De is useless once it gets wet. It stops working when wet. Juts clumps up. It stains leaves too. Beneficial predators don't do shit here. I've wasted money on them in the past. Even lady bugs don't do much.

I just need stable genetics.

Im gonna assume you've already tried systemics like SNS? They're the only thing Ive found that seem to get decent results.

I doubt he would.use them being 100% living organics. Ive used take down spray on vegging plants. De has almost no chance of getting wet if your not.top watering or spraying.

I also use:
Spinosad
Bt
Peppermint soap
Lemon grass oil
Diluted isopropyl
Green clean

Switching up every 3-4 days usually does them all in after a 2-3 week offensive. Lol

Your right mo... But I am highly opposed to any bugs in my indoor grow. Lol. Outdoor is a different story. Lol. I have quite a few lizards on the property, I'm hoping they come hang out in the greenhouse and control bugs lol

Does anyone have pest issues with slymer. It's been attracting white flies like crazy. I've sprayed and sprayed and vacuumed them out of the air. They only go to that strain / plant. Everyday there's hundreds of white flies on it. I remove it and there's no white flies in that room. It's just slymer. I'm probably going to toss it. .pretty much any strain I've ran by tga has had pest issues. Except 9lb and quantum but quantum not tga anymore. . I'm over tga gear. They just can't handle desert environments

I haven't had any issues with mine yet. I will be sure to watch it close when she goes outside.

Not sure how ur able to get PM here? I have never had it. Only on outdoor stuff in shade all year do I see it.

That is exactly what I keep thinking "How do I get PM in Southern California when it is so hot and dry. Never had it before and never thought it would be possible.

Looks like a TGA has some weak strains when it comes to PM. One of our Ripped Bubba plants even got it from the Slymer. Never tried the lemon water technique. How did you use it? We have been using alkaline water lately.

Only PM I ever got in the sun was on Ace of Spades and Marion Berry - both TGA. I gave them a few mists of lemon water and they cleared right up.

Lemongrass oil will treat PM. So will diluted h2o2. You need more fresh air circulation. A box fan like I have in my tents blowing straight down on the light and plants will make it damn near impossible for PM to get a foothold. Bleach your tent.

I think it is in the strains from Oregon originally. I mix a quarter cup of bottled lemon juice per five gallon bucket. So I guess squeeze a slice of lemon juice in a spray bottle of water. It is what Dave from Weeden (rhymes with eden) in Oregon uses for foliar to make his plants healthy.

He uses it regardless of PM being present?

Going to enhance the airflow with a bigger fan today, thanks SG!

Hey SG, for the past few days the induction light hasn't been coming on after it has turned off for the night. I have to unplug it and plug it back in then it turns on. It is strange because the timer it is plugged into works fine so there I'm not sure if it is electrical or if it is the light.

Mmm. I just thought is was my timer... Lol. Is yours a digital timer? I switched to a mechanical timer and it was working so I figured bad digital timer... Lol. Oops.

Not sure if it could be the ligh... Maybe ballast.. There are no real connections on the fixture. Lol. It's so cut and dry.
