My first Auto

The week started with the AC taking a dump,so I've been battling the temp the highest I've seen was 88F but staying in the low 80's during the day and night hasn't been a problem in the low to mid 70's. My 4 hours of lights out time is mid day so it hasn't been a big problem. This week I discovered a large spider mite infestation, so I started by defoliating all the shade leaves and most effected leaves. I disinfected the tent and the room with a vinegar and peroxide mix. I've never used predator mites before but thought I'd try them ,so I first got neoseiulus californicus and the next day got Phytoseiulus persimilis. I didn't know exactly what to do with them so I dumped the californicus in the soil,so then I have the idiot idea to sprinkle them all over the top for better coverage without thinking about all that saw dust getting stuck in the trichomes. I had to try and fix that disaster, so I mixed up EM-1 and water in a Chapin sprayer and started washing leaves buds and all. So I wasted those mites but provided a big knock down on the spider mites. Once I got them as clean as possible and dried out I added Phytoseiulus persimilis. It remains to be seen if they work or not but I dumped 2000 of them on plates at the plant base with the sawdust. I'm not big on spraying anything on my plants during flower but had to fix my mess. I have a product called Nuke-Em by flying skull they advertise you can use during flower but I haven't and only will if I still have spider mites in a week. They don't look too bad for all of the adversity. Until week 11 happy growing!
