As long as you use full strength it definitely is. The way spinosad works is it's derived from a bacteria, it coats your leaves so everytime those bastards bite into a leaf they drop dead.

It also works on thrips! Sometimes though, you'll give your ladies a spray and you'll notice a few mites walking around, as long as you've covered your plant when you sprayed have no worries they'll end up dying anyway but to be on the safe side spray the first time, then spray again 3 days later and spray one final time 3 days after that.

As far as spraying in flower goes, I've had an incident where mites didn't show up until week 3 of flower and they infested FAST! This was my fault as I didn't take any preventative steps to keep them from ever showing up. I ended up spray week 3, didn't see them again til about week 7 or 8 then I was spraying on and off til the day before harvest. It wont damage your buds, just make sure your room is well vented.

I wouldn't recommend neem oil though unless you're going to be VERY careful as thc is not water soluble but it is an oil and gets easily washed off with other oils!!

thanks alot man ya i sprayed my shit down with azatrol week 4 now im at week 6 and i havent seen ONE up till today and my headband had at least 50 of them with webs and all i need to kill these bitches there just annoying my plants growin out fine tho...

what should i do during flowering to kill these fuCKs

I haven't used azatrol during flower so I don't know if I could recommend it.

What I would do is spray your fan leaves with the monterey insect spray (+ a wetting agent), try to avoid the buds as much as possible, though I haven't seen anything bad happen before but my room conditions and the type of sprayer I use doesn't apply to everybody's grow and conditions. Make sure to spray with lights off and coat the leaves and stems as much as possible.

Considering the fact that you're so far into flower already you're not going to be able to drench the plants the way you would in veg, so the spinosad is only going to work as a means of population control. It will kill them and will slow them down but the lack of coverage simply wont get every single one of them. For example you'd want to spray today(2/14/12, three days from today(2/17/12) then three days after that(2/20/12) and that should keep you covered for a couple of weeks.

Also I cannot emphasize on this enough, always use FULL strength!! 60ml/gal.

thanks alot man! ya 60 ml a gal ? dammmmm thats kind of a lot dont u think to one gallon ??

No problem dude.

60ml/gal is the recommended dose on the bottle, that's the dose I give every single time. The last thing the community needs is for these mite to grow a tolerance to spinosad (by cutting short less than 60ml/gal). It works extremely well for a non chemical solution and I'd be pissed if they grow tolerant to spinosad . You can always do 15ml/liter (average spray bottle from hardware stores are about 1liter) if you don't want to waste any.

If you're worried and want to test, make a 15ml/liter mix of the spray and try it on a plant and wait a week. I can guarantee absolutely no adverse affects but you can try it for your own piece of mind.

Also, always remember to add a wetting agent! I do 1-2ml/gal of wet betty.

i would always recommend plant vitality plus to any1 for any bug problems. its amazing stuff. its about 10GBP for 50ml and it dilutes to 2L then spray away and drown the little bastards. this stuff is really amazing, during my last grow i went away for a week and when i came back i had aphids, white fly and spider mites. 1 spray of this and everything was gone, no exagerration. i gave it another go just to make sure but im sure that wasnt necessary. also PVP brought my weary looking girls 2 full health litterally over night. its like a foliar feed aswell, it breathes fresh life in2 them and they looked extremely healthy.

 

[KUShSOurSMOKEr]

could u use in flower? how did u have all the pests? fuck did u have run off and leaves by ur plants or what?

 

[weedzweed]

i would use it in flower for definate because it only seemed to do good things for my girls and even if it did affect the smoke (which i really cant see happening) its better than having no smoke at all if the fuckers kill ur girls, and the guy in the shop, who i can say is like a weed guru never mentioned not using it during flower.
basically i left my mom in charge for a week and she had been letting my dog in2 my bedroom 2 sleep on my bed, which happened 2 be right next 2 my intake fan for my grow tent, this is more than likely where they all came from what with the dog going in the garden and for walks everyday the bitch is like a walking fucking bug factory ha. and as for my mom, i felt like spraying her in the eyes with the PVP aswell haha.
