My spider mites seem dead already.

Did you use Neem oil? I've got some of this but a little apprehensive to use it, will test on a few leaves first I think.

I'm currently growing under 300W lights, do I need to spray when the lights are off?

Yes, that's what I'm using.
What kind of light it is?
Next week I'm starting to revive some of my citrus under an 85W CFL bulb Smile

300W low voltage dual spectrum CFL light. Any signs of the leaves not liking the oil?

And what quantity did you use? Mine says 1 teaspoon Neem oil to 1 teaspoon of washing up liquid plus 1 litre of walm water. Keeps for 8 hours

0,5% solution or 5 ml/1 l of water.
