Haha! I haven't been sure I was making pot plants or a spider mite nursery. The only thing that's saved me has been large outdoor summer grows. It's great to get some tips, because my strategy of simply making as many as possible and harvesting what survives is not the most effective, and puts me at risk because I have to go above legal limits for flowering plants even though I'm not harvesting above legal limits, if that makes sense. I don't think they give clemency simple because I'm a crappy grower who is reduced to wiping mites off the end of my flowers, which is when they seem to gather to feast. I'm very interested in the predatory mites and grateful I got on the forum.Exactly! I live in a tropical area of the US a few miles from the world's largest swamp and my bugs must be super tough because nothing seemed to kill them and most of the solutions offered were bottles of water with a few drops of garlic or rosemary oil which apparently my mites found delicious aaahh!!
