Ghudda's first success, a ppk story

Start by going here, then decide if you want to fight them..I suggest scrapping and starting fresh.

heat treatments and essential oils work for some... I had to go nuclear, and Im glad that I did.
The toxins from these lil buggers linger for a while, even 6 months after they are gone.
This isn't a disease you cure, at the stage of damage your in, imho.
Your not gonna see any bms with your naked eye, unless your really near sided...most people cant them even with a loop, they need a MICROSCOPE.
With a loop I can see the eggs, look for a shiny trichome like object on the under sides of leaves...
A loop is good for deciding when your girls are done anyway.
good luck..

well, i'm with HL on chopping these, sterilizing the room, and starting over. these plants are so small and have so much time left that you will be fighting these fuggers until the end.
you will end up with a radically reduced yield.
but, if you are determined to fight them while growing the plants this has worked for me for mites.
1. physically pick off all visibly affected leaves. use a plastic bag to bag them while you go.
2. spray a strong neem oil solution on the plant, medium, containers, walls, everything else. this kills some but really seems to disrupt their feeding and makes them move around. i use "green light" brand neem oil from lowes, mixed in a gal garden sprayer. really wet everything down.
3. immediately after the neem spray set off a pyrethrum based bomb and then another bomb every 4th day until you have gone through 6 cans.
this is very effective against the 2 spot mite we get here. i have eliminated mites from a 8-10 plant room several times while doing perpetual.
