The Fireballs seem a little more resistant to the SM than the rest of em. The C99, Ghost, & cherry pie were covered with mites & damage, & the FB only had a few on lower growth. The BMS was the worst, growth had almost stopped, took some cuttings (late 4wks flr ), sevin'ed, then mighty washed & popped into the cloner, I dont know if they will take or not.
A 3yrs bug free run ends & so far a 5mo fight continues........

Bob I thought you beat them. :-( Have you tried spinosad yet. mix it heavy and spray then rinse after an hour. No lights on of course. How many products have you tried on them? Sevin will not kill mites BTW. Last time I beat them it was with the spinosad. I know rotating products help kill them off.

BTW two weeks in the cloner and FB1 is just barely rooting. Everything else has massive roots or has been transplanted. Its silly i have problems with this one and I like it so much.

I thought I had beat them also, but I kinda just ignored them as soon as I flipped em, been skiing mon tru fri, come home on the weekend to check shit.
My fault for being so lazy with em, snow has faded a bunch this week so Im home finally took a look, & damn !!

as for the FB not rooting, I don't know, they seemed to really root well for me, nubs at 7-9 daz & full roots by day 14 ?

the CP is my fav at the moment, took cuttings of it, BMS, & FB#1, & tossed into cloner, 4wks into flwr though so we will see.
I know Mighty Wash has worked for me in the past & CAN USE WELL INTO FLOWER (sorry for caps), any other suggestions this far in??

nope... You can use strong mix of spinosad on early flower or veggers. It will help but you must rinse if you mix it strong. The mighty wash is good stuff for in flower. Straight up water can be good too. take them into the shower and turn upside down and blast we water. Then do the mighty wash treatment after.

Happy Birthday! Did you get anything cool?

My C99 had all kinds of problems from mites and root aphids.

I washed the soil away from the roots and repotted in fresh Promix and kelp meal. She can't decide whether she is dying or living. I should go check now and see whether she kicked the bucket.

I started working on the screen-house again. I need to go to the lumber yard and get some more wood!


Cheers,
Mo

Out of all pests, mites are bad, but root aphids are the devil. I will take mites any day of the week over Root aphids :(

With mites, I have usually conquered them with neem spino alternating every 3 days. Have to break the life cycle, catch the eggs as they hatch before they are able to lay more eggs. The usual shit helps to, lower the temps, increase the air flow and make life tough for them. After 4-5 weeks IMO it just becomes nursing the plants till the end

They seem to be in soil too..
Neem in a water only waterin has helped me before.

Also you may want to up your silicone to dbl. If they cant eat thru the leaf they die :)

Maybe a nice bag of lady bugs ? Cudnt hurt and some biodegradable dish soap bath if not insecticidal...

Thanx for inviting me over to ur thread ! Ill say a prayer for you and your bug problem ;) send some angels your way to help the fight !!

Thot I wud post this fir ya from another forum...
"According to my organic gardening catalogue, ladybugs are introduced specifically to control aphids.
For red spider mites you need the predatory mitePhytoselius, available from organic gardening outlets."

But I have also read ladies do a good job. Mot juat for aphids..

topdress neem meal. Spray a mix of pro tekt and aloe Vera. Works better than any foliar mix. I inadvertently came up with that one about a month ago. Spraying a chocolate peppermint herb plant covered in mites. I sprayed the whole outdoor garden as beneficial foliar. Discovered it doubled as a big killer.

My thought process afterwards was well pro tekt has silica. No where near what diatomaceous earth has but should do the same thing.

then a few months ago. My cat had ear mites. He scratched the fuck out of his ear. I rubbed fresh aloe on his ear to heal the cuts. The next day the ear mites were gone. So the enzymes in aloe suppresses harmful pests and pathogens. Plus it suffocates the pests like soap does.
