Yea ive been readin up on allot of different sites an not just on weed plants an it all looks to be broad mites. Im hoping i can beat it with sprays might see if i can find miticide or something at bunnings as i reckon itll take to long to order something off the net. Maybe even a good cpl 40degree days as ive read they die from being exposed to high temps seems a long shot as it gets hot as fk round here an it still looks like i got them..
Dont wanna chop all me plants as its to late to start again..
Cheers for the help anyway Ozy, bit of luck i beat the fuckers if it is brd mites

Best of luck m8. I’ll send out some positive vibes to the canna gods for you.

Since your outdoors you probably won’t get rid of them with just spraying (or at all) if the populations are bad hit them with some eco oil or neem oil to get the number down then go with beneficial predators. Spread the predators around your whole place not just around the plants and try get the numbers up so they deal with the nasty pricks for you.

Edit: I like to go with at least 2 species of predators, spread/release each one every 2-3 weeks and staggering the species. Ie 1 week release predator 1, next week predator 2, week 3 have a break and repeat etc

I agree with @reza92 since your wanting to fight them and save your crop. Go get the neem, eco neem from Bunnings and start straight away tonight, and order your predators.

I know I said it not worth the predators if using neem, and that was only based your timing to get out there last night and hit them. The predators won’t eat your plants.

 

[OzyM8]

anyone use these

Yep. I’ve used canna for years now. Coco for Coco, Aqua for recirculating , and classic for hydro dtw.

Order some IPM spray from OGS Australia. IMO...best organic stuff on the market here. And use it regularly during veg, I try and use it once a week..just follow instructions on the container.

All though it sounds the goods an you have probs have had good results from it. I reckon i wouldn get it till middle next week cause of where im at. Ill have to hit the plants with wat i can get locally untill i can get ahold of the IPM. Such as neem mavrik an some sort of miticide providided at old bunnings

 

[OzyM8]

$50 + I think about $7 postage.

Lasts me a looooong time. Touch wood I’ve been preventative for years. + I’m a clinically clean nutter.

Wowzers that’s expensive. Is that all you use?

Yes, that’s all I use, other than the small square yellow sticky traps in the coco the Mums are in, and that’s a preventative too in case I’m brining something new in.

I even hit the ornamentals and outside garden with stuff.....bugs hate my place

Not worried about pests building a resistants especially the dreaded spider mite?

 

[OzyM8]

Not worried about pests building a resistants especially the dreaded spider mite?

Absolutely. I’ll go without anything for some runs depending on the time of year.
I won’t even step into my room without a shower n clean clothes first if that gives you any insight to what I’m like.
