    Only ever had them once on my first ever grow too, they came with cuttings I had got from a mate...After the grow was down I sprayed the whole room and all the equipment 200ml bleach per litre water then a proper good rinse and i've not seen any since then...Sounds like you have done a good job on the deep clean so fingers crossed your room and equipment should be mite free now...


    Regards BL

    Not every body's cup of tea but I run with hot shot no pest strips until flower ...100% issue free ,the thrips I had 2 years ago were the first and last issue I've ever had

    Why are the hot shot no pest strips frowned on Sad?..I mean the chemicals aren't being sprayed onto the plants so I can't see why it would be a bad thing unless they have a horrible scent that could be absorbed by the plants or something?

    Hmm ok so more to it that meets the eye then.

    I'm having some VERY good results with predator mites/insects right now Sad..I know probably not down your alley but seems to be working much better than I expected!

    Read up well before making the choice ,also eating processed meat ie. bacon and sausages raises levels of cancer so I'm told ...spider mites on your groom ...as they say move house ..or buy a hotshot ..I'm not organic or arsed ...spider mites in my entire grow history ain't happened ..7 years ish ...they kill fucking everything that walks or crawls..I take em out when I flip plants ...as I've said before folk shit there pants with the contents until you look into the half life of it ....I wouldn't grow with out em...now that controversial
