Damn that sucks. Sounds like you did the right think. Totally clean is one main thing I learned with the PM issues I am having. At least you had the ability to pull everything out so you can re-due the grow room. Pretty sure the neighbor's would be shocked if I did that LOL. Going to be able to eat of room after I am finished with it this summer. People say I have no empathy. They will never understand how bad I feel looking at plants that are not healthy and happy.

I'm all over them, although I have to admit I'm finding it pretty difficult to not go out there and treat them two or three times a day. I know that'll just make things worse.....immunity and all. I've got 3 different forms of agent to combat these pricks. I had a really hard time with this little nugget; my ATF that was unsexed, she sat in the corner of veg. I knew, if i were a mite, id hide in the middle of that.....all day long. Male or not, it got chopped. It took a load off my mind. I had a soft spot for "it", but for the better of the actual girls.....bye bye! Theirs minimal leaves in veg. Only 1 of my girls has any signs. I checked her today and all infected leaves show signs of death! I do however see an intricate level of webbing, with an occasional, pale yellow sphere. I can only assume that those are the eggs that my "Smite" product, intends to smother.
I learned it in my 1st week here, funny how "patience" plays a role in our every day. I've also carefully sprayed my flower area, just in case.

I was looking through your journal and realized that you just harvested some Crown Royale from Cropking, it looks awesome by the way. I have a few of their strains going right now also and Crown Royale is one of them. I was wondering how you like the strain and what kind of high does it have? I will be flipping to flower next weekend and I hope mine turns out as good as yours did. Thanks in advance for any info.

Seems no longer available to us here in Canada because it is considered carcinogenic. At least that's what I was told at the hydro store. I did however just recently find it at a local discount clothing store in their Overstock area. As funny as that sounds....... Sometimes they have good deals on culinary stuff, that's why I end up there while my girlfriend shops for clothing LOL.

I haven't smoked any of her yet, still in cure, but her profile is starting to come out in the jar. Youre in for a treat... super easy to grow and Lovely smell of pineapple from my girls as they matured in flower.
They kind of took a backseat as I concentrated a lot of my time and journaling on how well the white cookies was doing in Hydro, but these two are no joke. They turned out really well and the 90% of the buds in the jar are all 2-3" long.

So I won't waste a pile of time on the mites today other than to show you the lineup of what I plan on using. As I just said in my previous post, we are not able to get our hands on neem here in Canada.
The last one is a product called Smite and it is primarily extracts from chrysanthemum, Rosemary Etc. I didn't expect $120 / bottle at my local hydro store, so he gave me 20 mls on the house because I'm loyal customer 
. Actually he just wrote the bottle off and is going to use it himself.
Here's a quick overview. I went through all of my Tents today and throughout any plants that were not necessary......this is devastating and very upsetting to me, but also made me cull some girls. I kept four ATF clones and one blueberry. I wanted to eliminate as many possibilities for places to hide as I could. I also completely bleached all of my tents.
Here's my clones....
Here's veg.......
Here's flower, sorry about the blurple......i did spray in here, but very sparingly. Mostly on the girls that were just introduced. I've also lowered daytime temperatures in flower to 70-72°f, as I heard that mites hate the cold.

Which brings leaving Phase 2 of what I did today. I actually decided I was going to make some hash out of kief close to one pound of trimmings that I had in my freezer. I had some 70 and 220 micron bags that I bought a while ago, I found a guy locally that sells dry ice so I decided to give it a shot. First is the bag on the scale, are they said close to one pound of trimmings.
Next, 2 lb of dry ice.
Combined trimmings and ice in a pale, preferably 5 gallon as that's what size my hashtags were intended for. Pull the snug fitting bag over top of your pale.
Pretty simply, make sure you hold on to your bag if it doesn't fit tight, then invert your tail upside down and start shaking. I shook mine for one minute with my 220 micron filter and one minute with my 70 micron filter to give myself two grades of Keith on a rather large picture frame.
I then scraped it up to using my debit card and ended up with these two piles.
After squeezing them for some time with my fingers, I ended up with these little blocks. Notice the difference in color.
Pretty be with the results for my first time..... Now to let them cure in a jar with my boveda pac, just like my meds.

So @Van Stank, what type of alcohol did you use in your non pesticide days? I haven't seen a live mite since I've started my regiment. I'll keep on them.......
Just the 70% rubbing alcohol.....mixed at 9:1 and preferrably administered through a sprayer that has a bit of pressure.

So am I ultimately just trying to knock them off with that method, or does the alcohol actually kill them?
It will help kill them. Any that get knocked off as well is a good thing.....hence the added pressure.
Your water alone is trying to knock them off.

Walmart has these pressure sprayer bottles man 4$ I look at it ?
Those will work!

I gotta say that upon closer inspection, I appear to have caught this just in time. I'm not taking anything for granted, but no signs again today. That's scary shit!
Wish I could have taken pics of them, but bugs don't deserve the spotlight.....my girls do.
Looking pretty good. I figure my cloning space is where they started, just based on concentration of teeny tiny webs. Not too many girls left.
Froze my clones as they left with the leftover dry ice from making hash. Just to ensure maximum death count lol.
Here's veg.....looking pretty good for day 9. Despite mites crashing the party....nick of time comes to mind!
And here's one of my Peyote cookies in flower. Quickly becoming a beast for day 9.
Another long night in the grow room again. Here I was....trying to lessen my time in there lol.
