Alright guys so i definitely have grasshoppers chomping away at my best leaves and ive found a budworm and some eggs (that i smashed) on my two main ladies...im starting week 4 of flower and Monterey spray w/ spinosad seems to be my best bet...i need something i can use until close to harvest...shits $20 at the local nursery... ill gladly pay it if it will take care of both problems.... good stuff or a waste of money?
 
That's what I've been using. I have katydids everywhere. And earlier in the year cucumber beetles. It didn't seem to kill either of those bastards.:confused:

I've used it in the past for budworms,mworks great. I just sprayed into the buds and kept them from ruining the buds. I'm wondering how well it works for spider mites and whiteflies

Captain jacks spinosad $11 pre mixed or like $20 for concentrate and you mix. Works great for spider mites, bud worms, grass hoppers etc.

I usually use Azamax, but my local supplier didn't have any in stock so they suggested "Spinosad" it works just as good as Azamax in my growing climate. My plants are insect free. Spinosad did its job a few weeks back, my plants were attacked by corn borers, the CB's that bit into my plants all died with in a few hours after biting into my plants. I use it once a week up to the 4th week of flowering.

Be vigilant with it, an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure!

spinos a and d were recommended by the entomologists at UC Davis when I went on picnic day last year. I just bought some myself a bottle so I can rotate it into my pesticide regime. I was told not to use the same pesticide more than 3 times in a row lest the pest insects build an immunity.
