I copied this from another forum. The brother gives some very good info. Another tip is to put a couple small pots of cilantro in your grow room. It repels spider mites so you don't have to fight with them.
"AloHigh, Da borg are evil! I had to learn this on my own, but my gift to anyone.
For 6 years I had no problem because I would spray my girls heavy with
pyrethrins at the very time that I would take them from the veg room to the flower room, and before hand every couple weeks while in the veg room. Then I remember the one time I didn't because, well , maybe I got lazy, or never had the borg, except for a few now and then, (a good grower always flips over deir leaves to check and the squishes dooes evil bastardeios) and since I never had an infestiation, I had no idea how bad it could be.
BE DILIGENT!
So now I know, and I use a 3 prong defense/attack. Use your
pyrethrins (natural from hybiscus or orleander) while your ladies are in veg.
Pyrethrins will kill the adults. Then, if you have an infestation,
Forbid or Judo will kill the juviniels and eggs. With the Judo you only spray the leaf tops, cause its a transmutational and will penetrate the leaves. These 2, which are the same but different names, takes about 2 weeks to see results, so its better to kill the adults first with
pyrethrins. So now your 2 weeks into flower and if you see any more borg, hit em hard, tops and bottoms of leaves and stems with Floromite SC, Floromite kills em dead, so HellBoy told me. You need to make a fresh batch of Floromite, because it doesn't keep or store. Floromite them before week 3, cause it takes 4 weeks for Floromite to completely degrade enough for human consumption. So the average hybrid is what? An 8 week strain, so there you have an extra week to be safe. Actually its better to hit em hard before you go into flower stage, but the specs say 4 weeks. Then, since your fighting the borg, you might want to give the girls a couple extra weeks of flush and give the miteisides extra time to degrade.
When I spray, I always use PPE- personal protective equipment. Respirator, coveralls, boots, gloves, booney hat, goggles. Then wet mop the floor in closet and outside of closet floor, don't want my precious Ozee-dog to walk in reminents.
So, if you rotate with 3 differents borg killers, they won't be able to become resistant to any one because they will be dead. Most miteisides' directions say to use 3 different chemical approaches so the borg don't become immune to D.E.A.T.H. (as per Uni speak)
peace and good luck. Feel free to add info or correct me. Potpots "
