how do you get spider mites? can you do anything prior to flowering that will keep them away? Other than ladyBugs?

Most people get spider mites from outside, you can bring them in on your clothes or pets can too.
Never mess with your grow after being outside in a garden or tending outside plants.

Houseplants also are a way to get mites. Get rid of houseplants to be sure.

Now that you have them your going to need a major clean up, use bug bombs when plants are gone, when you think its good enough do it again these buggers are the devil!
