Ok, so check this out. I am no stranger to bugs and bug problems I have had to fight my fair share of the lil bastards in the past but I have NEVER encountered mofos as powerful as the ones I am about to describe to you.
when I dunked, i completely submerged them, when I sprayed, I saturated the tops and bottoms of the leaves...here we go
So when I got the clones I noticed a few of these lil mongrels.. I mixed up a solution of neem oil, dishwashing soap, and safer insect soap.
I dunked the clones in the mixture every three days for two weeks. I had cloned the clones successfully and hadnt noticed em too bad but continued to spray with neem/water every five days or so.
As I noticed em more and more I started spraying the lil shits with a product called hot pepper wax which is a cayenne pepper spray I think. I would spray them thorougly every other day.
eventually I started flowering and noticed a few here and there so I alternated spraying them with hot pepper wax, fox farms dont bug me, and neem oil/ safer soap/water combo.
a few weeks in to flowering a couple of my plants started to speckel really bad so i bombed them with a .05 percent pyrethrum bomb. A few days later under inspection of a microscope I saw the lil bastards running around.
So I decided to buy a commercial 4.0 percent pyrethrum bomb which isnt even supposed to be used in residential applications! So I bombed them today, waited about 6 hours, went in picked off a leaf and.....
THE MOTHERF*CKERS ARE STILL ALIVEE!!!!!
I have never encountered such resistant spider focks in all my life and I am at my wits end!!
I am about to hit 4 weeks into flower so I cannot bomb my babies any more and have tried about everything that has ever worked for me.. now on one of my babies im starting to see the lil fucks weaving webs on one of the leafs!!
the only other option I can imagine at this point is brewing up a nicotine spray but I am worried that It will get in my buds and make em all nasty tasting like cigarettes
!!
My other concern is that If I bombed these bastards with 4.0 percent pyrethrum bomb even when I cut this whole crop down are they still gonna be milling around my room? I could bomb them every day for a week and they would still be kickin
!!
Has anyone ever had this much trouble with these lil bastards?
Does anyone have any suggestions on products I can use this late into flower? I am truly at a loss for words!
