unfortunately i found spider mite in my crop a couple of weeks ago,
since then i have used a spray recommended from a friend. i only used this a couple of times as they are in flowering stage and dont want to affect my flowers. i brought some preditors, Phytoseiulus persimilis, i cant really say yet if they have worked or not. i dont want to sit back and wait to see if they have because by that time these little b*****d's will have an empire in my grow. yesterday i turned 1 of my 3 lights off and slowed down the air flow and the temp dropped to 65 and the humidity was around 80..
i misted them also from underneth but i didnt go to mad on it..
how long can these little b*****d's survive with high humidty. and lower temps.. i really dont wanna lose this crop cos i have 4 weeks left and these bad boys are looking FAT.. also its hard work getting in and around these beasts. i could get to the more affected area if i can move them out of the grow room but i no this could cause more problems moving them..
or shall i just ride it out and wait and see??
any views and pointers would be much appreciated..
cheers...
