, 2 to the right and one(which switched to t5 veg for a couple of weeks) from the center. Heat was an issue, corrected, and distance is kind of still in test mode.

This plant went through early defol, and for some reason can seem to reach the light, her stretch has been impressive growing approx.8 inches this week. She went auto,. Have added Lady bugs for the mite control.

Been growing 30 years or so. My go to advice for spider mites has been "Spots can be cleared but once you find webs take it down. It ain't worth the fight."
Until
I found (purchased and used) Sierra Natural Science 217 Spider Mite Control

Works.

Works.

Am trying ladybugs, 2 days in, they are laying eggs and expect results. I opened them and first thing they did, drink, lay eggs and investigate through the leaves. Kind of fun. Not so happy with the sticky buds and leaves, but they should be ok for duration. Really not into chems or altering the smell. Also I've got them all over my vegging plants for future control. Had used a Neem oil mixture. They are not happy with the cool night, but the lights warm them up. Not sure if UVB is harming them or not. Havent seen research yet. But they dont mind the light otherwise...Will research the SNS control for by-products if this doesnt work.
