Mostly on the older growth big fan leaves there are tons of white dots , I was hoping a solid strain like NL would be immune to bugs but here we go. I have sprayed them a few times with Neem oil, actually I sprayed them about three times in 1 week until I found out you should only spray about once every 10 days, thoughts? So i just took pics with a usb magnifier camera (awesome investment btw for bugs and checking trichomes, i got a veho discovery and am happy with it) It's been about 4 days since last spray with neem and from the pics looks like larva and adults, the flecks of white are pretty numerous around the plant leaves and am not sure wth they are. I am using hempy buckets so maybe somehow bits of perlite are getting on the leaves somehow??? beats me. Looking for any suggestions., I assume I've got thrips but not positive. Go get ladybugs tomorrow maybe? bugs123best.jpgbugs123.jpgIMG-20120916-00368.jpgbugs.jpgbugs1.jpgbugs12.jpgIMG-20120916-00369.jpgIMG-20120916-00370.jpg

First and foremost man, with an indoor growroom you are essentially creating the PERFECT environment for certain bugs to thrive. A plant (no matter the strain) has nothing to do with whether or not you'll get bugs. Bugs will always be there if you get lazy or just overlook a weekly cleaning.

That said, when I've found spider mites in my room, I spray a neem oil/SM-90 (sm-90 is a wetting agent, so it helps the plant absorb) mix every three days. If it's a horrible infestation look for a fogger with Pyrethrum in it, like Dr. Doom.
That shit works to kill bugs. Just make sure you use it during the dark cycle, cus light disperses the pyrethrum...and air out your room well after. And don't plan on selling to clubs if you're gonna use Pyrethrum, they'll test for it typically.

Furthermore, make sure you are THOROUGHLY spraying neem on the underside of every leaf.

Worst case I'd say use Azamax, or something like that. You mix it with water and spray it on the bugs. It basically stops their ability to grow. It's bad to smoke that shit.

Good luck
:leaf:

Hey I checked out Sevin, looks good but not sure about what it's made from, i sleep with plants in my room and am fine with Neem all natural , is there a good reason to switch from Neem to Sevin?

Neem is fine, Sevin is a Carbyl (doesn't have a good rep). I think the application of Neem every 3 days is perfect, I read that Neem breaks down rather quickly.
