I dip all cuts in Avid or Forbid(kills egg's). Then do 3 applications of Azamax 3 days apart. Then use it every 2 weeks until I flower them. I have been picking off leaves from all plants giving them a good inspection under the microscope so far 100% clean..

Turns out I have two samples from the show. Eco-Mite and No Spider Mites.

They are both citronella based with the NSM also having geranium oil. The NSM is 0.5% while the ECO is 1.98% citronella.

Honestly on small cuts and plants I find it just as easy to remove the mites with my hands. They also smoosh pretty easy unlike hard bodied critters.

I will use the sprays since I have them available though.

spray everything not just the plants. The floors,walls all equipment that in the rooms. Where gloves. Spray the bottom of your shoes. I use the strong stuff for that Avid OR Forbid. I even sprayed all of the containers then let them dry did not wipe them off..

Take all cuts that are in the cloner dip those in Avid(.8ml per g). Spray all plants very well underside is very important. Let this stay for 3 days apply the 2nd treatment, wait another 3 days apply the last treatment wait 3 days then give all plants a good water shower. this will kill everything. Then use a OMRI product like Azamax(.6 ml per g) for preventative measures. After 2 wweks all plants get a good soaking, Every 2 weeks they all get a good soaking until ther eready to flower. then give all plants that are being moved into flower a good fresh water spraying. I use those presure sprayers 1 for Avid or Forbid, 1 for Azamax and 1 for fresh clean water .. This is what I do no bugs of anykind to be found :)

I use a generic of Avid, but only on small plants at the beginning of a run.

I use 4 different clearly marked sprayers. One is for avid only. Spinosad is marked Organic only

Be very careful to use the correct PPE when spraying that stuff. Make sure your ossilating fan is off, and not giving you some blow back. That stuff wreaks havoc on your CNS!
I paid someone to spray mine. I supplied a mask, gloves, clothing and all PPE as well.

The good thing is, its undetectable in about 45 days. gone. And you dont have to spray oil based organic stinky crap all over your buds.
I lost my LA Confidential and sweet tooth mothers by not using avid, letting the mited get out of hand, then running to the farmers supply and getting thr wrong oil based spray that cooked my plants. World class mothers lost forever.

alot of people that are new to bug control do the same Including me. I should have known and used there lowest dosage first. That Azamax is strong stuff if mixed at 3tbs per G. Directions say

Dilute AzaMax® with water at a rate of 0.5 - 4.0 tablespoons (Tbs) per gallon of water.
 
Different strokes I guess haha! I would much rather spray buds with stinky oil! The htpothetical problems with that never materialIzed for me. I just don't get it... I also bring soil in from outside and move plants in and out no problem! If there is a day I eat my words on this matter you can count on me to share my "depressing" story haha!
Inmy experience asamax doesn't do shit oh well

Your story sounds like mine.

I learned a hard lesson. I was certain full organic would put out a better bud. It didnt. Azamax, neem, and essential oils all failed to erradicate the mendo mites I had.

The plants did not grow to their potential, and as Mites are in the Arachna family, and I am allergic to spider dust, it ruined all my weed and caused my lungs to itch and wheeze. It was a hard lesson.

I still use mostly organic ferts and stuff, but do use Avid when needed, but only in early veg.
