. Trying to Figure out.what to use for spray that Won't kill the predators I m going to add at flower. I think I'll call some of these companies that have the beneficial predators and ask questions about when to apply and so forth. They should have all the answers.

I don't remember reading about agsil. Yucca is aloe right? Used as a spreader. So the agsil and yucca are foliar?

sorry to be obscure ;(
ingredients.
dnya gro protec. at 1/4 teaspoon per gallon.
dyna gro neem at 1 t. per gallon
yucca schidigera or aloe at 1t per gallon
1.)warm up some water on the fire, stove or what have you. about a gallon is what i do . to body temp.70-80*
2.)mix warm neem with protec in mason jar.
3.) mix yucca or aloe or bronners in warm water
4.) add neem / protect mix to warm water.
5.) mix one gallon with larger amount of water for mass root drench .

WHY :
Many insecticides break down quickly. They wash away with rain, or when irrigating, or the sunlight destroys them. You either have to spray all the time, or you have to spray something that's so stable that it stays around forever. That means the chemical builds up everywhere and eventually poisons everything, including you.

Neem oil breaks down very quickly, too. It is especially susceptible to UV light. But neem oil is also a systemic insecticide. That means you can pour it on the soil (not pure neem oil of course, you use a dilution or extract) and the plants absorb it. They take it up into their tissue, and it works from the inside. A leaf hopper may take a couple of bites, but that's it.

However, this does not work for all insect species. The neem ingredients accumulate in the tissues deeper inside the plant. The phloem, the outermost layer, contains hardly any. A tiny aphid feeds from the phloem, it can not penetrate deep enough to get a dose of neem. But any leaf hoppers, grass hoppers or similar chomping insects will be incapacitated quickly.

People eat neem leaves to cleanse the blood, stimulate the liver, and boost the immune system. So we certainly don't need to worry about a bit of neem inside our lettuce leaves. To me this is a much more attractive option than having poisonous foulicides build up in my garden.

I will be watching that like a hawk! Yeah that AK is amazing! I fucked up and flowered both that I had and didn't take a clone. I have a lower nug that I am trying to root. Hopefully I will be able to save her but if not I will be looking for another cut around 4/20. ;)

That's all he.should be. Seeing is.dead.ones.after the.spray. of.worry.free. if they.are.all.dead.then that leads.me.to think you just had thrip instead of russet. That's. A.good. thing cause the.russet is.so.hard.to get.rid.of. I wouldn't do anymore spraying now . Just keep. Scoping and hopefully you can get to 8 or 9 weeks without needing. To.spray.again.
