i do believe that it's more from the sm than the neem, it's what mine looked like after treating with safers...

[GaGrown]

No! I meannt that they were doing GREAT since the use of the neem oil! I know that it was from the mites!

Hey Man- Happy to hear things are going better. I have no pest problems as of right now, hopefully will stay that way. However, I do want to remain cautious about it. I'm almost five weeks into flower so spraying neem oil on them is a bit out of the question. I have read various people on this site say that the pest strips work real well. This weekend I went to go buy some, could only find one brand, and they warnings on the package scared me straight out of the door! "Do not place near infants, do not place where people will be for an extended period, etc etc" Are all the effective ones like that? Shit, I treat my plants better than myself (they get a nice space heater for winter, I freeze my ass off in my room) so there is no way in hell I'm putting something that has dozens of warnings on it in the room.

Razza! It's gonna be O.K. You got ventilation,right? You ain't gonna die! Well..... Maybe 1 day! I'll throw a seed or 2 in with ya for comfort! You got a baby in the house or a pet? If so...... They should not sleep in the grow room! I got the Hot Shot brand. You'll be fine if ya don't put the pet bed or the baby crib in the grow area!

i have four pest strips in my room. yes, they had all of the same warnings. i think that is due to some people having allergies to the chemicles in the strip. i first found out about these when my lizard developed a mite prob. i was told to keep the strip in the cage with the lizard at all times, and after that, i realized that these things don't do great harm. hell, it takes a week before they work!

so, don't put a baby in the same room, but don't fret too much about those warnings either.

Yeah, I have ventilation I turn it off during their dark cycle but they really aren't that much harm it sounds like from you guys. Haven't seen a single pest yet, but I'm gonna grab one as a precuationay measure.

pest strips own

Sweet - that's enough advice from you good people to grab a few. The warnings just scared me naturally considering I treat my plants 2X better than I do myself, I was a bit cautious about throwing something in there with loads of warnings, but it sounds like yall do it! Thanks as always, it's so great to get help from kind people on a website such as this, I try to help others as well as I have learned a ton even in my first grow!
