i have a huge huge huge problem ive been fighting these darn creatures since day one n they dont seem to go away, like there getting immune to the stuff i spray on them.
im in the fourth week of flower with 72 plants, 6000w and i cant afford to lose my first big grow. i need the gardens cure. ive been bombing with pyrethrin if thats how u spell it n the bomb helps but these bastards multiply even faster. please someone out there knows something that i can do. if i can still spray them down with insecticide without harming the out come than please tell me so.

I mostly go with neem or soap sprays.

ive got a big ass bottle of that stuff man im about to cry. ive never had this much spidermites or even seen this much before in my life. theyre making webs on the tops of my buds already and there on my fans, water hose, etc. i was thinking if i can just wash them through the shower head once a week and keep fogging the them place with pest strips. but i dont know if i can wash them down once a week at 4th 5th 6th week of flowering

I'm not sure about the spray that far into flowering.

I just recently used some ladybugs to get rid of my thrips for good. I believe they work well on mites too. I bought a pack of 300, they stay good in the fridge for 2 weeks+. They come fed and ready to lay eggs. I would release those babies on your grow and let them go to town. By a pack of 1500 or more (not sure how big your grow is)

Some people swear by them and some people say they are a waste of money, but the HotShot No-Pest strips have been mentioned in a lot of spider mite discussions, and for 5.99 and available almost anywhere, worth a shot IMO.

Edit, I should have said, as an addition to other methods.
