I've been using azamax. With a drop of dawn dish soap. As long as I keep after them they slow down big time.
Sorry to see you get the plague, its brutal,
If youre gonna do the avid anyways why not have it be your first step since its the one thing you listed that actually slams their population, only thing on your list thats listed for these types of mites. Other product that shows efficacy is forbid 4f.
Use the big gun first so you dont waste a single day trying things. Then the rest to deal with the straglers. Floromite does nothing to broads and what it does for two spotted SM's avid will knock down first spray. (I think i read in your other thread you found a TSSM
Just my 2 cents, my buddies got no where with neem/aza products, in fact most spray with neem every 4-5days from early veg and still broads survived and took hold. Slow down.... Sure, solve the problem? No
Best of luck buddy

You might want to check out hot shot no pest strips. I think I might try that next.
it's either Avid or every other snake oil.

Here we go with all of the chemicals. Damn how can you spray this shit on plants, and then feel OK with people smoking it?
OrganicOzarks, you got a better solution? If some organic shit works Id be happy to use that instead. I got almost a month before they go into flower, wouldn't spray anything except some compost tea once they are in flower. Whats your suggestion? cutting and restarting isn't an option....

Just make a tobacco tea and add a few drops of lemon juice, dish soap, 1/2 teaspoon epsom salt, 1 cup vinegar, and 1/2 baking soda. Dilute to about 2 liters and use immediately. Remember the volcano experiment in elementary school? This kills them eggs and all. I spray every other day for a week or two. You have to be consistent and keep up on the sprays even though you don't see any. If not you will have a spider mite outbreak when you're in flower and thats too late. Don't even bother with organic treatment if you want your harvest. I've tried a number of products, this is a cheap and effective solution. Avid and floramite works good also. Whatever you use, you have to be on them every day or two or they will breed and make more eggs. I usually isolate the infected plants, make sure not to knock any mites off the plant when moving them or spraying. Then I strip down some fan leaves and bottom growth for better coverage when spraying. I just got some plants that are heavily infested with mites in quarantine and I'm not too worried.

I've been posting about this like crazy. You haven't seen it in the other thread?
OGBIOWAR foliar pack.
Use it once a week, and you will not see any critters. It kills about everything but bees. It has wiped out the grasshoppers on my property this year. It wiped out my broad mites on the first application.
I put off buying it because it seemed like very gimmicky marijuana based marketing, but the product inside the package is gold.
I stopped the 5 other things I was spraying, and now just use this. There seems to be some other people bringing in similar products to the US. I am glad as having 1 supplier seems scary.
