I use just neem oil to try and keep the spider mitess at bay. Ive only seen two mites since they been outside. I only use it two days skipping a day saturating the plant then not again until i notice webbing or mites again. Is this a good technique or bad?

Spider mites are pretty sneaky, and unless you remove all the leaves with any amount of damage on them, it's gonna be hard to tell if they're really gone. Whatever you treat them with, do it every 3-4 days for at least 2 weeks, regardless if you still see them or not.

I have just gone through a spidermite infestation on every plant in my grow area, including house plants.

It took 3 treatments with citric acid to fully eliminate them from everywhere.

I ended up trashing some plants and severely pruning some during the process.

Good luck

Ugh, they're so annoying! I'm currently dealing with an infestation that started on a house plant purchased from Home Depot.... They don't seem to care for our other house plants but they love the weed. I just took a bunch of clones that I thoroughly inspected and cleaned, hoping I can get a fresh start that way

It's crazy but I've found this simple hack, keeps those bastards away. Water and peppermint oil... Room smells good and the mites are gone. Be careful with the dilution

Here’s a very good recipe, use only in veg……..

1 cup peppermint oil (Dr. Woods for both oils)
1 cup tea tree oil
1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup 70% rubbing alcohol
2 quarts warm water

shake very well, spray the shit out of everything, including top of pots. This works very well.

Thats doesn't seem like a good idea. You should get rid of the problem completely. I like to use Eliminator by holi moli and it gets rid of them instantly.

Holy shit, 2 cups of essential oils?
Im pretty sure that using two entire cups of essential oils in 2 quarts of water would burn the shit out of your plants.
