Mixing Diatomaceous Earth with water and applying via spray

Has anyone had any success doing this?

For what?

For what?

Thrips on leaves.

I doubt that will work unless using as a preventive measure. Works mainly on critters because it cuts them up. It won't wipe out an active infestation.

It isn't that bad "yet", was just hoping to slow them down until i'm done flowering. I just ordered a duster on amazon hopefully that works. Any suggestions on how to wipe them out of my flower room once the crop is done?

The guy down the road here had to literally take one of those fog bombs, shut the house totally and set it off. Then a few days later repeated it to catch what had hatched since. He had tried Neem oil and spinosad both.

I actually considered picking up a fog bomb.

He tried ladybugs (only for aphids and they have to fly for awhile before they eat), predator mites. Persistent little shits.

Spinosad didn't work?

 

[hotrodharley]

Clean.

I posted a link for him. You're right.

I think my neighbor had multiple infestations . Vegging in a greenhouse , flowered inside in a tent. He literally shut down. Cleaned. Started again.

Keep things clean. Garden clothes. Regularly use pyrethrin and spinosad as a preventative instead of a response. Everything in veg gets hit with spinosad before flower. New plants are quarantined. Keep things clean.

I've dealt with my fair share of these bastards.

I'm pretty paranoid about my grow areas and plants. After my last harvest I bleached the entire grow area. I did 3 treatments of neem oil before putting them into flower. I fucking kept getting these bastards and it's too far into flower to do much about it now.

4 tbsp DE to 1 gallon water, mix well, put into a sprayer. Mist over and under side of leaves, mist don't go for dripping wet. Allow it to dry as DE is only effective dry. It'll leave a thin layer of DE on leaves.

Will it work on thrips? One way to find out.

It doesn't hurt to try. Thanks man.

He stopped taking in outside plants or clones. From other people

Won't you just end up with De in your buds?
