when dealing with mites, it's important to be diligent. spray daily and never turn your back on the little fuckers. ph of tap water should be o.k.

I hate to say i told you so Rocky but I've dealt with mites for years and the bastards are sneaky. If they are in the room they are on the plants. That is a given and trust me when I say this. They can move faster than one thinks.lol I've dealt with just about every known pest in my area at one time or another. Mites, thrips, fungus gnats, crickets and I've even had a few fleas once somehow.lol The hardest to rid my plants of without using s good poison were the mites. You need to remove the plants when possible and clean the entire room. Like alien porn said..go to the drug store/supermarket and get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and apply it as alien said to. I don't use it myself.

Until I ran out it was Mite-rid up until the 3 week of flower. Strong streams of straight RO water from a sprayer if after that. I also increase my humidity to extremely high levels. The idea is to "not get" them. I know it's easier said than done. I've fought these things from hell to high water! Once I harvested I cleaned the entire room with a bleach/water solution three times before I put any "new" plants in. I also started over completely with seed to assure that no mites were hiding on any clones. Believe it or not the easiest and most common way to get mites is to accept clones from another grower. It's how I got them the first time.

Here's an important tip:
Water and electricity do not play nice together. Get your electrical strip up off the floor. At the very least, put it on top of a box or something.

Ya I already did that the other day. I have swept out the floor & sprayed the plants & walls with the solution alien told me about hydroproxide, alcohol, & dish soap, water.
By the way Alien I have been spraying the roots with hydroproxide & water with the numbers you gave me twice a day. Once when lights come on & once when lights go off. The plants are looking very good & as of today I could not find any mites. I looked under all fan leaves nods etc. Since that root spray a few days ago I started to use the plants have grown quite abit. Buds are starting to look good. Before I started spraying the roots my buds did not look like they do now. They look more noticeable I don't know how to explain it but I can tell it helps for sure.

By the way, the picture shown above showing my plants from about a week ago. However my plants now are atleast twice that size now & have lots of branching. They look much better now than the picture shown.

cleanliness is next to godliness. even though you don't see any more mites , keep on the spray as they will return the second you let your guard down.

Will the spraying effect my overall yield? Potency? Etc...

When should I be adding my B-52 bud booster? Week 3-4?

getting rid of mites and any plant pathogens will definately increase your yield. thc production is dependent on other factors :such as; lumens , elevation , uv, certain biostimulators...

My strain is Sour Diesal. Do you know if its an indica strain or satilva or abit of both?

sour d is a hybrid . it was originally more toward the sativa end and a bit wispy . i think it came from soma. rezdog then reworked it for yield and now it's more nugular. so it depends whether you have soma lines or rezdog lines. soma tending to be more sativa.

The video fades in and out abit because of the 1000 watt lights. The leaves have a very nice green color to them. They sure turned around pretty good so far. My fingers are crossed in hopes of a great yield & no more darn mites.

I also added 50ml of 35% hydrogen peroxide to my res. I am also spraying the exposed roots twice daily with 75ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide & 380ml of water. The plants are looking very good. Its hard to believe that when I got these clones a few weeks ago they did not look that great. But now to see them much larger & lots of branching. I actually have 15 plants going as the other 4 were not doing well so I pulled them. Now I just hope for a strong heavy yield.
