I just start grow two weeks ago and I just found out 5 of my plants has spider mites so I brought some mite-rid. My question is do I spray all the plants or just the 5 and do I need to turn off the light for a couple hours after the spray?
Spray all plants and you might want to wash down everything with a bleach and water solution,Spray before lights go off or buy a green bulb so you can work when lights are off. Peace out, I hope this helps.
I would suggest to spray them all because mites multiply quickly. If you are just going to spray the 5 plants that was infested, you might not be able to get rid of the eggs. Mites lay eggs after they mature in about two weeks after hatching.
Thanks for all the reply. I sprayed all with mite rid mix with water and check them 6 hours later and I still see 2 spider mites still alive moving around so use some 50% alochol without water and rub it. I think its all gone for now. Will those spider mites come back any time soon? I might try mite rid one more time to see if it work at all. If it doesn't which one is better Mightywash or sns217?
I'v had 100% success with MW & you can use well into flower. You need to use on all plants, not just the ones you "see" them on, then spray one more time a week or two later, for larve or any new hatches.
I use anytime I bring a outside clone into my grow as a miticide.
hope this helps..goodluck
mighty wash is great! i used it twice and both times i could litterally watch them dirty bastards fall off the plant. i hope everything works out for ya!
