High All, I am a new member here but long time reader. I am a caregiver here in CO and have been experiencing some bug problems. I have been using Met-52 and Mycotrol to some degree of success but recently I have switched to the OG Biowar and my plants unfortunately have taken a turn for the worse. I was under the impression that it has Bti, Met-52, Mycotrol, and Spinosad in the foliar pack, however I don't see these in the ingredient list. PLEASE DONT think I came to hate on anything or anybody I'm sure I'm missing something. I googled the ingredients and didn't see anything that corresponded with being a form of the aforementioned ingredients. Why would they not be listed? It seems like it would be a really good selling point to list these. Like I said I'm sure I am missing something, not hating on anything, just came here to get help and information. I have seen a lot of success stories using Caps packs so I bought a kilo of each. Thanks Cap for that awesome effin discount. Now to address the bugs! What I thought to be root aphids appears to be more of a bulb mite for there are no tailpipes. I can get a glimpse of them in my 30x microscope and I recently bought a USB 200x microscope but I had to buy a conversion cable, that I am still waiting on, to hook it up to my tablet and take pics. I will get those up as soon as it arrives and I figure out how to post them lol. I read the bulb mite thread and well I am a little worried that this is what I have. This would make sense as to why the foliar pack isn't working, but as I said before I was having some degree of success using Mycotrol and Met-52. Can I use a double dose of full strength Foliar Pack? I completely shut down one grow site and I am trying to win this battle at my other location. I found a good source for Hypoasis Aculeifer mites and supposedly they will take care of both root aphids and bulb mites. Is the Foliar pack compatible with these beneficial mites? When I shut down location 1 I took out the Ebb n Gros that I was using and I am going to go with coco and perlite after I clean the whole grow with the cleaning methods used in the bulb mite thread. I am using roots soil and coco/perlite at location 2. I had been running aeroflows at location 2 but I pulled them out and put them in the soil and coco strictly as an experiment to try and conquer this plague while also testing various methods of control. I am going to order beneficial mites as soon as I can find out if they are compatible with these other biological controls. Also could I mix my own concoction of spinosad, Bti, Mycotrol, and Met-52 or are these not compatible in their concentrated form? I wont use any chemicals on my grow so don't bother chiming in with those recommendations. I grow medicine for ill patients. No haters please as that is not my intentions here but any constructive criticism is welcome for educational purposes as we are all here to learn. Im not knockin Caps products! I can see the fungi growing on top of my medium so I know his stuff is awesome. Thanks in advance for your help and info. SJ
