Got Mites? Get No-Pest-Strips

Ok, so i have tested this now in two completely different enviroments... one was two infected clones that were put, one in soil the other hydro, in a completely controlled enviroment.

and a indoor soil flower room that was PLAGUED (seriously, like bible type shit)


in the first setup i added these two infected plants to a little 6 plant system, and the one in soil. i simply cleaned the plants, prior. and put a HOTSHOT's brand nopeststrip, right in the plants.

in the second setup... i was lookin at a garden that had about 100 plants, almost ALL infected with mites... my first step was to, get the rooms temp, and airflow improved. second was to control the humidity in the room. third was the physical grooming of the plants, trimming all bad foiliage, removing webs, ect. fourth i cleaned the entire growroom, not disenfected, just removed all plant debris, dirt, water, rearranged, ect. LAST i hung four NPS in the room, one infront of an a/c unit, one on a lamp cord, and two right on the lower branches of the most infected budding plants.

in the first one, i have never seen a mite... period

second one it took about a 4-5 days to completely kill them all... each day better and better, it has been about a week with no visible traces of mites

keeping your grow climate/area maintained is the most important part. when everything is right, only then can you start to fix all your problems

:bump2:

nice bump

i want to thank this forum for turning me on to them, I have been playing plant doctor for many close friends... so i had to test this. of course, cleanliness is next to godliness, but i was shocked... for the first two days after application, in the plague room, there were still some live spiders, and webs, even after cleaning the whole area/plants, but there was no colony growth... and soon i didn't have to clean any new webs, or find newly infected leaves... i always keep a close eye, and my industrial spray ready, but these are working so far, all plants bouncing back tremendously


FYI: the package says they last for like 4 months, i would imagine 3 is the best

sorry for no pictures, but it just isn't allowed in the plague room

If you dont mind, keep posting here what you find, i will be honest, i have learned more from these forums than i have from reading books, or watching video's. This to me is alot better since we are able to see which works best, but as always, keeping everything clean, dust/dirt, and the right conditions in your grow room is truly the key to the golden bud room.... thanks again
