Don't kid yourself. Spider mites are serious stuff and washing them over and over is a bad idea in flowering as well as applying anything toxic or that might ruin the taste and development.
Predator Spider Mites.
They are most likely given the grow you have to be the cure. I would recommend mantis babies, but you wont likely be able to buy them this time of year. That really sucks about mites. I had them on strawberry plants and they multiply fast and are impossible to get rid of I found. Neem oil, washing them etc, never kept them gone.
Which is why I am so happy that my grow room is very isolated. Also it is winter. Not sure if it matters, but I feel you are less likely to contaminate your crop during winter from outdoor to indoor transfer.
Your dog may be the transfer agent however. Pets are a huge problem when it comes to that.
Sucks man, I hope you get some biological available and can erradicate them all and save your buds.

I stopped doing the isopropyl thing about a week or so ago. I've just been doing it by hand really. I've also been trying to up the humidity in the closet - heard that really helps.
Yeah I went to my local hydro store and asked for predatory mites, he said same thing you said. Can't get them this time of year.
I'll keep tryin... nothin else to do.

Congrats on a good end to your first grow! It only gets easier from here my man

I think this is due to a lack of CO2 in the grow closet. I don't have proper ventilation in and out of the grow room, so to compensate I think I may try the seltzer tek on my one remaining plant which still has 6 weeks to go.
Eh, I would look to other means besides C02 to fix your yield problems. CO2 is most beneficial in a closed system on a regulated tank. Even then you're almost always better off figuring out how to keep temps down rather then supplement with C02.

Thanks Coda! I'm super happy I got at least something good out of this grow. Now hopefully my remaining haze will make it the last 6-7 weeks. The yield off that thing is gonna be really big. The plants enormous - I trained it around the skunk plant!

Well there is little I can do for the remaining 6 weeks or so. Temps are not a problem. I think the biggest limitation of this grow has been rooting. Next grow I'm definitely going down the netted cups and hydro pebble route. I also need to rethink my drainage a bit - since flood and drain are all located on the same side of the flood chamber, a lot of crap builds up on the left end of the setup. So there is for sure, lots for me to think about... however like I said, I think trying to enrich co2 is the only thing to do on this grow.

Dude I think the biggest lesson I learned from your grow is use all cones in this type of system so they all harvest at the same time and grow to the same height. I also was reminded why roots are so dam important. Great log, this is why we have them. For people who just don't know what we already do.

QFT - Those are the two big ones I learned too.

Whatever dude. It's my first grow and I made a pile of mistakes that isn't even funny to look at. I'm just happy right now that emerging from the horrific neglect and stupidity that these plants endured for the first few weeks of their lives, I have two awesome female plants.
Next grow, I won't make as many mistakes.
i grew barneys farm 8 ball kush had what i think was really good turn out i had serious newbie syndrome over/under watering/fertilization cold nights cold waterings i even woke my ladies up at night on many occasion and they turned out ok for me if newbies like me use them it should be all good i had 3 seeds got 3 ladies and NO hermies
