You need to get your whole town breeding ladybugs. That is some harsh pesticide application.
They have been a pain to keep alive, the burgers fly into the lights and die. I know people who use them and they put a little Coca-Cola in with them in the tube and shake it up before releasing them so they cant fly. I haven't tried that, and it honestly sounds a bit cruel lol. Maybe one day.You need to get your whole town breeding ladybugs. That is some harsh pesticide application.

Ladybugs suck. They f*** & fly. They're only worth a sh*t as larva. Baby ladybugs are voracious eaters, like little PacMen (whakka whakka whakka whakka whakka whakka).
Isn’t whakka whakka, the Muppets? Hehe
here's a substitue recipe for Green cleanerGreen cleaner is a good non toxic means of treating spider mites if I remember correctly the main ingredient is alcohol and can be sprayed up to the day of harvest.
Nice! Thank you very much! Always love all natural cures. I’m sick of seeing folks being lazy and pumping man made harsh chemicals in there plants.here's a substitue recipe for Green cleaner
"Recipe for CB Cleaner-
48 ounces 1420 ml. Soybean Oil
(Vegetable oil is soybean oil, check the label. get the store brand)
48 ounces 1420 ml. Ultra Dish Soap
(brand does not matter, Ultra strength is what we are after)
26 ounces 769 ml. 99% Isopropyl Alcohol
(I get this at Fred Meyer for a dollar per 16 oz bottle)
2.5 ounces 74 ml. Lemon Juice
1.5 ounces 57 grams Salt
2 ounces 60ml. Water
1 oz = 29,5735 ml
1 oz. = 28,3495 grams
Instructions.
Major infestations - 1 to 1.5 ounce per gallon
Maintenance and IPM - .5 ounce per gallon
Cover leaves completely for best results. This is a contact killer with little residual ability against most pests. All soft bodied insects including mites, thrips, aphids, and gnats will be killed on contact. It will keep PM from fruiting for up to two weeks and will block new infestations if used in an IPM rotation. This is also great for cleaning up tents, grow utensils and pots. This is my most used product in my IPM. It is very effective in keeping plants clean when used correctly. Overuse and or spraying at high concentrations too often can cause leaf dryness and burn."
from Berenger
the cleaner works well, I've found after reading up on this that raising the humidity in the grow helps control spider mites also, if I see thrips I use diatomaceous earth on the surface of the soil, they disappear.
Lol, I remember that! Lmao!!I like musical muppets too!
Ya, that was a staple on tv before cable and satellite even existed. We had Chanel’s 2,6,8,12 on vhs some times you’d get lucky and stay up late when the parents past out and watch channels 22 or 49 and see some boobies.........You have excellent taste in muppets.
