1,000 lady bugs dead in 20 minutes....

[CoughingMan]

I dunno what the problem is? I let the guys free in my grow room and within 20 minutes the majority were dead on their backs....

I noticed they were all drinking the water the came through into the trays which was loading with nutes, u think this killed em?

Anyway. they are dead.... and now, I need a vacuum.

are you using chem or organic nutes?

are you in veg or n flower?

Next time release near a saucer of fresh water, as they are very thirsty when they first awaken.

did you spray insectisides before ordering the ladybugs....did you releasse them on lights out, it is best to release them when its dark so they can adjust...

also they will fly twards the light/heat and burn themselves up.

i had a problem with 50?% dead on delivery and the majority died around teh package....was a shipping error i believe///too cold...they replaced them no problem....and had great luck

i have had better luck even to the point where they laid eggs which hatched the nymph stage look like small alligators. but yeah many hit the lights and fry if you have enough circulation they mostly miss the lights.

Smokeman to the rescue!!!

The reason they died is because they did not have a chance to become a custom to your climate and enviroment . You put them into a warm bright enviroment without them being ready,

Whenever you get fresh new lady bugs and want to put them into your grow room you must 1ST put the new lady bugs into slightly wet soil . They will slowly make there way out of the medium and then go searching for food.

I hope this helps some people out there .
