Only thing that worked for me is plant vitality plus lady birds don't do shite and predator mites were expensive and did exactly the same as lady birds. Canadian express spray safe works but only if you get every mite, if you don't it also gets expensive

all you did was make yourself look like a fool. Half the riu community and mods pm'd me and apologized for your behavior and asked me not to leave the forum. I was told that you are on thin ice and very close to being banned. So good job. You accomplished making everyone hate you.

It looks like it is in the middle where it's starting the top leafs look rough but I think I had it to close to the light a few weeks ago and they just never repaired them selfs. I will take a pic tomorrow so you can see I just put about 700 ladybugs in the grow room for the mites and within like an hour I looked in and you could see the just chomping away on lots of little mite

lady bugs wont really eat mites. When you use lady bugs you want to drop like at least 3,000 of them so they have to fight over food. As soon as they are full they go into hibernation and don't feed for a few days.


looks like lack of phos, nitrogen, and calcium.. It doesn't look like bleaching to me. That induces molybdenum defs and I don't see any of that.


Also aloe is awesome for promoting all kinds of growth. Its sort of a turbo button for growth.
I don't see any signs of pests on the leaves.


Best bug killer in the world. Puree a couple aloe leaves with water. strain the aloe. Then add the liquid to a spray bottle already filled with water. Then add a few mils of pro tekt. The silica in pro tekt dehydrates , slices and dices the bugs just like diatomaceous earth but works better than dte. Then the enzymes in the aloe wipe them out as well. Together they are a lethal bug killer. They kill every bug with one application. Eggs too. Its all organic. Aloe leaves are free if you grow aloe vera. The aloe breaks down very fast. So you have to use within 20 minutes of making the foliar mix.

you can buy an aloe plant anywhere for less than $5

You are the only person I have ever heard say ladybugs don't eat mite I'm afraid they do. And I know it's not a nitrogen problem they get calmag + and I give a little veg nutes still the top leafs in fact were bleach or burnt by the light because when I moved the light they stopped turning that faded color. I think I got it under control but thanks

you haven't talked too to many people then. if a hydro shop salesman told you that. Im afraid he has zero growing experience ladybugs eat mostly eggs. trust me you they wont get rid of mites. The lady bugs will disappear within a week. . Predatory mites do better job of getting rid of spider mites .. using cal mag + is your problem probably. Those are the worst. too much mag will lock out cal and too much cal will lock out mag and many other nutes.


if it really is bleached ( I highly doubt it ) spray some kelp on the leaves. Potassium replenishes molybdenum and magnanese and in turn chlorophyll. Light bleaching destroys chlorophyll.

if new growth is yellow thats iron and sulfur defs. kelp, alfalfa will take care of that too

Lavender oil mixed with dawn dish soap then add to water.......spray every 2-3 days.......for around 2 weeks ,this kills eggs and mites

Strong dose 1 oz per gallon, regular dose 1/3-1/2 oz per gallon.....I mix about 3-5 ml of dawn dish soap directly to the lavender oil to emulsify it, then add to water in that order........spray when lights off or right before light off.....

Every hdro shop haha ok guy I live in Washington for one so why would I deal with a regular hydro shop every medical grower I have ever talked to says ladybugs and Predator mites are the best natural way to get ride or keep mites under control it is funny because I bet you have never tried it but will site here and make it seem like you did. Like I said you are the only one who has ever said they don't work or eat mites but I also see you fight with at least one person in every thread I found you in and I don't take advice from kids who fight over stupid shit like growing pot so I'll keep my ladybugs and Predatory mites and you keep your chemical spray and smoke that I'll smoke my 100%++ Organic

I like that you told Hyroot the truth about himself, He has been exposed as a liar,dipshit,crybaby,narc. He will come in here next and talk a bunch of shit and tell you how cool he is, as soon as he gets fried, he will have a mod erase it all, GUARANTEED.

now that I said, that. For the first time, I actually agree with him about ladybugs, they are a waste of time and money and will just make a mess for you to clean up.

old stage green cleaner WORKS on spidermites, good stuff

the ladybugs are good for eating aphids and will eat mites, but in an indoor garden, they mostly fly into the light and die.

Hyroot knows how to GET mites, he just doesn't know how to get rid of them.

I have to disagree I have had them in there for about 3 days and I made a little house for them to bread and they already have eggs and the baby ladybugs eat way more and are more aggressive but my problem is no more I have no new damage to any leafs and the ones that did have mites are covered with ladybugs that are eating the hell out of the mites and the Predator mites I only had 100 of them they are going to town to. So it's working for me and in three weeks I will have some nice organic buds probably filled with ladybugs and Predator mites lol but I'm sure I'll be able to get them out of the buds if any are in them

Also I have a screen over the top of my girls that will stop them from flying into the light because I read that if you don't do something like that it will be a waste
