??? Oh did a google thanksGet some pure crop.
Yep I second the pure crop 1 suggestion I thought it was another yank gimmick but nope she works well it does as a weekly preventative spray anyway dunno bout killing an actual infestation as I haven’t had 1 touchwood prevention is key with any bugs and for that the pure crop works a treat it’s pretty pricey though but it also stops all molds and mildews in its tracks they say u can spray the day before harvest and it tests clean I haven’t tried the spraying the flowers thing as I stop all sprays at budding time but if I got a bad bug problem in flower that’s what I’d useGet some pure crop.
Lost coast plant therapy works for me.Yep I second the pure crop 1 suggestion I thought it was another yank gimmick but nope she works well it does as a weekly preventative spray anyway dunno bout killing an actual infestation as I haven’t had 1 touchwood prevention is key with any bugs and for that the pure crop works a treat it’s pretty pricey though but it also stops all molds and mildews in its tracks they say u can spray the day before harvest and it tests clean I haven’t tried the spraying the flowers thing as I stop all sprays at budding time but if I got a bad bug problem in flower that’s what I’d use
Well I can only go from experience as I said I only use it as a preventative not a cure my plants in veg actually seem to like it n I never get mold or bugs could be luck who knows?Lost coast plant therapy works for me.
Tried pure crop and it did not do anything for aphids or mites. Also browned pistils at week 4. Heard of other having issues as well.
I made the mistake of raising the seeds out in the garden then bringing them in to the tent. (never again) So I imported the crap from my garden. It only takes one fertile female . Came in on the plant or in the soil. Most likely in the potting mix as the ones in hydro coco didn't cop as much. For now I wash all buds as I harvest. Have already sanitised the drying tent. As soon as all finished I will sanitise the grow room ( a couple of times) Not sure about the led light yet Might take it outside and use compressed air.mate, you have had some serious pest related setback this run. How's your proximity to gardens or are you in and out of other overgrown areas? Apart from flat mites once and the odd gnat I've never had any pests inside over close to three years. I did however have my fair share of battles with pillars and false mites outside.
I'd be sussing out reasons for consistent influx of pests as I'd hate to see further issues as your first effort was stellar. Judging by your effort your second grow will be amazing and I'd hate to see more pest issues dissuade a keen grower from success..
Hope it all pulls together and you get a flawless run second time around, but I'd be looking for reasons for pest influx as they shouldn't be making their way inside that often (however I don't actually know where your tent is set up).
When it comes to pest treatment, I'm old-school and generally use citric acid, potassium sorbate and Castile soap as the ingredients are cheap.
Ahhh the good old outside to inside. That'll do it.I made the mistake of raising the seeds out in the garden then bringing them in to the tent. (never again) So I imported the crap from my garden.
