Thanks - found a bug on a seedling in grow room --killed it - good info Have had mites before (outdoords) 1st infesting ever in doors. Seems that if you grow with tomatoes your plants always end up with mites

If not in flower, or if in flower for a seed run where you’re not going for consumables SAFERS END ALL!!
Mix 50ml with 1000ml of tap water, shake like hell, soak down the plants.
I usually go OCD and soak with enders, let dry, wash the plant with water, let grow a few days, then do it all again… and maybe in 2-3 days time… again.
Gotta break the life cycle and this has brought me much success with many critters; usually in winter as I have a lot of tropical houseplants that move inside for the winter and even though they are sprayed down sometimes things still find a way…
Best of success @hawkman
