no.....BT is going to be sprayed on my girls tonight, too.
BT won't hurt my mantids or other beneficial insects will it?
no.....
Now is the time to be ruthless....hit them with everything you got. It only get's harder from here...Good luck, your plants are looking awesome. If you keep the bugs off of them and you're in for a sweet harvest....
I'm on them 24/7 til they're done.Now is the time to be ruthless....hit them with everything you got. It only get's harder from here...Good luck, your plants are looking awesome. If you keep the bugs off of them and you're in for a sweet harvest....
Great news...My garden is clean now. No more russet mites. The forbid worked great. Thanks for all the information everyone.
Thanks bro, I liberally spread DE all around the chicken coop & the ground where the chickens dust bath....Hey JJ - check this out:

That's great Mohican...thanks I sprayed all over the ground with the Neem the other day too lol@fumble - I have even sprayed right up until harvest. Doesn't smell very good though. Make sure you spray your surrounding garden and ground. The budworms will drop down from the trees.
Once you have this routine down you should be able to go the last month of flower without any caterpillars.
Last round I didn't spray anything after veg and then I hung the plants up to dry outside in the carport. Every day there would be 20 new tiny caterpillars hanging by their silk from the plants. If I had sprayed one more time half way in flower I don't think they would have been stopped. I didn't spray because I thought spring was too early to get caterpillars.
I am basing these findings on a spring crop though, and I am not sure whether the caterpillar cycle is the same for summer/fall.
I've called a "Broken Arrow"......spraying all these chemicals you guys are HACKS!
Why not?...you'll never have a better chance then now. It's only a few pennies (er..quid, pence...whatever)....crikey good luck.while on spraying question to ask....where I live its mainly spider mites I deal with so no big problem if I stay on it...I havnt placed the seedling in its final resting spot yet but my question is ,should I treat the ground area and say 2 metre radius of the hole with treatment now (once the rain goes away and temps pick up again next week or so) ? just want to be on top of the mites this year and not give them a chance to even show up
CRIKEY bloody pennies and quid are UK you fly blown mongrel...Hahahaha,done ill start spraying the area as soon as this rain is forecast to piss off for a week.im so glad I got onto rui and you gramps and co ive never been more prepared..like I said its all bout quality for me wouldn't worry me if it was 8 ounces so long as its one hit shit...STONE THE FLAMING CROWS GET A GANDER OF THOSE MELONSWhy not?...you'll never have a better chance then now. It's only a few pennies (er..quid, pence...whatever)....crikey good luck.
So let's see your grow..spraying all these chemicals you guys are HACKS!
