I was reading a while back about the ladybugs getting released to kill the mites. Did they take care of the mites for you? I didn't hear any mention of them after the lady bugs.
The ladybugs really didn't do much for me. I basically had to start over to get rid of the mites ..... I used various different kinds of sprays nothing worked a hundred percent and they always came back .... my garden is at 6 weeks flower , pest free, pm free and im so happy about that. My last grow I had powdery mildew I don't know which is worse mites or powdery mildew Long story short ladybugs don't help and now I use a HEPA filter for my air intake and I don't bring anyone else's cuts into my grow room Wish I had better news for you about the ladybugs but I would not recommend them I think they're just a waste of time and money when it comes to mites Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
Thanks. My plan is to just finish out the plants I have and take cuttings which are much easier to treat and isolate my clone machine. Once all the plants are done i'll scour the tent several times and leave it empty for a few days then start vegging again. Funny thing but have you noticed that spider mites don't really like buds they kinda hang out on the leaves and ignore the buds. I harvested a couple of colas early and after I trimmed the leaves I couldn't see any mites on them.
Flower room is almost clean and put back together after last run......harvest results last run 100+ zips from 3 lights, cheap bulbs , flood n drain in hydroton, gh 3 part + cal mag , 5 different strains from feminized seed including .... Bomb seeds THC Bomb, Dutch Passion Master Kush, Greenhouse seeds Kalashnikova, Barney's Farm Critical Kush, Barney's Farm LSD, ..... I'm pretty happy with all of it here's some late flower + Harvest pictures from this run Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
Hell yeah man fat nugs galore! I'll be running the thc bomb after this run. I got some gorilla bomb, candy cream, hash passion and cheese atm going. 2 weeks this thursday into the flip.
I don't want more bugs in my tent either bro! Mites take 3 weeks and 3 chemicals to get rid of. What if the mites infest the ladybug carcasses? Haa!
3 weeks to get rid of? Maybe if you catch them in veg. I had a heck of a battle with mites when they showed up after I was already in flower. Can't really spray flowering plants much. I had to just keep them at bay and finish the crop with them. 100oz's? Wow! Nice run. Not quite 1g/watt but close?
I always enjoy your pics. I've been lurking your threads and posts for a while. You inspired me to let me plants fully ripen. Without knowing it, you've really furthered my growing skill. Thanks.
You took it early so it will prolly have a frantic front end when you smoke it! Excellent morning bowl! Wake and bake!
Doing a full overhaul and soaking the soil with a neem drench and some mosquito pellets soaked in water then water that into the containers
