ok I don't know about the stuff you got.......
I'm sure there all fine in Veg,............
there will be more people that can help with this so I'll just say @Buzzer777
He just helped me again the other day with bugs and my flower tent........ I have stuff to use but it's all from diff place's then yours......
And to be Honset I havn't had to DEAL with Bug's for over 15yrs..... till now so I'm not the 1 to really talk here.....
Sry CG
Here's my 2 cents take it or leave it......
I don't think you have to worry about the dogs and you so much... as long as you're a clean person.......
I have 3 things I use in veg as for spray and switch between them every few weeks...
I did use a lot of neem oil though....
And the Jack's....
The Jack's I used the other day in flower for the bug's I seen.... but they were still from the 1st one's I got...
I think I only got 90%or so in the tent cause I could ot spray all the vegetables.....
Also I have the plant theory coming now to also use in flower if need be with the Jack's....
That's all the help I can be..I would just spray everything 2 times a week
remember CG I'm living without running water inside ...so I go 2-3 days same clothes and I take a nig bath out of 5gal buckets every 2-3days.... and I'm not moving bugs around........
i forget you run around with the pups too and you dont have issues. I guess i can lay off em a little LOL.I'm sure your stuff is good just let 1 of these guys that know this say what's up CG
i have to keep my grow room door open too in order to keep the temperature down as well. I have a few ideas, some based on what I do and some for your dogs. I don’t have dogs but indoor cats. They stay out of my grow room because I line the doorway with elemental sulfur. They must not like the smell.
Dogs:
A soapy bath for your dogs is the best way to kill pests that hitchhiked a ride on them. I would increase frequency of doggy baths more during the summer. You can dust elemental sulfur on your dogs when they go outside. It is perfectly safe to do so. I would still put a baby gate up to keep them out of he room.
Grow room:
Elemental sulfur is my favorite preventative. I dust the the floor of my grow tents, the top of my grow medium, the outside of my pots, the edges of my walls in the grow room. Sometimes I’ll mixed DE with the sulfur.
Increase airflow inside the tent. Most pests (insects and mild/mildew) can’t get established on the plants if it’s too windy but not so windy that you give your plants wind burn. I have 5 small fans in the 5’x5’ flower tent.
Spraying Plants:
These are all organic options: I like green cleaner(insecticidal soap), azamax, captain jacks dead bug (spinosad), azera, DE, elemental sulfur. I would also pick a horticultural oil like neem to add to your arsenal. Azamax can also be used as a soil drench to kill prevent certain soil pests. I would also consider some biologicals that have btk or bs. They aren’t that expensive, not like grandevo, botanigard 22wp, pfr97.
As a preventative, I would spray every 5-7 days with a different active ingredient during vegetative growth.
During flower, increase airflow and keep humidity down. Dust stems, grow medium, pots, tent floor, any surfaces with DE and sulfur. Try to keep the dogs out!
During the summer or whenever outdoor pests are most active for you, you’ll want to treat any plants next to your house. Don’t grow anything outdoors that attract major pests. I’ve had to pull out plants bordering the foundation of my house because they were attracting pine mites.
