I've always sprayed need oil every other week on all of my plants during veg. the mosquito dunk monthly is a new thing I'm trying to prevent a re-infestation of fungus gnats I had them bad a month ago (they went systemic), never want to go through that again.
I grow in promix with a 2" layer of perlite on top and bottom, again just preventative maintenance and making life harder on any bugs that enter my room. The neem oil is impossible to gain resistance to because it simply smothers and suffocates any live bugs and makes it extremely difficult for bugs to eat leaves with the oil sheen on all the leaves.
I've never had mites before but I've heard they are nightmares to deal with so I heard from a old friend grower that neem is the best preventative spray you can use. been using it since I started growing and never had mites so I figure there has to be something to that.
Yes, I too am excited about LPB, heard many many good things about glad's cut in particular.
dude don't bother with that neem oil crap, or any of that other stuff that everyone says works. I've learned the hard way that the only thing that is effective is avid. nuclear warfar gets the job done without messing around. every plant that comes from the outside should be dunked top to bottom upon arrival, than again just prior to flipping.
and I'm just finishing a run of those same LPB's, and I'm telling you that you need to support every single cola from the start with a cage or a pole on each branch. they will outweigh what they can hold very quickly. like I said, the mother your running from has daughters here and I've been growing 24 of those girls, so I know.
they can also take MASSIVE amounts of nutes, more than you would every think they should get. they eat that stuff like candy at the end, its unreal. i'm running an ec of 2.2 right now in the final week, but I do have well water, so some of that, not much, but some is the water. I believe that it is .8 in the summer from my well.
let me know if you have any questions about them as you go along bro.
An awesome blueberry flavor quite distinct from DJ's BlueBerry
. I'll hopefully be picking up a cut of this soon so it'll be nice to see what you do with it. Good luck on the grow.
