I know its too late for you this time if your shit is hanging but next time you'll be ready, I was talking to my nephew about just wtf mites do when you chop and hang the plant, he said he watched them parade up the stalk , I guess they want to leave if you take their food source away. my guess is most of them die but they can become dormant for awhile.

that is a atomist, an atomizer . it does a very nice job of spraying, its worth its weight in gold.
Let me add if your grow area is small you might wanna look at a motor speed control so you can turn it down a bit, I use it full on anymore because I've learned how to use them, they're pretty harsh without turning the motor down a bit, you can't turn it down real far or it will quit spraying water and just blow air, I've found some wet betty added to the tank helps it spray at lower speeds, dunno what the warranty says about running it with a speed controller but I've done it with no adverse affects.
