And now you can appreciate the idea of humping in a couple hundred bails of Promix and amendments several miles for a guerrilla. I'm always amazed at how heavy even a 5 gallon gets. Moving anything larger and I break out the furniture dolly etc. Giant tubs are great but once they are in place, forget it unless you put casters under them.

End pointless blather.

Sorry to hear about the borg invasion. They certainly love some dry heat. Just be diligent. If you get the upper hand, hopefully you'll not be fighting them tooth and nail into flower.

Yea well next grow they are all going in smart pots and on the ground.
It would be nice to wheel her in and out of there but it would be even nicer if I didn’t have the dam mites at all.
I read about these pyrethrum flowers, they look like daisy’s but are toxic to mites, its what some companies grind up and use as a miticide. I never thought of just growing the plant. I got three Jasmines out there now to help with the odor, these flowers could make good ground cover and keep the bastard Borg away from my greenhouse. That’s the plan anyway.

So today I took a couple shots and a video.



Before training today,





After training,



Talk about low stress, I think I am going to have to get more agressive.
As long as I can keep them around the height of that close line I will be alright.


Then I just started Boomers Blue Dream

I havent tried the neem yet, Im going with doctor dooms line up. The knockout spray and there foggers. If that dosent work I got time for more sprays, I really like the idea of mite predators. The lady bugs didnt work for me but I would rather go organic specially durring flower.

hmm well i do not believe ive had mites yet in my growrooms but i bomb each room before each round and ladybugs off and on a regular basis as a preventative measure. the neem oil is all organic and works aas a layer on top/bottom of leafs that can kill bugs including mites. bugs dont like the taste of neem and its not harmful to humans. sum cultures chew on the neem leafs for health issues. but anyways man hope u find sumthing that works for u and plz share cuz im sure ill get mites one day.

Keep up with the good preventative measures and you shouldn't ever get them. Azamax works ;)

Im pretty sure neem is organic.

Yes, it is. It comes from the neem plant that originated in India.

Yea, me too. In my case I think it is too hot and dry for ladybugs. After the spray and fogger treatments I'm gonna try those predator mites. I thought of them before but when I checked price they were like 100 bucks.
That link genuity shared is affordable $21.99 for eggs.

Thats the trick bud, preventive measures cause without them I am sure you would have got them by now. My deal is I always forget to do it. As you know this is not my 1st go around with them. I have used Safers spray, Neem oil and soap, tobacco juice and soap, hot shot bug strips and foggers. I think foggers kill the most. My plan of attack is the dr doom foggers and a new knockout spray then foggers a couple more times. Burn some sulfur every other week while this is going on then release some predator mites and let it finish.

It sure is. You know what they say,
"If there is a will, there is a way."

I had the will, About $1500 later I found my way.

Hey cruzer. I know I gave you advice for mites before, but as far as getting rid of them I have tried just about every product on the market and the doctor doom stuff was in the middle as far as effectiveness. The best spray I found was organocide, it smells terrible(like rotting fish) but it kills mites and eggs on contact and is organic and safe to use up to harvest, but it still never got rid of them completely. What got rid of them completely was the foggers. I tried the Dr Doom ones but they kept coming back, as soon as I switched to these

That is the pyrithrin one any also maker a one with acitin and that one works better and leaves less residue and is better in flower. With the acitin one, I ised one in each grow room a few months ago and havent seen the little fuckers since. They are a little pricey but well worth it to get rid of those fuckers forever in one application.
