i use ladybugs all yr. long. i know where there are several nests, so i just go get them. call me lame but i wont but pyrethrins on my plantsit gets very hot and very dry here. so they(SD)seem to come around every yr. i think i will be able to control the problem, if not cure it. Last yr. they didnt get here till almost harvest, so i just went and got a bunch of ladybugs and went down everynight and misted them. buds turnd out super crystaly. and super sweet. i think a few mites at the end arnt so bad. now as for having them now, i want to scream.i will look up this Azatrol. ty for the advice! you guys are awsome

looks amazing keep it upSo these are mt girls! I planted late because we had late frost up here(june 15th). But they are getting big. Hope you all love them as much as i do!![]()
It's pretty gross but a feed made of water+neem+tobacco juice really does wonders for bug control. Tobacco kills any bugs in the soil and the neem is taken up systemically. Using this in combination with bi weekly sprays I've been able to keep the spider mites at bay here in inland empire ( hoooooot and dry, lil fuckers love it here )
Neems a pain in the ass but I can't stress enough how helpful it is if used properly.
yes they do. they are awsome lil bugs!so the ladybugs eat the spider mites?
heres a few more to drool after![]()
Oh my! Picture #3 made me drool so much I had to take a cold shower.
Do you had trim ur girls girl
im pretty sure azatrol is pretty much what is in neem oil... Azadirachtin. watering it into the soil is much more effective than foliar spraying. atleast with what i saw. i know it can be easier to foliar spray when u have good size farms or greenhouses, but it really soaks into the plant through the soil. i just make sure to get rid of everything because i try not to let any gnarly chems touch my babies
and dont use tobacco! how many harmful additives are there in tobacco.......? IMHO i wouldnt put that shit near my crops
Do you hand trim ur girls girl
I understand not wanting pyrethins, but do look into Azatrol. As for the ladybugs, there is a predetaor mite that will work faster and kill every egg/mite around. Here is a great link to read about and order from. There are many places to purchase them, this was the cheapest. http://www.kalyx.com/store/proddetail.cfm/ItemID/676193/CategoryID/12000/SubCatID/2560/file.htm
