Whats your recipe for the hot pepper spray? And decided not to get lady bugs until next week. Having some car trouble.
There's a recipe on this site, in the marijuana plant problems section, subsection "bugs". It's a sticky thread. I tend to make larger batches and use more peppers. Pay attention to the cautions about inhaling pepper spray and getting it in your eyes and on hands etc.
I use a liquid sulfur found at big box stores / Amazon, although I've made it from powdered sulfur too. Bonide and Espoma are two brands I've used. I pour about 1/2 inch in the bottom of a 24 oz spray bottle and add a couple drops of soap, shake the bottle real good and then get the whole plant, don't forget to get under the leaves too.
Lady bugs have worked for me on aphids, I'd probably use predator mites on spider mites rather than lady bugs though. If you do use lady bugs, expect about half to immediatley Kamikaze into grow lights and they appreciate a water spray on the leaves....they get thirsty.
