for gnats; nematodes
for thrips: cucumeris
for mites; persimllis and californicus , both of these are the ones that seems to do best in my hot (78-85 degrees) and dry environment (40-50%)
If you grow perpetual and want to not have to spray, those 4 beneficial insects are your best friends but you do have to keep re-applying them. If you do cycles where you start over everytime, early application of all 4, once, or twice, should take you to harvest. In my case I get them twice a month, because I keep reintroducing new soil/plants into the grow room.
@Bob Bichen thats some good info there ^

I would love to use the beneficial bugs.
....want to find a method to maintain them.
Sadly, then commercial methods seem to include breed the bad bugs as
a feed animal for the "crop" of good bugs. I am not going to do that.
Give me something that I can buy once and apply for 6-8 weeks by leaving
the bulk hibernating on a potato slice, or some such. I have not found this
magic creature yet.

P.S. I clued in and when I buy Lady Bugs for the Vegetable garden I make a
bivouac for them, with food and water. They hang around much longer this way. :0)

Happy to have healthy plants back in rotation. The last of the treated plants are finishing up,
No sign of bugs for awhile now. Flowering now are the fb & srs moms, a couple of honeybee f1's
and a couple of fb x lemon cookies , a slymer cut and a nice og kush.
Also tossed a few fookies, gg4 x cherry pie , & a few tight dojo's into flower this morning,
All of the seedlings streeeeeeetched while waiting for room.

Im in a tent on a table, so I have to watch height. Most of the seeds were a chuck I did and wanted to do a little hunt, both parents stretch a fair bit in flower so we'll see.

FUCK the russets appeared out of nowhere last night.
Even after 6X sprays this year with the big guns and in rotation AND with scoping 30 leafs a day.
BIG CLUE: Check your new growth! That's where mine came
SEcond clue is the Forbid just wore off its 18 day killing protection,.
I swear to god they materialized out of no place and my friends keep asking "How could you let this happen"
