Spider mites amd thrips

[Nastyhabitz_]

Have you ever used one of those insect foggers? Im thinking of blitzing the whole room i know they can hide in ducting and nooks and crannys :(

Do you use the ph down as a cleaner? Is that what you mean mate?

Remember to add a drop of soap to ya mix. Helps it stick rather than bead and run off

Hobbit will be along shortly but

Ph down 2ml per litre. Spray everything

Nah, it is to mess up the mites

They can be seriously hardcore so you wanna hit them as hard as you can.

I did 5ec, 65% iso and ph down in a 3 day cycle for 6 days and haven't seen one since

Don't get me wrong, it slowed my young plants and burns some young leaves but you don't want the coming back immune to what ya got

Good, what I usually use against the mites. Red spider More specifically is potassium soap with very very cold water. That if the plague is not very deep inside the plant. Also I recommend if you are growing indoors, you keep the humidity as high as possible until the 6 week of flowering. To the red spider, likes the high temperature and low humidity, if it doesn't have some of these factors, it disappears

If the plants are in flower I use mighty wash, also use it as a preventive. If in veg then you can't beat pyrethrum 5EC, does a top job imo.

Also neem oil is very very good at controlling the area wash down with some eco detergent should keep the pests at bay pal

*RTU Ready to use sprays

1. Natural (organic) insecticides
These products are derived from plants or other natural substances. They are contact in action and
require thorough application, especially to the undersides of leaves. They control a broad range of small
invertebrates, including some beneficials if they are present at the time of treatment. The short
persistence of these compounds may mean that frequent applications are required. They are safe to use
on most plants, including listed fruits and vegetables which can be treated close to harvest (see label
recommendations). Relatively harmless to birds and mammals but harmful to fish and amphibians.

a) Natural pyrethrum/pyrethrins
Derived from the flowers of Tanacetum cinerariifolium. Broad spectrum insecticide, that can control a
wide range of insects including whitefly, small caterpillars, aphids, thrips, leafhoppers, capsids, ants and
some beetle pests.

Biological control i used was a predatory mite specifically for the use against red spider mite (or 2 spotted mite) as they are known. Unfortunately they did not work in my flower groom. Not sure why it could have bean previous sprays that affected them. I also used on my clones in a separate application and i have not seen hide nor tail of them since.

I got mine from here : https://www.defenders.co.uk
