It's ecosmart organic garden insect killer. I just used it on what I'm now thinking are springtails and probably harmless. I guess i have an itchy spray bottle trigger finger even tho I'm trying to supposedly be going organic

BTW can anyone tell me who lives in this microherd??

this grow has suddenly gotten interesting.

I don't think so. Mites and the like. However, this stuff is EXPENSIVE! I made my own for my clones that I got from someone else...as a preventative pre planting. I went to the health food store and got rosemary oil, put a drop or two into a small spraybottle with some bottled water and a few drops of Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap (bulk at the health food store...buy just a little) (has the peppermint oil AND the soap that makes it blend). Tah Dah! The rosemary oil will last you forever. It was like $10 WITH the spray bottle. Don't spend $65 on that other stuff.

Ok thanks...it was expensive but not quite THAT expensive lol. I just read that several people thought it was killing their plants! I just sprayed the soil so I think I'll take off the top layer tomorrow...crap.

They may have sprayed it on their plants too often? It shouldn't be a problem at all on your soil. I don't really know that it works at all. Maybe the people who's plants are dying are dying from it not working and the mites are continuing to do damage?

ok...feeling a little better

no man, it wont do a thing...i use this when im outdoors and you can spray over the foliage only in veg though...

but works well to keep the pesky critters away

if i understood you correctly,

the microherd in your soil are all the beneficial bacteria(mycorizae) and symbiotic relationships between them and your roots... keep them happy and your plants will be extremely happy...

Cool..thanks guys--+rep for you both! I figured out how

you can use blackstrap molasses to feed your microherd, 1tbsp per gallon of water
