The bottom line is: Neem doesn't eradicate spider mites. At best it controls them. .

This site by %, is new growers. I'd guess ++80% have 0-3 runs in, total. And if you don't count "I have three CFLs in a box my footstool came in, in my closet" as a "grow" it's even less. Which is fine, but I agree, probably best they hold off on the advice. I see "I'm pretty new at this but...

It's about $100/half liter. Stored refrigerated, lasts years. But since you only need a few ml for a tent sized treatment I've heard it can be bought on sites like eBay where people have broken it down to smaller amounts. It works, unlike most things, is why I'm so pro-it. .

To. Eradicate. Mites: FLORAMITE SC. A systemic. The. End.

Neem isn't systemic, it's a topical. And you just controlled the mites, not eradicated them. Meaning: When eggs hatch, shortly, you'll be back to Ground Zero again.

No, neem isn't systemic.

Um...

Spider mites can't live outdoors. In 14 days or so they'll all be . dead

The Birth & Evolution Of A Dragon Defoliation, isn't a very good idea. And to that level? That reduces yield significantly. I've never defoliated a plant the way I see people doing it hereabouts, and I never will. Removing lowers, before flower, that'll never mature is a good idea. Those...

Thanks! . Ah, you get used to the "70 count" thing. Seriously. .8ec (560ppm) is about as low as you normally get, so .9/630 to 1.7/1190 (max) is really the whole spectrum. And really, once you've measured your nutrients in schedule a few times you'll know what the ec is naturally without...

EZ EC 101: North American Standard EC: Each .1 is = 70ppm i.e. 1.2ec = 840ppm European Standard EC: Each .1 = 50ppm i.e. 1.2ec = 600ppm The higher the ec, the stronger the food.
