Re: Spider mites!
To give you all an idea of the size we are talking about
This is the chilli leaf used for the above pics
And the little black dot centre RIGHT ( the blurry spot) of the leaf is the dead body
Your never gonna see these dudes first. Always you will see little light colour dots forming either side of the leaf veins then ya turn the leaf over and you'll see lil black dots which are mite skat

Re: Spider mites!
I had to find a silver lining to having mites lol
hopefully few days of treatments - 5ec drench then iso/water and dish soap drench for 3 days should finish them off. mites can be a right bugger tho so yall may get to see me open up the arsenal lol

Trust me when i say its not a matter of if mate its when , they make it to your weed. Id destroy those chilli plants bro, drop em in a bucket of water overnight, drop in 2ml/ltr of ph down just to really fek em up, bag em and bin em mate. You touched your chilli plants , you enter your groom, so damage may already be done bro. They are A sexual so only takes 1. Spray every nook in your tent with 2ml/ltr of ph down as well mate.

Re: Spider mites!
outside aint far enough bro lol. Id drench all your house plants in that ph solution foliage and all bro. Batten the hatches and dig in bro. You might remember from my thread in another place that I welcome bad insects into my garden as part of my IPM nd diversity. Not the mites mate lol.
