Spider mites actually prefer it dry.Get that humidity down and drop the temps to 70 while you treat the mites.

2 tsp citric acid per quart will kill the adults. You have the right idea with using multiple things. Just do it ever few days. Once you kill off the majority with sprays and think they're gone adding the predator mites isn't a bad idea. But don't add the predators and then spray or fog or you'll kill off your buddies.I'm reading people also use citric acid diluted in water and sprayed during lights out. They've had success. I guess it kills soft bodied insects. I want to basically hit them from multiple angles to ensure they're absolutely gone.
What are your thoughts on these foggers. Active ingredients are stronger than Dokter Doom. I can get these right now. I don't want to wait.2 tsp citric acid per quart will kill the adults.

I've never used a fogger, but if I was going to I'd probably use the Doktor Doom. At least that one says it's fine for food crops. Alternating between citric acid spray and iso spray would give you a head start and wash off some of the bugs and shit. That's probably what I'd do until you get the fogger.What are your thoughts on these foggers. Active ingredients are stronger than Dokter Doom. I can get these right now. I don't want to wait.
cool. good luck.I ordered 2 foggers. I also picked up the Captain Jack's. The fogger does the leaf area. I need to drench as well.
I'm actually giving the plants bone meal today. I sprayed yesterday with neem twice. Today I sprayed with an alcohol/water at a 30/70 ratio twice. Tomorrow I'll do captain jacks. Hopefully my LCPT arrives Monday. I'll do a soil drench with captain jacks as well. Sunday back to neem, Monday LCPT, Tuesday ISO mix.Thrip/misc insect damage and Phosphorus deficiency amongst other issues.
I would use Monopotassium Phosphate (MKP) at a rate of 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water, which is roughly 100-200 ppm of MKP in the solution. This will work faster than bone meal. I'm not an organic grower though. The plant doesn't know an organic chemical from a synthesized one. The important part is that your chemicals are clean of harmful chemicals and heavy metals.I'm actually giving the plants bone meal today. I sprayed yesterday with neem twice.

I'm not seeing any active activity. I know the life cycle so I need to get the larvae and keep hitting it above soil.
Is bone meal a good P and ca source to add now. Due for a top dress as well. These are 10g pots. It's been 2 weeks. They were growing really well until the pests came in.
Excuse for asking but why K when you think it's P?I would use Monopotassium Phosphate (MKP) at a rate of 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water, which is roughly 100-200 ppm of MKP in the solution.

Water Solubility, ease of access and doesn't contain Nitrogen where most nicely water soluble forms of Phosphorus contain Nitrogen. I also like to believe boosting both potassium and phosphorus is advantageous.Excuse for asking but why K when you think it's P?
"What is the best source of phosphorus for cannabis?
Instead, utilize organic fertilizers like worm castings, blood meal, fish meal, or bat guano for nitrogen; bone meal or rock dust for phosphorus; wood ash or kelp meal for potassium; and dolomite lime for calcium or magnesium."
I saw a few more moving around. About to do a soil drench and foliar application with captain jacks.Water Solubility, ease of access and doesn't contain Nitrogen where most nicely water soluble forms of Phosphorus contain Nitrogen.
