Howdy. Just wondering when is a good time to start flushing. Saturday will be the finish of week 9. Flipped plants 4 weeks ago roughly. They're stacking nicely and hairs are about 30% orange, trichomes are still clear but building like crazy. I know the method is typically 80% amber before...
Question then about prevention, is it a good idea to get some DE on my next grow and sprinkle periodically in the soil to prevent this from happening again? This is only my second go at it, and I don't know a lot of practices for IPM.
For sure I appreciate your thorough response. I'll return the insecticide i bought and try your remedy. If nothing else, its unappealing to look at all the eggs and know there are little bugs crawling around in there lmao. But good to know the buds won't really be damaged more so the foliage.
Okay very helpful thank you. reading more on it, I guess DE is similar to glass shards under a microscope. Where I'm at in flower I don't want to risk smoking anything that's going to be harmful to that degree. Would using a hefty amount of water in a spray bottle over everything before harvest...
Unfortunately, I couldn't get the spider mites on my 2 girls under control at all with azapro and water sprays and theyre getting out of control. Almost every leaf has eggs on my right plant and the left plant is spreading quickly as well. I need some opinions on if I should chop or a solution...
The azapro hasn't worked so far. Any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. At this point, I'm so new that if someone could just direct me to a good aerosol can to spray on them or something I'm fine with just rinsing the buds afterward.
