Experience With Bacillus(BT)?

[DOUGAL25]

It's located in soils across the globe - in any handful of dirt, it's pretty certain you're going to find Bacillus spp.

Now it's not going to be all Bacillus thuringiensis, but theres a good chance you'll find BT or its endospores.

The point is it is very common and does not hurt plants, but defends them.

This is why I hated and still hate the idea of "new leaf potatoes"...they're ruining the cleanest pesticide known to man...not to mention causing unnatural mutations in nature...can't us humans stop effing with nature on such a broad scale? We're really gonna screw ourselves over just to satisfy our own curiosity. It's like we're trying to test different ways to destroy the environment and then speculate how long it will take each method to destroy us...

Yowsers, bit of a rant...but who can argue this? Curiosity kills the mother effing cat is all I gotta say...

haha, spot on!

It's scientists way of "playing god" - which can definitely have detrimental effects.

I don't trust those bio-engineered potatoes! Just glad I don't eat them.

They used to be grown specifically for the use as McDonald's french fries...then people started complaining because they didn't want to be eating french fries with pesticides in them (legit complaint) and then their popularity went way down. Yes the technology is cool, but so are atomic bombs...and we shouldn't be using those either...

You want to apply it at night because as soon as UV light reaches BT it starts to break down. It it only lasts for a certain amount of days so you have to reapply because it only kills young caterpillars Not the eggs, so while your killing the cats the moths are possibly laying more eggs which means it's an ongoing process of watching out for cats and applying BT.

Ya sweet great point man. Good to know that its safe to apply often. I guess I'll have to keep watching for those bastard fucking moths. Know of any effective traps for them? I've been using this one moth trap but is not effective at all.

Dudes say they use those zappers for mosquitoes. I have an idea but not sure how to implement it. They sell pyrethrum sprays to restaurants and they have a timer that let's out a little "Pssst"(a small spray) every few minutes or something and it keeps flies and whatever away also kills them and this stuff is safe for food prep areas. So if I could just hire one of those bums from savemart who keeps hitting me up for change to just kick back and spray a little pyrethrums in the air every ten minutes or so we'll be good.

I don't know how effective a spray would really work...

1.) If your room is properly ventilated, the spray won't stay stagnant in the air and do its job
2.) I don't know if I would want a pesticide spray being exposed to my vulnerable buds during flowering
3.) No pest strips are a god send, and so is isopropyl alcohol
