teaspoon of neem oil per litre of water, emulsify with a little non perfumed washing up liquid, shake well before and during use, fine spray pots, earth, stems and leaves under and over plus grow area, do again in 4-5 days.........will keep them off

Follow those directions and you should be fine... Might wanna raise your humidity up some as mites hate humid enviroments

i got a bottle of No Spider Mites and it seems to be doing good for me. it cost me $30(expensive IMO) but its non toxic and you just spray it on and leave it air dry

im sure you know you need to mix in the washing up liquid to make the neem mix with water, tepid water is best, it ends up looking milky...

Wouldnt be wasting my time.
Anyways I aint being a dick but still dont know what your talking about.
Its just I have no clue about that just yet(only 18 bro).
Im down to learn tho

Get the neem oil for sure, check to see if you can get a wetting agent, that is what it is called wetting agent. Mix that with the neem oil and spray the undersides of the leaves. With that said it does not work like an incecticide it kind of drowns the adults in oil but you have to stay diligent as the larve will hatch and they are right back. Mites are my worst fear fyi. They are a bitch to get rid of. Dont be using poisoins on your plant you are going to have to smoke it at some point. lol

They ruined one of my plants in like 3 days, was a great plant. Also do you have a microscope, 30x you can get one for like 15 bucks. It pays to just check your leaves every now and then to make sure you dont have pests. Better to find them before they ruin the crop.

You could just spray plain old 70% rubbing alcohol on your plants every 3 days until you stop seeing bugs.

Neem oil is great!!!! Apply every 4 or 5 days .... 3 applications. Don't mess around they will devastate quickly. :fire:

ch3mical420 · May 30, 2012

i dont have access to neem oil atm! :S
Im stuck....this sucks i checked my babies before after spraying with that shit yesterday!!
they looking all curly and dryish..

i opened my reservoir and it looked all bubbly and foamy like soap or something was in there!!
was not a normal thing i see when i usually open my res!!! :S

the only other pesticides i have are chemical ones!! pictures bellow, they contain maldison

In some of the grow shops here you have to ask for it because its kept under the counter. Here's why.

Neem oil 1 L = €10 0.5% dilute ( 5 ml / litre ) makes 200 litres at full dose !!!! (I use 1-2 ml usually as a preventative measure and for watering, more if there's a problem).

On the shelf commercial sprays (which burn ur plant) 1 L = €16 - €20. Big sales for the shop and a big waste for you.

Make ur own spray next time. It's cheaper and safer.You can even get Neem on Ebay (straight from India if u like !) Add ONLY ONE DROP OF WASHING LIQUID JUST TO CUT IT AS OIL AND WATER DON'T MIX)

ch3mical420 · May 30, 2012

I totally understand and agree!! Did not purchase these things! they were in the shed for other uses! and thought i might have a cure in the shed!!

i have not seen neem oil anywhere on shelf.. i will ask next time.
is there anything i can do in the time being!

continue spraying with water?
also what is the foliage water best ph'd at?

And the soapy/foamy looking bubbles in my reservoir are freaking me out kind of.
would that be from the spray going down into the res??

will it kill them?

could just grow rosemary next to the plant, raise the temp and don't let plants touch if infected with the little shits. but rosemary works for me, time after time. takes a bit longer than sprays, but you don't ruin your medicines taste or make it cancerous through poisons. Neem works too but takes daily scrubbing to be effective in my experience.
