    Are These Bulb Mites?

    The new grow was going great..only thing that made it over was some kind of bad spores it seems...I guess do to all the root damage spores somehow spread and were ready to jump on the new crop. Treated the whole crop with Thiomyl at the beginning of flower and have healthy roots again. Also...

    You just buy the wettable sulfur powder..it doesn't mix great but I will be using it on all my grows. Use it early veg and right before flower. It's better than trying to fight an infestation after it's taken place.

    Please identify . Found them on top of soil

    Amen to that, I felt with spider mites and fungus gnats. These things are the worst ever. You can knock them down with pesticides, but you can’t knock them out and when they come back they’re even harder to kill. On top of that your harvest will be small almost flavorless and half the time the...

    Please identify . Found them on top of soil

    The are Bulb mites , picked them up years ago buying some off brand organic soil. I was misinformed they were root aphids and have killed lots of plants trying to treat them and what I have been harvesting is on the lower quality realm... Can't keep doing this so cleaning every nook and cranny...

    Are These Bulb Mites?

    I did a powdered sulfur and malathion drench....it seems sulfur works on every type of mite from what I have read so far. The sulfur also kills or retards every fungus out there. The industries that deal with bulb (Garlic, onions, tulips etc) Apply it before storage and before planning , that...

    Are These Bulb Mites?

    Sounds about right.. and only thing i will use oils for now are cleaning walls and a repellent: Everytime i tried to use them for disease it either didn’t completely work or caused damage.
