anyone else experiencing mites in foxfarms ocean forest mix?
This weekend I found my first battle with the borg......:(
I was using
FFOF
Dam, they came on quick, but once again I found where I noticed symptoms and didn’t ask :face palm:
I thought the "rough" leaves were the remaining after effects of burning them a few weeks ago. Well I happened to pull a leaf and run it under the scope and those bitches looked up and said * :animal0012::harvest:
Then I said *:swear:swear:swear
After treatment
So I went and got some battle gear. I started with pulling everything out and doing a bleach/water cleaning of the tent and all gear.
Also grabbed 1500 lady bugs for the future.
I picked up some of this, which states kills both the mite and the eggs. And I also replaced my hotshots. (I think that’s where I screwed up, as my previous ones were 3-4 months old) The instructions show 2 applications 3 days apart for total eradication. and then once a month for maintenance.
Then I mixed up my dip and made this...
25 gallon tub
350GPH pump with a watering wand pointed up.
Everyone got not only dunked but, a shower. Over all they seem ok this morning. A few curled leaves but nothing major. They all are popped back up and looking happy. I’ll be watering today.
I also picked up some foggers for flea/tick/flies/squito etc to bomb my shop just for shits and giggles.
hopefully this handles the issue. This being my first soil grow has been a learning experience....
