Vegg 24/0? Then ladybugs are your answer! (I hope)

I veg around the clock. It is how I relax. Checking on the girls. Hehe.

Today at the garden store I bought a container of ladybugs. They are breeding also. I released about a quarter of the containr in the 4x4x7 grow tent I have. They got to work. About 15 went to the light, lol, and 30 or so went to the plants and the dirt and just hanging around and screwing. For real screwing.

They are awesome to watch as they wander over the leaves. They will eat everything bad, from spidermites to nats. I will not have to worry about neem oil burning my plants,


If you veg 24/0 spraying your plants is hard as any liquid burns the plants from the light like a magnyfing glass.


They do fine with the big fan pulling 430 cfms through the filter then the hood. They dont do so well yet with the oscilating fan, but it can go off for alittle while. I think they will get used to it. They found the trees.

Sounds like it would work.
I wouldn't want ladybugs flying out of my grow tent everytime I open it, though.

By the way, they're actually called ladybirds. I didn't know this til like a week ago.

Haha! Not sure how true that really is, but its fucking hilarious!

I've never used ladybugs because I am totally indoors, and I was thinking the same thing about everytime you open the tent they will fly out. And I'm sure the cats would love to watch them fly!

Let us know how it goes with these. Would of loved to of tried it on my last crop that got spidermites. They are a bitch to get rid of.

they work like a charm. they actually dont fly out.


also they dont ever quit fucking. I think it is fucking. one walks while the other rides on its back.

at first they thought the glass on the light hood was their home, some did most went straight to the green. So i turned the oscilating fan onto the glass and they flew off. They crawl all over the plants looking for food. as far as I know no bugs yet.

they are perfect. seriously.
