The
Azamax worked very well on the two spot spider mites. Still only seeing larva and very few adults that are looking slow and sick. Will do a second spray this weekent with a lighter concentration.
After scrutinizing so many different pesticides this year and deciding to stay away from
Avid, my cousin suprised me when he accepted an unlabled miticide from one of his partners to use on his commercial grow. I asked the guy what it was and he said a cropduster friend uses it on corn and it safe up to 7 days before harvest. Sounds like a number of pesticides that I chose not to use because they poison the buds or ruin their flavor. I told him that I wouldn't use a pesticide in my girls without first knowing what it is and if it's safe.
I'm a little ashamed that the greenhouse crop is going to be treated like this. The exact reason we have to be careful with smoking commercial pot. I hope the stuff is actually safe. There's still 8 weeks to go in flower since they just started dep. That gives them enough time to get clear of most pesticides as long as it is truly that safe.
On the other hand, I'm glad I held out against using iffy pesticides on my plants. Even if I don't eradicate all the bugs they'll harvest just fine and I'll do the H2O2/H2O bath to get rid of the bug poop.
I'll post up some pics in the morning. They're pushing 7' right now and growth is slowing as they settle into the flower cycle. The Kush are monsters. I get so excited thinking about next year and possibly upgrading to 400 gal or bigger pots and planting earlier so I can grow legit trees.
I should have my new camera by early next week. That's when I'll transfer all my pics to my big computer and start a grow thread.
