Mites...but not spider mites?
OK kids...so I went back to my local grow shop today to get a larger quantity (1gal and EXPENSIVE, but I figured worth it in the long run) of the SNS-203 and there was a different girl working. We discussed the SNS-203 and how I had read mixed reviews on it. She seemed a little more keen about root aphids than the other girls were (grower herself) and told me to follow her to the pest control section. She pulled out a bottle of 30% H2O2 and said to use it instead (MUCH more economical too). I was a bit confused, but it made sense after she explained it to me. Basically it will eat the buggers & disease, and save what's left of the roots. She suggested using it regularly. I don't expect to fully eradicate these things, but I would like to at least knock the shit out of them long enough to finish my crop, which should be in 3-4wks. I did about 5ml per gal (3ml is suggested) and soaked them until about 10-20% run off. I also have been spraying rubbing alcohol on all the flyers, rims/tops of pots and on ANYTHING moving around my tent, this kills them INSTANTLY. I made up a second, extremely strong batch of H2O2 water and am flooding my whole tent floor as to kill anything that may be lurking under the pots, edges, whatever.
She said root aphids weren't a problem here in Seattle and other states until about a year or so ago when they were spread here from contaminated plants from Cali.Tha206 Reviewed by Tha206 on . Mites...but not spider mites? Greetings, I went in to my grow tent last night to do my daily inspection and prepare to feed when I noticed a small branch that I had clipped off and missed a couple days ago was lying on the floor. I picked it up to dispose of it and noticed a large amount of tiny black bugs all over the stem. Upon magnified inspection, they appeared to be shaped like spider mites, but were much larger, visible without magnification and black or black/green in color. After disposing of the branch, I Rating: 5
