most gardening stores will be able to order them in if they dont carry them in store. they are used as pest control for any aphid, so it doesn't even look too dodgy

predator mites didn't work for meget some ladybugs in. they dont fly when its dark so pop one on each affected area as the lights go out. should be sorted relatively quick.
lost some really nice plants to mites, not actually tried the ladybugs but they've been recommended by many ppl now. i found the only sprays that really worked couldn't be used on the buds and after a good coating on the leaves the mites moved onto the buds.
i've heard them compared to the Borg on star trek and it is quite apt. the second i see a mite on this grow, its just going in the bin.
yeah i would use them if i could contain them but i don't have my tent set up yet

they'll stay near their food, get em when the lights go out and they'll walk and eat till the lights come on, even then they might not fly away.

final dry weight for the fruit auto was 14.6g. not too bad for a 1ft tall auto under a t5. it lost a decent amount smell while drying and curing, but after a trip thru the grinder it smells delicious. its a bit harsh but i think that's my fault. im kind of a n00b at curing. but none of that matter once the high hits you. it starts out speedy and heady then turns into a relaxing body buzz. it'll make you wicked good at call of duty lol. overall a very happy giggly high, my girl and i both agree. i think this was well worth growing this strain and i would do it again

thats what im aiming for cause the fruit dried way too fast it was almost bone dry at 3 days. so i got minimal curing. it made it a little harsh but i still get high as fuck. that's the goal right?
