do pest strips work..
what strain? how long you flowering?
cali mist i will be in flower for 10 weeks
you have two more weeks to use neem oil (organic) thats what i would suggest. how bad is it?
its not that bad at all right now.. so get some neem oil and that will get rid of them..
ya i think it is 1 quart of water to a teaspoon of neem oil and a tea spoon of dishsoap. cover under sides of leafs really well using hands to remove some as you go, should knock em out safely.
nice thanks a lot for the advice i appreciate it a lot thankyou
no worries.
Neem oil sucks if you use your leaf. (nasty tasting white residue)
Predator mites can be used, but I prefer to simply share.
I've watched people trim the shade leaves, then wage war over a microgram.
(after years of gorilla farming & using pesticides, I've also learned that mites have better 'connections' than most growers do)
AVID, works everytime, just don't use 4 weeks before harvest.
Azatrol or Floramite are excellent for your current need. Use sparingly!
Floramite 1/4 tsp per gallon light application
2 tsp heavy application
Floramite good for at least 29 days following one application.
Azatrol for systemic application. Once a week keeps mite from having appetite. Do not use two weeks before harvest or ten days flushing.
And can significantly reduce your yield at this stage of the game.
Is it possible to move this to the problem plant section for ALL the experts to put in 2 cents. This is an interesting thead and the pro's and con's seem to be a big issue I'd like to see explored! Thanks a lot! PR :thumbsup:
I think a No Pest Strip will kill spider mites, but I'm not sure. I use a strip in my grow room and have never seen anything besides fungus gnats in there. I wouldn't want to spray any chemicals on a plant halfway through flower, you will be ingesting it eventually.
dish soap, works very well as long as your not more than 3 weeks from harvest. Just spray them real well with water and dish soap. Let them set for a couple days and then wash off with straight water. It will kill all bugs. They get the raging shits and die from dehydration.
