Good advice on the water for the ladybugs ... The Borg be tough ... especially fighting them organically. Chemically, piece of pie or is that cake? I won't do cannabis that's been exposed to chemicals ... man-made chemicals that is ... are their any naturally occurring chemicals? Anyway, I've tried tobacco, pepper and numerous other 'teas' and had varying degrees of success with some of them ... ah, but they never beat The Borg! Neem oil, green soap, dilute lye nothing totally irradicated them ... 'cept for a chemical, the name of which escapes me now methly something or other ... trust me it's not important ... you don't want to use this crap ... it would be like taking poison ... not good!

Bottom line, fight 'em organically with everything you can teas soaps etc. everyday! Control 'em ... minimize 'em ... if you can wipe them off!

Harvest ... dry ... cure (very important).

Now ... clean every surface in the growroom, nursery, etc. AND every piece of equipment ... to say again ... EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, lights, fans, ducting, everything with a 10-15% solution of bleach and water.

There, isn't that better ... now you're ready to start growing in a Borg free environment.

Ya gotta keep at keeping your growing environment clean, not silicon wafer steril, but clean dam it!

Don't wear your outdoor gardening clothes in ya growroom, eh!

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it ... cause it's server me right these many years.

Later,
Helen
