I went through this on my 1st and 2nd grow.

I learned about predatory mites and tried it.

100% Solved! 100% highly recommended

CUCUMERIS
Appearance: Barely visible to the naked eye, although if you look hard enough you can see the predatory mites moving around. Under a microscope they are light brown, pear-shaped and rather cute.


Storage temperature: 10-15°C relative humidity 66-70%. Do not leave in a sealed container, as they breathe oxygen. DO NOT REFRIGERATE.

Target pests: Western flower thrips, onion thrips, bamboo and broad mites.

Optimum Release Conditions: are 20-25°C (68-77°F) with relative humidity 66-70%.

Notes: Gardeners are encouraged to use one slow-release pack per plant -- two for heavier infestations. Once they've run out of food, they will eat each other. They can also sustain themselves temporarily on pollen if it is available.

Cucumeris come packaged with bran mites as a temporary food source, and the bran mites feed upon the bran and yeast in the packet. Bran mites will not infest your plant.

Interesting observation: The yellow sticky on the plant removed from its spot had no Thirps. It has the most damaged leaveS. The rest still have them to a greater or lesser degree. I’m thinking the area around it doesn’t help. Going to cut the grass, get rid of the weeds, etc to start. Make it nice and clean and trim.

Just spray the cunts with a hose above and under the whole plant, you think some magical remedy will eradicate the issue outside , LOL cunts be cooked.

Yes the hose. Simple yet effective. If it's outside a hose does a good job. Especially with aphids which is why I always shake my head when I read posts about getting ladybugs, this product or that. Wash them of with a damn garden hose if you're outside. Inside citric acid will take care of them in a couple sprays. So what if some pistils brown and shrivel. The bugs are dead and new pistils keep growing. People make it so much more complicated than it needs to be and then still don't get control of the infestation.

I agree, that’s why I keep poking for simpler and simpler answers. Just now I cleaned the place up, gave them twice as much room, and sprayed them down. Will put yellow stickies to see how that did. If they’re still in numbers I’ll do a citric acid spray. And then another. Done.

Before space and after.

What kind of tomato are you growing? Is that a summer squash? Looks like you get some decent sun.

Zucchini and all sorts of tomato’s, lost track. Cannabis is just one part of the garden, I have 8 cannabis plants but like 15 tomato plants. Bunch of other stuff too. I don’t even bother being stealth…I mean I could try, but the more secretive and sneaky you act the more the neighbours think you’re shady. I basically give no fucks as it’s legal here, but paranoid someone will come in and take one.

I recommend these.
To anyone reading. If you’re looking for an IPM mite. Try these. Hang 1-3 per plant and you’ll be golden. This stuff works. We use these at work. 7D80D4EC-DBF4-4BCE-B020-D46D0FE8C29B.png

I have a similar backyard situation. Trees and fences. Garden and plants in pots. Your sheds much nicer than the piece of crap I have though.
