the white spots and yellow edged leaves are all the way to the top, one needs to blast the majority into Hades, before the plant succums to the vampire sucking.
Thanks for that!
Peace

If the problem is that far advanced I would agree. I didn't read the entire thread so if that is the case I missed it.

Nice man, i have a couple books on constitutional law that i read a couple years ago...time for a refresh i think :]
again great info, i love learning new things! Ill definitely not spray at night, makes sense to me
I tried out the caliclean and it works great, i made an extra potent batch in which i left the remains of what was separated out and jarred it with 8ozs of the normal spray.. we will see if i need it this strong!
So far it is killing everything with no movement... i'm convinced!
This is definitely my new multipurpose spray ^_^

P.S I was referring to Issac Newton but many have rephrased the quote. I believe it's of Nordic lineage if you wanna go that far back, same message throughout.

Years of college online has given me a thick skin.
I ain't no quitter. And if I may be so bold... I shall quote an oldie: "Opinions are like buttholes, everyone's got one, and it often stinks."
One must always be willing to seperate the wheat from the chaff; try to be Zen, and let it flow dude.
We try.
Thank you for your support and courtesy cues!

Well done!!! Wonderful!!!
Yes, you have noticed that you control the delivery concentration. Is it not wonderful to have control, and feel empowered over your own situation!?
I like my CALICLEANER hot.
Yes E ripped the old phrase. But for a flunky patent clerk - having little to build on - I still think the 'stien did OK - though he might have botched gravity, the quantum, and unifying the 4 underlying forces. Steve H. has done a world of good with his black body radiation theroy and has a nice wit himself.
But... if you can tell me how quantum gravity unifies with EMR, and the weak and strong nuclear forces...please let me know. Giant Z Bosons my ass, more like folded spacetime bubbles inter-dimesionally. Now that's a quantum oragami package deal. Check out the last issue of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN October 2011 on the Warped Milky Way and Dark Matter Interference. Interesting theoretical gravitational candy.
You're on your way, and THANK YOU FOR THE ENDORSEMENT!!!!
Peace be with you always brother.
My very best,

cool thread dude!-
as i have a bit of experience with the mighty borg, i would like to chime in.
more than likely this is the missing ingredient in my "solution". i make ionized water, using the low ph side i then mix 5mL lemon juice, and about 1.5 mL dishsoap(for viscosity amendment) per gallon. it works well. it makes the mites explode. literally. it also kills the majority of eggs, turning them a milky white color.
i don't use hoods, so the bit of uv does burn the plants if applied under full power. mimicking a rainy day as suggested is what i do as well. the combination of the low ph water and reduced light cycle have a secret added benefit as well.
i can see where the added benefit of the pepper oils disruption of feeding would make my potion much stronger.

Monsterly good post! Love your Washington quote also.
True. I use a clove cinnimon soap solution also, to mix it up. I use the lemon soap solution ( or very much like it; PS, I use an anti-bacterial - as long as I am using a tiny amount of soap.) for powder mildew.
4 sprays with what you said, let dry, and a final wet spray and wipe, minding not to let it drip (as mildew can set up elsewhere).
A super addition to our all-natural posts.
I thank you for your excellent suggestion and recipe. Nice!!
May peace be with you always,
my best,

Have you ever used green lacewing larvae? I had a small mite problem that just wouldn't go away. Irritating as hell, numerous sprays and they kept on coming back. So I ordered 1000 lacewing eggs, took about a week to hatch em but when they hatched they were mite devouring monsters. Cleaned em out, all natural. I have since been more diligent with keeping a much cleaner environment. If I ever am blessed with mites again ill give this a shot. Thanks for the brew calibuzz.

oh im talking about the bug, soft scales (sets upon place, forms a shield around it and starts sucking(its a sucky sucker) (it shits sugar too, sticks everything together lol)
luckily its a slight infestation this time around and i aint buying that particular brand of soil again,definetly the culprit
interestingly, ive found this out about soft scales.. they will not cross the red leavesstems of some plants and the purple stems of yet another strain.
so possibly tying a red tape or something around the base of the stem, would hinder them conquering a plant in the future (might work on other critters too?) any thoughts on that? anyone?
i think im going to try your pepper spray to kill the younglings (the old ones you just scrape off, i have just about small enough of a grow to be able to do that)

i bought some peppers so that i can whip up some calicleaner later.
its a multi-process to make sure u kill them quickly and stop them from reproducing and what not.
so i let my bugs have it with an azamax spray session meanwhile i did that i cleaned the room real good and the next day i misted water to keep them moist,
today i bought a 1500 lady bug pack,though a lot are dead inside the cup wth!! there was still a lot though..so they are eating bugs that i prolly cant see..
id like to see some other mite eaters in there to

No Sir!
Thank you for your product advocation. However, you sound like a spokesperson for MIGHTY WASH. Almost sounds like you work for them.
No again Sir!. Though Mighty Wash may work for some, I have used a Mighty Wash solution and find the results inferior to CALICLEANER.
Excuse me please, but in my most harsh rebuttal to date Sir:
Screw the wait.
Screw the cost.
Screw the product.
Screw the results.
There it is. In my opinion. However, please do what you want with your crop Sir.
I do not wish to dis you Sir, but when you make a statement like that, I must rebut!
Dude! Been there done that. I personally would remark on he flaccid sanguineous mighty wash in another post area please. Expensive and mediocre - thank you Sir.
With the greatest respect and experience in reply,
peace
