What do I do with it I am trying t combat red spidermite
This was recomended to me. Just woundering how much of it should be diluted with 1 litre of water and how often should it be used. Also can this be spray on cuttings or just older plants in veg ?

Cheers guys

hi mate im sure i read that soma use 5cc of neem oil to 1 litre of warm water(coz neem oil is solid at low temps)
and he sprays 3/4 on the undersides of the leaves and the rest on the top.and it should be fine with seedlings and cuts ,it might even be extra beneficial to cuts as an anti-transpiration solution

High there
I use eco washing up liquid and it works great , best of luck , Neem is quite good if your infestation
is not too bad , if it is get some predators .

Hi there, i'm just new to 420.com but have been growing successfully for a number of years now. At one point i had a really bad spidermite infestation and used predators, they worked a treat. Mite numbers were really high (webs at the tops of my mothers) so i used Phytosiulus predator mites. This got rid of nearly all the spidermites, at first i thought they had got rid of the spidermites totally but a few weeks later i seen some eggs and a very small amount of spidermites. So then i used the neem oil and Hydrogarden's nitenite spidermite. This finished the little buggers off. I had tried the nitenite and neem before the predators as well but wasn't as effective with a heavy infestation. So use the predators at first then a month later spray with neem to finish them off. However i would still recommend neem spraying after this as a preventative measure, if you don't there is every chance of a spidermite reinfestation. Please find below the link to your predators, which are really easy to apply. Hope this is of some help to you and that you no longer have problems with the dreaded red b@5t@rd mite.
