    NEEM OIL for Life!

    I spray my plants once a week with Neem, with a pressure sprayer..just blast the heck out them, tops and bottom. However once buddage starts forming I just use water and use it sparingly. Last 4 weeks of flowering..nothing but a rare light misting. I live where it's super dry and mold has...

    9 1/2 weeks into flowering and thrips just showed up

    Lady bugs are useless against adult Thrips..though they may eat larva. Keep using Thrips strips...fill the room with them. Keep the top layer of soil disturbed down to at least an inch. Pour a layer of playground sand on top of the soil. Increase fan speeds on plants. Keep room spotless. Vacuum...

    Aphids and aphid sheddings at harvest. What should I do?

    Ughh... No bugs in jugs. The ladybugs will leave fecal matter and dead bodies just like the Aphids. Your freezing shock treatment is a good idea...I would also try and vacuum them off. If you haven't chopped them down to just buds yet...just try shaking them off while the vacuum is...
