Spinosad works fairly well, but you need a multi-pronged approach. I'd recommend nematodes, spinosad, and an Azamax drench... I've had them, they are THE motherfucking scourge for sure. Far worse than spider mites.Damn...never heard that before...thank you so much. That makes me feel good.
On another note. Which one of you regulars runs Ebb and Flow? I know one of you posts regular on that thread. I need some advice. We just bought the CAP Ebb n Flow Bucket System to try out. It looks like the most mobile system out there...meaning I can move the plants around easily. That has always been my biggest complaint about the "real" hydro systems...that the plants are in a fixed location. I also don't like miles of tubing going everywhere. This system seems to have addressed those issues. I don't know why I haven't taken a look at this before.
My wife is giving me shit about the amount of landfill trash we generate with rockwool. Since we're trying to design the grow op to be at least halfway enviro friendly, the rockwool may have to go. Bummer. I love it. But, at this scale, there's alot of rockwool being used and tossed. Even Capitolist Me is starting to feel some enviro-guilt.
PLUS, the root aphids storming Cali grows have arrived here. They wiped out Commercial J's last crop. 20 Lbs down the drain at 5 weeks. I've heard they are easier to control with hydro systems. Right now the aphids are just in the plants I'm flushing...no big deal. But, if they get into the other tray, I'm fucked. Anyone kn ow what to use on them?
also, my inbox is cleaned up now...
