I have been trying everything, (within reason) I cant vacum 47 plants from 4ft to over 10ft. It's hard enough to spray em. I had to make my own home made sprayer. Now I can spray efficiantly by useing an atomizer tip useing 30 to 50psi Spider mites are resillant little bastards now days. I used spinisad, and then did a Azamax soil drench. Still have f ing crawlers, eggs but no webs, Thank GOD!!! I do a long harvest so after my first cut, I will either have to cut some a little early or let it go longer on the plant because I have to spray again to try one last time to get rid of those little destroyers. I have been keeping the webs off with alcohol, 70%Isopropyl 50/50 with ice water. It also kills alot of the crawlers and some of the eggs and it definately keeps them from webbing up my buds! I have been reading about Rosemary oil at a 2% solution. Only good things being said. Also Grapejuice. It is acidic, leaves a grapeish smell but I don't want to add color or flavor. I have Brazilian Skunk and got it for it's sweet hashy taste, super stone and pinkish,purplish, green color, grape juice seems like it would stain the bud? Any comments are greatfully appreciated.

Anyway if you go to that link and read down it gives another link to the actual research results. As you can see for 100% mortality you need high temps. At 68 degrees it takes about 8 days at high co2 levels to achieve 100% mortality. My personal experience is that during bloom, 12 hours at 10000 ppm will give about 60% mortality. Repeated every other day for a week will put you at a point where organic control measures can be implemented to keep the "Borg" at bay until harvest. I have had to do this several times. On single plants repeated apps of SNS217 will achieve control within a short time. Another option for control which has to be implemented early is hanging Hot Shot No Pest Strips. No these are not the sticky fly type traps. I think the chemical is Dicloros (spelled wrong). Just google the name Hot Shot no pest strips and you will find them. I get them at Ace or Home Depot. Ed Rosenthals Zero tolerance works well also on plants where you can sprey and are not in bud. Once in bud, and if possible, i promise you that the CO2 in combination with the no pest strips WILL work. I know that many people post many ways to get rid of mites. But if you are on the verge of infestation just do the math, the spidermites will win unless you get very proactive. For people that are growing MMJ please read the warnings for the N P Strips. I am okay with it but i know that some, if not a lot of people would not be. The only time you cannot achieve control with the myriad of products out there is in SOG where access to undersides of leaves is limited. I highly recommend the SNS 217. It does kill eggs. Not 100% as they claim. In order to make claims they have to test. Testing is not done on plants representational of the different settings consumers will encounter. It usually is done on leaf discs removed with a special tool called a leaf corer, i think. Anyway the SNS does work on eggs also, but like i said not 100%, but after 3 applications you will be well on the road. I have been researching and testing products for a long time as I cannot stand those little M.....krs. They are so frustrating. I can tell you that with a little effort proactively you can achieve control, but seldom irradication. Control is fine as long as you put in the effort to keep up a proactive regimen. After control is achieved i have had excellent results with once weekly sparse spraying of homemade mixtures. Hell even blasting with cold water works, but only after control is achieved. there is a paper online
