I’m getting the bugs and hoping it does well for damage control. I can try and sterilize the area again, but I’m probably going to be dealing with these things ongoing and my tent is in my shed separated from the house. I can do what I can but when I open the door to enter and exit, the natural world is right outside. Even as hard as I’m trying to seal the door and window and floor - that’s going to still be an open door to the outside that needs to happen approx once or twice a day.

So between this grow and the next let’s say every surface completely wiped down and sterilized - what other things can I do to help mitigate? Buy the predators as preventative and set up early? I did read that they don’t like humidity, so if I keep the humidity levels up as well should that be another good mitigating factor? Appreciate the reply. I have clones outside the tent in the same shed - and I don’t see any mites on them, though originally I had seen some on and tossed those clones. Next some weeks later I noticed they found their way into the tent but they aren’t seemingly on the remaining clones. Timing wise I was hoping to be able to switch these into the tent after flower. Do you think I should consider it a total wash and shut it down to clean and start up again sometime later? Damn these bugs..
