"THE BORG"

This is a Blog Post I was hoping I would never have to write about! After all the precautions taken ,we've been invaded by Spider Mites .Some call this terrible force of nature "The BORG". Which I believe is fitting! These nasty little critters are so small you can hardly see them with the naked eye! Once you see the first sign of infestation in your indoor garden it's time to act fast!!!!

Indoor hydroponic gardening is usually easier to control or prevent infestations, but it does happen to the best of us! Once you see one of these guys or there webbing you can bet you got trouble!

After you realize you have visitors it's time to show them the door!!!!! 

If you have webbing on your plants you know the situation is bad ,and will take several treatments to rid this "EVIL"!!!!!First off we will kill off every single mite we can see with one of  several different  products.

 There are approx. 1,200 different kinds of mites . Natures mite control is done by lady bugs,but if we don't have an army of lady bugs we'll have to use other methods.

 Mighty wash can be found mostly anywhere hydroponic supplies are sold. Be sure to use this product right before lights out to help protect from leaf burn!

SM-90 works very well ,and smells great. Mix 5-1 with water

and be sure when using these products that you apply on and under all your leafs. Repeat every 5-7 days to assure all mites are destroyed ,and none are hatching from eggs. When your convinced their gone treat again! Wash your grow room area with a bleach solution then repeat a week later.SM-90 added to your solution is good for your roots ,and good mite prevention. Don't forget to leave outdoor plants outdoors ,and keep your grow room clean!!!!

*IMPORTANT UPDATE*

Introducing "Smite" 

SPIDER MITE MITICIDE

Extremely effective and kills naturally on contact!

Smite contains oils produced by cold-pressed extraction of naturally grown Geranium,Peppermint, Cottonseed, and Rosemary. Under warm conditions ,Smite will naturally degrade in 5-7 days leaving minimal residue! Smite kills on contact by blocking the breathing holes, resulting in death by suffocation.It also causes reproductive disruption among female spider mites not initially contacted by the spray. This leads to infertility, eggs that don't hatch or mites that do not develop to an adult stage.Get yours HERE!
