Mites and what to do…..

[Greenthumb1967]

Outdoor it’s inevitable. Mites soon after flowering. I tend to be lazy outdoors and early September they came hard. Tired of daily spraying I found myself in trouble. I bought 3000 ladybugs by mid September I released them. Holy shit. Perfect for greenhouses! They ate mites like crazy since no other food was present. My weed is usually done mid September but not this year. By harvest mid October there were no signs of mites. Humping ladybugs everywhere lol. Not a single mite or web. Sweet! Not only that my loss from catipillars Was the least ever. Maybe 10 %! I highly recommend ladybugs for greenhouse grows. Get them in veg stage so they can lay those eggs! The larvae eat catipillar eggs

Lucky you . In Oregon it’s always an issue. I’ve even had them indoors they smell it and get in. I don’t recommend ladybugs indoors even with leds. They find a way to kill themselves lol. Typically I lose 30% plus to catapillars outdoors. I’m picking ladybugs out of my dried weed and releasing them LOL.
