you guys wouldnt have any info on "doctor doom" bug bomb. ive got spidermites, and i was just wondering if i had to leave the house and shit when i use it... or just throw it in the basemant(my op) and turn the furnace off... kus im not trying to empty the fridges out, and etc... thanks in advance.. Pe@ce...
so i swear by 100% neem oil... its not a spot killer so dont expect imediate results.. here how it works
1)messes with hormones so adults cant reproduce and younger mites never reach full maturity to even start producing
2)it suffocates eggs
3)they dont like the taste so it deters them from sucking on your plants..
i like this because you make your own spray.. i use some biodegradeable dish soap, non scented, as an imulsifier.. make sure you thoroughly spray the tops and bottoms of the leaves and all other plant surfaces and top soil.. you can also root feed with neem so it can work from the inside the plant if you missed any...
expect about a 2 week battle... after a week you'll see drastic results.. after 2 they are gone... my personal regiment is this..
day 1 - spray very very well at lights out... if you are running 24/0 make sure the lights are moved away from the plants to ensure your plants dont get burned..
day 2 or 3 - whenever i water next, which is every 2 or 3 days, i will add neem oil to my water, along with my normal nutes, and again some dish soap as an imulsifier, and water normally... neem oil also has trace elements and nutes that your plants need so it is ok/good to feed your plant...
day 4 - spray at lights out
day 5 or 6 - water with neem
day 7 - spray
day 8/9 - water
day 10 - spray
day 11/12 - water
day 13 - spray
day 14/15 - water
i have never had an ill side effects from my plants doing this... no burn.. maybe a little bit of yellowing... but nothing bad... and it has always done the trick... i dont use neem oil after the 4th week of flower as a spray because i worry about mold and fungus... but you can root feed.. i used something called FUNGICIDE3 that says it can be used up to day of harvest on a small problem i had last night... went over board and used an entire bottle on my plants.. and didnt have any side affects from that either.. and it killed everything... no more bugs... i dont know about any other products to tell you how they work though... hope this helps..
id switch to a straight up cfl system it produces way less heat im sayin like a few 45 watters is all you really need man ditch those hps's
your jokin right?
