New Crop

Okay so im working with a pretty nice setup, well alot better then my last setup of only 2 cfl's this time I have a 400 hps, 7 fl tubes and, 1 cfl working on getting 3 more soon. I have a fan blowing on about 12 different plants. I leave my lights 18-6. They are from around 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 months old and i have a spidermite infestation on all of my plants except one i have inside a bucket.
My oldest plant was left under a sink for 2 weeks in darkness and given to me but it seems to be growing nicely. I'll have pictures up in the next few days.

lady bugs, use lady bugs I get spidermites all the time lady bugs do the trick every time

I agree ladybugs. When I can't get ladybugs I put the pot into a trash bag and hold it tight around the base of the plant. Next off to the shower. Spray them down with soap and water mix. Let them sit for 15 minutes and repeat. The trash bag keeps all the bugs from falling in the soil when u rinse. Yep spray them down. Remember to getthe underside of the leaves. Now clean the grow room. I use bleach and water in a spray bottle. Clean everything. Keep an eye on them over the next week and repeat if needed. I keep the trash bag on for the week and check to make sure no mold or problems are going on in the pot but also I keepit on to not let any bugs that were in the dirt get to the clean plants.
Works for me.

I always wondered about soap and water, I've used it on rose bushes but never weed. good to know it works
