beetle doing his job

[dagobaker]

ok although i lost most of them due to ups leaving them in their truck another day for no reason i managed to have 1 or 2 in each grow room and tent........they seem to work slow but very precise.......im not 100% spider mite free but they have given me the upper hand and ill make sure all the new plants are free and the perpetual grow will be fine after another cycle

You only put 2 ladybugs in a room? You probably aren't going to see many results.

i spread about 100 ladybugs among all the grow rooms but most of them didnt make it
its -10 degrees in ohio and i lost a ton of them......point is that even a few of them can do a world of difference
spraying in the past was a pain....i just put a few of them in there and they do the work

Oh, cool dude. I've always wanted to do this, but I thought it would be a mess indoors in my grow box. Let us know how it works.

beetles work great......main problem is shipping them and when i get their wings they fly into the light.....so u need to start with more than u eventually will need
i plan on breeding them myself for the greenhouse grow this summer

Damn, and I thought they were going to be a nuisance but I must be lucky my place got infested with them this year.

I love ladybugs... I put them in every so often and they are a blessing.

they sell bags by the 1000 for like 5 bucks at most nurseries or grow stores.. remember to release them during the night cycle
