remedy against spider mites.
growbiestarted grow question 5 years ago
Some tips on a home remedy against mites? I've heard of water mixed with alcohol 9/1 that kills spider mites and doesn't hurt the plant, does anyone have any experience? thanks for the advice

Neem Oil Spray
1 tablespoon neem oil
2 cups of water
DIY Alcohol Spray
1 part isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol
2 part water
Soap killa
1 tablespoon of mild dish soap (like Dawn)
1 gallon of water
Rosemary Oil (not as effective as other methods)
1 part rosemary oil
2 parts water
Horticultural Oil(the safest method if you are in flower as it will basically be like you sprayed air, you get no residue at all)

Neem oil, mix 10 ml of neem oil with 1 liter of warm water and spray it everywhere on the plant. But do it at night, or when your lights are off ✌️ good luck 💪

No personal experience, but this will work. The alcohol evaporates, leaving no residue. Dont overdo it and make sure to get them all. You got this!

Spider mites are a bitch. Look up spinosad, it’s organic and kills on contact.

BUGS what are these? How did my plant get them? Where do they come from? How do I get rid of them? They have not been outside of the house: tent, garage, and tub only. The other plants do not show these, but I have separated them until I harvest just in case.Week 15

Fungus GnatsI've been battling a fungus gnat infestation for about 3 months now. Pretty sure they came from a bag of dirt I purchased online. I've tried DE and Monterey Garden Spray. Not sure what effect they are having on my grows, but they are annoying as hell.Other. Bugs
