name that pest aside

I bought some stuff at my local shop, I had a spider mite problem. I bought the two different pest asides in small vials, enough to last quite awhile still as both are one drop per gallon. The one is avid. Here is my question. The other is white, looks thick, and milky, or full of calcium. Anyone know what it could be? Breaks down after 30 days.... That's about all I got to go on...


Thanks in advance

wait, you bought some pest asides from a local shop and you don't know what they are? nice.
I've never used it so I don't know what it looks like but a lot of the time when someone mentions avid something about Forbid is said.

seems a lot of shops sell small amounts of that. Sounds not legal to me although I can understand it.
Who is gonna throw a few hundred on a bottle of stuff they'll never use by the expiration date?
The shops break it down like it was crack and make a fuckload. illegally.

They sure do brother! I'm doing my first indoor grow, almost thru veg... Waiting to sex 15 critical mass plants from seed. About a month old now on 18/6

Careful with that stuff, some people won't use them in flower and probably for a reason.
I thought the Forbid was like 60 days to be safe, maybe it was more like 45 but I don't use that so I have no idea.
You may want to get something to have on hand for late flower. I use mighty wash myself. One user mentioned a Flying Skull nuke em or some shit like that.
Silly name but he said it works well and also controls PM and other pests besides mites. Priced at 150 dollars a gallon but it's a concentrate and a gallon will probably make 20 or 30 gallons of ready to spray.

A quick Google image search and I'd say your probably right. Looks like forbid f4, and forbid claims a 45 day residual period.

Thank you sir. Seems forbid and avid are commonly alternated every couple harvests to help with immune mites. Thanks for everyone's help!

When is best to spray something like avid, floramite, forbid on your girls if they are in soil? A day after feeding, right before feeding, ect.... I would think about 18 to 24 Hrs after a watering so the plants don't soak up the chemical s so much.... But you know what they say about people that AssUMe. : )

for get that shit ! what in it ? will it kill you if its smoked ? get some neem or fish oil. first wash your plant with soapy dish soap water scrub clean wash off . if they are not to large . then apply neem oil with a sprayer , it is a mother fucker killing spyder mites. spray the neem oil 2 times a day . onto plants. and pots on the floor the walls, every thing. then day 2 spray 2 times again . day 3 if they are in later flower, yeah shit. watch for mold. spray again . day 4 respray. . spray until day 14 ! then give it 3 days, if possible respray. but first check for bugs, hopefully they will be all gone. only way to kill these mother fuckers, because they lay some many eggs and you can kill every egg they hatch and lay more eggs, one spyder mit lays 20 thousand eggs I heard , in 2 weeks add that up for an insane number,
