i cut up a little bar of soap an let it melt in water and added a very small amount of canola oil to the mix and sparyed it the mix on foilage and underneiths will this help or.......any suggestions would be great thanks

The soap should not be anti bacterial. I believe that will do you some harm. There are many commercial products available for spider mites I'm not certain which home remedies work.

You can use a mix of water, bio soap, tobacco and garlic (pretty smelly but work to block the attack)..
For commercial... I can advise Spinosad that is bio and seems to work pretty good..

spider mites suck. Its easy to get rid of them, its the eggs they lay when they are threatened that keeps em around. Be prepared for a long battle, these guys sure are something else. Im not trying to rain on your parade, but i think these lil buggers are the worst to have, iv'e been there. And they WILL start to spin webs around the buds.

well its not in that stage yet it veg .. leaves are turning yellow im not sure how long the thing has been like this for with mites but on average how long till there gone completely eggs an all

You can fight them off with Tabasco/chilli powder, water and a bit of dish soap...but you need to get something to deal them a heavy blow like pyrethrum...treat your plants atleast three times like 3-4 days apart so you can wipe out the hatchlings before they can breed and lay eggs of their own...thats the only way to beat them.

Doktor Doom will kick the ish out of them but it will burn your plants aswell...so spray from about 2 feet away and dont soak your plants with it if that is all you can find.

I used 1600 X-clude and wiped them out....here is a link from amazon...just so you know what to look for.

Good luck dude...I feel your pain.

If your diligent about it...you should see not trace in about a week...I wiped them out completley in about that time.

just be sure to inspect for any eggs that might have missed since a few missed eggs will start your problem all over again.

Good luck

Theres a product called Bayer Forbid 4F, one spray over the top of every leaf will kill and keep them dead for 4-7 weeks. Expensive stuff but the best product on the market I've used, but only spray in veg.

well i mixed some garlic and chilli power with a drop of dish soap and sprayed hopefully that does the trick for 3 days tell i get to a store an get some killer

I've heard also that SMC Spidermites Control is one of the best for eliminating spidermites and their eggs.. Apparently everybody that used it, got rid out these little bastrds...
Spidermite Control - Pesticide Free, Safe, Effective Control - has even been used for growing cannabis and marijuana plants indoors

ty.. so does any1 know what i should do with the damaged or yellow leaves that the spider mites messed with ..should i clip them

Hey man,

If you're growing in soil I've heard of people having success with placing a layer of sand around the base of their plants, on top of the soil. Maybe a half inch to an inch of sand around the base of the stalk. It's supposed to suffocate and kill the eggs.

kool thanks for the tip ill get some sand soon

I've heard of that for fungus gnats, but not spider mites. The eggs of spider mites will be on the undersides of leaves. Because they hang out under there, you either have to spray the tops of the leaves with a product which is translaminar in nature (will move from the top to the underside of the leaves), or ensure that you hit the bottom of every leaf. A common method to ensure this is to wipe the undersides of leaves but that can be very time consuming.

I use to use garlic and chili pepper as well... Now I use neem oil for any bugs....

also I can get neem oil at any garden center...

Saw this in Maximum Yield and thought it was pretty cool, don't know how practical it is though:

There's an interview with the owners on page 132:
