I got an outdoor grow going on, anyone help a fellow grower ?

Whats up people ?


I have a grow outside this summer and i'm seeing some bugs (i'll get pics in a minute) they look white and about 3-5 mm long about 1-2mm wide.

There's about fucking 200+ at most, come up 2 days ago and i just noticed they''re bugs moving, i'v done a search but i thought i'd join a new site an see what others say.

1st what they are ? 2nd how to get rid for good! like not come back, old veteran tricks etc.


bless all an smoke pot

buy you some liquid 7 dust and spray and that should do the job no mater what the bugs are..ky

Pics?

Do they fly? Walk? Jump? Do you see damage on the plant? Where do they hang out? Fast or slow moving?

Don't just go spraying stuff on your plants, some insects are good, and ward off bad insects. Spraying them kills off both but then, since the good are gone, the bad can proliferate without resistance.

For instance, if they're aphids, you could simply knock them off with a shot of water, and allow ladybirds to come in and manage things thereafter.

Integrated Pest Management goes hand in hand with outdoor growing. Highly recommend developing a long term strategy, or you could be spraying throughout the whole grow. I'm lazy like that.

I had bug issues earlier this season and few people recommended spinosad I use Monterey garden with spinosad and shit worked wonders. No more bug issues an it didn't burn the leaves it discolor them. You can use it on vegetables and all sorts of trees plants bought it on amazon for like $10-15 and you only use like 2oz per gallon of water in a pump sprayer. 7 dust also works so does neem but not as well

Yes but only once or twice a year or your building Spinosad resistant bugs. I had a long convo with a professor of entomology about this at uc Davis. Spinosad was his recommendation for use on herb BTW.

How do you build a tolerance to bacteria ?

It only last for a week in the sun. I don't believe the professor .

This^ but don't spray 7 on the plants just around them. Use neem too spray your plants directly n see if that works first before you take drastic measures
