So last night I decided to plant my germinated seeds into their solo cups, using an old bag of soil I had from my last crop. I should’ve known better, but the bag was full of mites. My question is, should I let these seedlings grow a little before I squirt any pesticides in there, or should I get rid of the spider mites ASAP? I don’t want to introduce my precious seedlings to any chemicals, but I’m afraid the mites might affect my root production before they get to a point where they can handle the pesticides. If anyone out there can help me make this decision it’d really be appreciated, thanks guys Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
ha, Me? I'd throw everything out. I did my time with spider mites and lost a whole plant. Now I keep a bucket of water with dr bronners soap and neem oil and rub it on the bottom of the leaves whenever I feel like it and I like it when I feel it.
