You’d be better off buying predatory mites than lady beetles. Main reason being lady beetles diet consists mainly of aphids than it does spider mites. Other reason being it’s hard to keep them on your plants without spraying them with some sugary water to stick their wings and that only lasts for a day or two before they fly straight into lights and frazzle themselves.

So why are you still having mite problems?? Did u decide to only use the eco neem? I did mention that eco neem will only control their numbers once established but u won’t erradicate them. Hose and a CONTACT KILLER is what u need. But then again what would I know hey

I got some predatory mites on order, I’ll be ok til then, and I’m not flowering anything for a month or so, neem is controlling them but won’t kill them completely. Im just lucky they didn’t spread to the flower tent. Whole room will be getting bleached and wiped down. Once I have my harvest in jars I’m going to focus on pest control

Enjoy mate. I'm skint and got no babysitter lol, guess I'll smoke cones kick back, for something different

Im having a boring night..wasn't even going to have a cone but im over the inlaws and im a crabby fk...so..off to the shed I go.

I’ll have some predator mites Friday and they say it’s safe to use eco neem or eco oil beforehand. So I’ll give it a go sprinkle a teaspoon under each infected plant, apparently it takes 3 weeks for a population to establish itself. See how it goes... should kill them and what they just die once all the mites die off

Pretty sure that predatory mites are like a. Long term solution. Not sure you will see the immediate benefits. I don't know a massive amount about them tho.

blue dream'matic, really wish I had given it another week or so. Got my veg tent all setup today with a 2x2 flood table. Got my 3 Dreamcatcher clones in there ready for one of them to become a mother plant.

I believe they kill the mites pretty quickly and then die or move off. A few growers use them in their pest control regime.
I hope they don't turn out to be a cane tad or fruit fly problem. Do we have native ones?

Their a bit like mine from memory. Largish but no density to them. I think they need a heap of light... Seeing Bongs buds makes me want more light sooo bad.

Yeah there are native ones I looked into a couple of months ago

They will kill them all, I’m gonna read alittle on them, but just don’t want any going into the next flower cycle, but 63 delivered I’m pretty happy with that. Gonna put up some ultrasonic pest control thing see if it works wAs only 15 dollars, give it a go might work.

I got a little handheld 12v wet/dry vacuum for them too by the time I chuck these into flower They will be extinct from my room
