I found that showers including the underside of the leaves knocks of 95% of them off, and if you do a shower every 3 days or so the mites don't live long enough to reproduce. Cover the soil so the mites wash away rather than landing in dirt and climbing back up. No pesticides required. If you have mites, regular showers will check them, and eventually maybe even get the best of them.
long time ago i had some problems with spidermites. I tried sprays but that could only lower the population and was not possible in flower. So i tried the shower and maybe a little soap. It is the most practical solution i know you can keep the population low enough and the damage they do is really not that bad.

Sounds like a great method!

I’m dealing with spider mites now. Continuously tell wifey, “don’t bring outside plants in.” What does she do…buy & bring plants in smh
Maybe consider a new plant isolation area? (Just a thought.)
what can also help is increase humidy up to 90%
Typically this can cause other problems in the growing environment.
@@DeBaccoUniversity certainly not alone. A fan that circulates the air would help counteract the risk of mold.
I use a mix of soap/cannola oil...
Many different products can be used, key is to identify them early and do your best to prevent potential issues.
I got black fly spider mite things bloody flying ✈
Many challenges to growing.
These are fxxkers mate, I got a problem now but using sticky pads and tapes seems to be working OK 👌
Hope this works for you.
