Bud's in jars. Nothing growing but late veg and mom, no active flowers.

Time for the spring bug bombing and subsequent spring cleaning (yeah I know it's still winter for 99% of you.) To hell with eco friendly, flower friendly IPM, just bomb the whole damned house at once.

I swear the whole damned SE US is nothing but one big ant hill, hopefully this forces them back into the ground. I also think I saw a white-fly last night in living room, no prisoners!

Spider mites are the bane of my existence. I thought aphids were bad...

Never had them inside. I had a colony tent a bush on the street side of my yard. I literally set it on fire and sat back and watched them burn while holding the garden hose in my own little religious experience. Then I took the coals of that bush and sent them to the county landfill the next day. Toxified the entire yard. A few months later the bush decided it wasn't going to die and started growing back, years later no new spider mites on the burning bush.

Only bug I've ever had in the grow was fungus gnats that came home in the cheap ass soil from Wal-Mart almost 8 years ago. I bug bomb the house on a 6 month cycle to keep ants and roaches out. When it starts hitting around 80°F, the subtropical bugs are all awake and looking for food.

I've had white flies, aphids, and mites. You would have thought after dealing with the aphids I wouldn't have brought any plants into the house from outside. Didn't see them on a pepper plant I brought in until they migrated to my vegg closet.

Yeah, I could see some Lowe's / public nursery plants bringing home unwanted guests, my mom got PM across her entire back yard, almost wiped out $2500 in landscaping she'd done.

I don't bring plants into the house at all. Any for-fun plants go in the back yard, I'll stick them in pro-mix throw a few packets of bennificials at them and wish them the best of luck. Even when I worked at the distillation grow and lived among Bhang Cannabis aphids, spider mites, and more mold than I thought was possible; when I got home I stripped naked in the garage and wrapped in a towel before running to the shower. That experience left me scarred for life. I see every animal, human, floating piece of dust as a possible vector carrying a plant contaminant.
