Lol, try goggling "mites cannabis" I got like 520K hits. So much more common than you think.
We have 2 spotted spider mites outside all spring summer and fall. On windy day they blow in the window. So tracking them in on clothing, shoes, dogs etc. Very very common.
Once you get them you now know how difficult to get rid of them is. I think it's a right of passage for any farmer growing any crops. Some times we get pests. How you react or even be pro-active turns into part of your art as a grower.
Lots of farmers use spinosad. Its VERY VERY common. It's used on grapes and fruit/fruit trees and organic veggie farms.
I use it as a deterrent so that I don't have a very big active infestation which turns into a shit-fest full of work (and stress), me no likely.
I read this somewhere years ago:
"if you don't have spider mites now, its just a matter of time until you do."
When they join the party, it's likely forever. Sadly and my experience.
Trying to grow in a clean room is like trying to piss on the ceiling. G/L with that. lol
ive search several sets of leaves from the bb and I cannot find I live one so I am making headway coulnt find any on the #5 either ill check the others in a bit but things are starting to look up!
Be vigilant - dont skip a spraying. They will be gone soon.
Add some goodies in with the stuff you spray.
For example:
I add Kelp Tea - has growth hormones that will promote healthy new growth after the attack of the Borg.
You got this.
