Grow Box questions...

...with Sessions threatening to raid all the legal pot markets and the horrible summer I had (smoke from forest fires blocked the sun all summer)...and the damned spider mites... I'm ready to invest in a grow box. I have been looking at BC Northern Lights Room mate..i think its about 3500 and that would include shipping to Wash state.

Does anyone have this model? Any grow box suggestions would really be appreciated...TIA.

1. Have you tried NEEM OIL?

I have successfully used it to eradicate spider mites from my bonsai. My husband is a horticulturalist and he thinks it may work for you.

From wiki:

Formulations made of neem oil also find wide usage as a biopesticide for organic farming, as it repels a wide variety of pests including the mealy bug, beet armyworm, aphids, the cabbage worm, thrips, whiteflies, mites, fungus gnats, beetles, moth larvae, mushroom flies, leafminers, caterpillars, locust, nematodes and the Japanese beetle.[3][4] Neem oil is not known to be harmful to mammals, birds, earthworms or some beneficial insects such as butterflies, honeybees and ladybirds (ladybugs in US English) if it is not concentrated directly into their area of habitat or on their food source. It can be used as a household pesticide for ant, bedbug, cockroach, housefly, sand fly, snail, termite and mosquitoes both as repellent and larvicide.[2] Neem oil also controls black spot, powdery mildew, anthracnose and rust fungi.
