Fogponics. As good or better than Hydro?

Even trashing them you need to break the life cycle with chemicals.
They live aprox. 3 weeks and reproduce/lay eggs at 2weeks.
Eggs hatch in 2 days.
Might just try to win in the process?
I used Smite which is listed in first link as killing RM and their eggs, as one of my IPM for thrips/spider mites.
I like to use more than one product to discourage resistance.

Amazon.com

Just added smite to the Amazon cart too.

No no let me run it together.

the chicken crossed the road to see his neighbour’s creepy crawly infestation …

knock knock… you said who’s there…. Chicken

Lol. Went right over my head.

 

[Aqua Man]

Lol. Went right over my head.

Yeah bad jokes tend to do that

 

[SweetLeafGrow]

Yer supposed to say "Chicken who?".

 

[Moe.Red]

No no let me run it together.

Ok now I can’t live without the answer

Why did the chicken cross the road?

to see his neighbour’s creepy crawly infestation …

knock knock

who’s there….

Chicken

Chicken who?

 

[SweetLeafGrow]

I know the answer.

Ok now I can’t live without the answer

Chicken your pockets. I think might have some mites in there!

That was the end of the joke… the chicken crosses the road to see his neighbours infestation…. The knock knock is the chicken at your door… meaning he came to see your infestation.

lmao the moral of the story is….never tell bad jokes to stoners…

Yeah I did understand it then. SLG is the stoner not me.

After much deep and profound brain things in my head I think it is time to move on to dragonsflame Mac Dragon x BX1. I guess I’ll germinate these upstairs so they are ready when the aliens are dead.

and get me some basement chickens. I won’t teach them how to knock tho. That turns them into smartasses.

 

[GreenGalaxyFarm]

you're not introducing new aliens from the other room?
going the hydrogen peroxide germination route might be of benefit here, seeing as you've put so much effort towards a sterilized environment already.

Not sure I follow?

The seeds are not contaminated. I'll germinate them elsewhere so they do not become so. By the time they are ready to go in the tent the growspace will be cleaned and cycled.

the concern was that pathogens might hitch a ride somewhere along the way between points a and b. germinating them in a sterilized environment and not moving them from their seemed to be to goal here.
this is not something i put into practice myself

 

[Moe.Red]

I am hoping I have found a way to give you guys digital images from the 1000X optical scope.

And the final images of Petri farm 1.

Next thing is to change growth medium and delivery. Start each in nute water and feed them sugar. Dextrose was this agar, but I'm thinking something mimicking Bud Candy would be a good next step.

I think we are about 2 degrees off from communicating. Sorry I don't speak Afrikaans.

Point A is my grow space and the areas surrounding it. Potential areas of contamination. I am on a cleansing cycle with all of that including heat chemicals and more on the way. I will break the cycle on Point A. I am wearing a lab coat and leaving it in the grow space sprayed with Clorox.

Point B is an area that is highly unlikely to be impacted by contamination. This is where I will germinate my clean seeds.

By the time the seedlings are ready for RDWC, the 2 day hatching cycle will be over and dealt with. In they go. Back on track best I know how.

 

[Moe.Red]

Carbon dioxide not so much an issue its carbon monoxide that is.

Yeah I read that CO2 is a potential fog bomb for these bastards. But I think I got it under control and gonna let the gases do what they do without my help. Maybe if the infection was way worse. It took me forever to find it. They like the stalk area

I just wasn't getting those stalk samples because I was snipping leaves not yanking them. It wasn't till I did that on your suggestion that I found them.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

They got you too. Damn. Plague of mites for lots of growers right now. They had me chasing my tail as well on my last run. Wetable sulphur did work to a point, but gotta be hammered with repeat applications, but still they seem nearly impossible to eradicate completely. GL

"I am hoping I have found a way to give you guys digital images from the 1000X optical scope"

Is that like 3d porn? I mean, not that I know what that is...just saying...had a few at the bar.

 

[Moshmen]

This thread has taught me so much in the last 2 pages alone. Such a great community.

+1 never had russets hope I never do but now I know ! Thanx Moe! Diesel , everyone

 

[GrowHobo]

Spray rate with that product is 7-10 days,
Will not work properly for spider mites.

It’s actually every other day. Maintenance is 7-10 days. There’s no spray I love everything about and no product I consider to be good enough to stand alone but it’s another tool in the kit to rotate through

i have reread what i sent you and it confused me as well. this was more an issue of me being high as a kite last night then my aptitude at translating afrikaans to english as i type. considering your response, you got the gist of what i attempted to say anyway. ill only add that the benefits of h202 germination are concise and should be a consideration whether sterilization is the goal or not.
