I'm going to use this pyrethrum TR bomb today that I got from the local grow shop. I need to switch things up from the neem that the mites have probably developed a resistance to. I started seeing mite damage in the leaves yesterday. I usually dunk them in a 10 gal. garbage can full of the neem solution so I don't have to spray every single leaf down over and under. Considering I have a lot of plants, spraying and dunking just takes too much time. I wonder if I can get get a fog maching that will release the miticide, pesticide, or fungicide in the room. That would be great. I never used one of these bomb so please give me any tips or advice you might have before I do it.

I was looking to find out stuff like can keep circulation fans running? My circulation fan stays on constantly. The instructions on the can says to keep away from electrical appliances that cycle on and off. I don't think the fan would create an arc to spark the extremely flammable fog, but just wanted to make sure. I also figured the high velocity floor far would blow the fog around everywhere, cover more area, and keep air movement so there no mold growing. I know to shut of ventilation fans like intake and exhaust. How high from the canopy should I put the can? Someone please help if you have any experience or knowledge with this. Thanks :leaf:
