Hey folks i bought a couple of pest control things today and have a few ?? about them and how to use them..First off my babies r just 3 days old and r still in there dome in rapid rooters, but my ?? is can i fill my containers with a coco perlite mix and set the foggers off??..I wanted to do this just incase i got bugs in my mediums from the hydro store... Also should i take the babies out for the day and let the foggers off or will it not matter since there in the dome?? Thanks for any help in advance..Doktor Doom 3oz Fogger
DOOM31$8.75ProControl TR Fogger - 6oz
PC7001$8.00SM-90 Anti Fungal Treatment - 1L
 
Are you having problems with pest or are these for preventative measures? ooo nevermind re-read your post. Ummmm I would probably go with some neem oil. Generally only go to the foggers for the down time in between grows or once you see bugs
 
wait, you don't need anything yet if your plants are only seedlings. I guess the question confuses me.
 
No its a preventivie measure thing...So basically ur saying to just wait until i see something?? Both of the foggers i got where supposivly ok to use with ur plants r in the room not harmful they say..R spiders good or bad becuz i know i have some of them...Also saw a few little fly things but not sure what they r becuz its an outside(old) building soo bugs can get in..Thats why i bought these things allready..lol..Just wanting to know how u guys use them and when
 
Basically i just wanted to fog the room to get whatever is in there out, and keep the other fogger and i can use that SM-90 all grow i believe but not sure..
 
I've been working in pest control for the last 8 years. The last thing you want to do is spray chemicals around if you don't have to. Especially onto something you're going to want to ingest at some point. Wait until there's a problem before applying anything then just stick to stuff made for edible plants. Hell, you can make a tincture from tobacco that wards off most outdoor pests. It's old school but it works. Don't use anything that has a residual value to it. If you see small flies that could be fungus root gnats. The worst thing about 'em is the larvae live in the soil and can damage your roots. I've used a product called GoGnats on 'em and it worked fine also you could set some sticky pads or strips around your grow area. Spiders are good, but spider mites are bad.
 
okay thanks guys ill wait till they need to be taken care of..Yea i thought spiders where good i know mites r bad thats why i got the SM-90 it kills everything and it is good for ur plants to heres a description........Concentrated SM-90 treats both insect and fungal infestations. May be used to treat root diseases, molds, mildew, leaf spot. Applied directly to foliage, SM-90 discourages and eliminates many common pests, including aphids, thrips, spider mites and whiteflies. Also increases plant transpiration and metabolism and accelerates growth...
 
Just make sure whatever you use is for edibles. It's one thing to protect your prize roses or orchids but quite another for you heirloom tomatoes or favorite Haze.:)
 
trust me, mighty wash is the shit in spider mite control.Don't just shrug this off and stick with your old school chemicals/oils. mighty wash is 99.8335 percent water and the rest inert . you could drink it if you had to but it kills the fuck out of mites.
 
hey got gnats and my ladies r only 9 days old so i dont really want to fog my room, also dont know if i can spray a plant at such an early age..Should i use mighty wash?? or will my foggers and SM-90 be fine
