Ok fumblez, since you have seen my plants .. and you know they got no pm no spidy mites
al let you kno my secret, well really not a secret but what eva, so i grow in the bushes.. like straight up forest lolz, and this makes for a perfect home for almost every pest you can think of. i got every thing from moles to pm aphids blight i mean name it i got it. but all my veggies and Mj (the zuks are an exeption am the one that fucked up
) .
well the idea is not to kill the pests, cuz for example spidy mites . they have a rep for there resistance . and using straight up poison to killem will only make em stronger ( you can google that BTW)
you have to make your plant undesirable, how do you do that .. well some choices are , neem oil/extract baking soda, dish soap, sulfur (garlic pepper and onions) ive herd of ppl using cinnamon as well
so the soap and the baking soda are mostly for Pm and any other fungai u run into, basically they make it impossible for the spores to grow, but since there is unlimited Pm spores outside you have to do it daily, You have to take advantage of Pm's weakness which is, it needs a perfect environment , high humidity (but not wet) perfect temp range and perfect Ph , so the baking soda actually changes the Ph of the leaves drastically making the environment un fit. but again you have to do it every morning when there is high humidity outside, this works so well some people i kno swear that even just drenching the leaves in the morning with just water will make pm un able to grow on your leaves during the time when it can. when the sun is out Especially in a green house or under rain stoppers the temp get high and pm literally dies when leaf temp is 95 f or above . so morning and fogy days are the bad days.
ok spidy mites, same deal you can't kill them all so, the idea is to make your plant un fit to live on. but un like pm a simple Ph change will not mess with mites. you need sulfr . its dangerously poisonous to them so they can't eat any thing thats high in sulfur so when you spray down your leaves they either starve to death or leave, and the eggs that come after also can't stay so your plant stays mite less
this is only out doors tho i get why ppl use chemicals indoors cuz once you nuke the place there is no where else for the pests to come from exept maybe you or your tools .
this will also save you the cost of the poisons , and also take into consideration unlike indoor where you only need nuke every once in a while out door you have to do it all the time and you have to smoke this shit after so... who wants to be smoking sionide or arsenic or any thing even closely related .
any way you can try this and if it don't work you can keep buying stuff
the mixes are a lil like this
for Pm 1ts Baking soda (and if you really got it every where like me you can add 1ts (liquid dish soap ) to every 1 gall
mites Pepper,garlic,onions/cinnamon. you boil it and use the water (when it cools lolz) and that gives you lots of sulfur also the chemical that makes chilli peppers hot also is a pest deterrent (that's why peppers don't ever get any thing ) and again if you think its not enough you can ad 1ts of dish soap to every gallon of the boiled stuff for extra umff
WARNING!! Baking soda and dish soap burn your leaves if there too concentrated, and every plant has a diff sensitivity ( not just species even strains) so the first time you make any of them with baking powder or soap make sure you spray a leaf the day before to check how it responds.
with the neem oil the main pest deterrent is not sulfur and i don't dabble with it much cuz it takes too long but you can get that info some where else LOL
(and if you made it this far sorry for the long rant )
