lady bugs

do lady bugs work for a plant or against it? i have seen them used for flowers and other plants, but i didnt know if they were a pothead insect like fucking caterpillars

they eat aphids

bugs that you dont want in your grow room, such as spider mites, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, many more many more.. im stoned

lady bugs are a good thing, something you'd definatly want to see on your plants.

Just spray em' with some sugar water-to harden the wings-so they don't fly away or burn up when they fly towards your HID.

thanks i was wondering how i keep them around, someone said dump them in your neighbors yard and theyll find their way, but ill try sugar water

They are great I have tons here look... See 'em?

Yeah; those lady bugs are great just be careful because they breed and multiply like crazy. If they start to get out of hand just use a shopvac or the suction hose on your vacuum cleaner and suck them up, then just released them outside AWAY from your house; you dont want them making a home under your siding. Also Praying Mantis are great two.

I had a spider and a browing lady bug in my grow

What kind of spider, because spiders are not harmful to your grow, except for the fact that they may eat your lady bugs. Spiders do not eat plants, SPIDER MITES do!

Yeah those fuckers are terrable like everything else from Asia. You can tell the difference because lady bugs are red with black spots and Japanese bettles are yellow with spots.

The ones you need to watch are the '28 spot' ladybugs. They chew on the surface of your leaves. However, I've never seen those types eat cannabis before. They seem to love Eggplant though.
