Remember that most insect larva to adult can be as long as 21 days. So if you see an adult three or four days after a treatment you will need to continue treatment ever couple days to ensure coverage has eliminated the true issue. Lady bugs will eat any soft body mite and their cheep with large appetites. BlessI wish I knew all this info before I ordered anything. Hopefully someone out there can read this and learn from it.
If I could do it all over again I would use the Conserve SC, Cap's Foliar Pack and then go with predatory mites/insects.
I believe Neoseiulus Californicus is native to my area, so I sure hope that isn't what I was seeing and trying to exterminate.
If this doesn't get rid of them, I'll loose my mind, lol.
That's extremely helpful info, thank you! Damn, I really, really hope I don't find any adults crawling around. It would be heartbreaking.Remember that most insect larva to adult can be as long as 21 days.

Lol! I welcome Lady Bug orgies with open arms!Don't get me wrong they'll be having orgies and laying around if they don't have work to do.
I would agree with that IF he hadn't said he used Forbid. You cannot use that product more than 3 times per growing season, or you're damn near guaranteeing resistance. He's gotta switch it up to another mode of action 'cide' here.Remember that most insect larva to adult can be as long as 21 days.

Thank you for the much needed words of encouragement, Bill!@MushinNoShin i did cry, i was unable to save my POG i had for several years and almost lost my OG mom ive been working since 09. I double stuffed the clone box and prayed. Only got 10 or so to pop after all the stress. Picked the best six and recloned and recloned again to get far away from the girls who underwent 3 months of hell. Keep vigilant and use your OGBio war with religion. You got this just keep strong and your girls will feed off your vibes.
I have heard so many good things about Cap's Bennies and always meant to try it, but never really got around to it.
I only have the foliar pack, can anyone tell me what it does? Is it just for pesticidal purposes or does it act as a benificial as well? Do you think it will help revive my girls? I was planning on using a drop-per-gallon of Superthrive as well.
http://ogbiowar.com/instructions/Okay, so I didn't realize Cap's Bennies needed to be brewed first, lol, but first thing in 24-72 hours.
never brewed them once and my colonies are live and kicking. I mix in my soil pre transplant and add to ph'ed water for spray and drench. I can see them on the tops of the pots when i water heavy swiming around and the run in my drain off dishes Will be crazy alive.Okay, so I didn't realize Cap's Bennies needed to be brewed first, lol, but first thing in 24-72 hours.
Spraying the foliar as foliar pest prevention/eradication is best used straight, not brewed, at a teaspoon per liter... just be sure to add a wetting agent, like yucca extract.Okay, so I didn't realize Cap's Bennies needed to be brewed first, lol, but first thing in 24-72 hours.
Damn, bro. Straight saved my ass with this post right here! HIGHLY appreciated. I must have been reading the wrong instructional, almost clogged-up my sprayers! Good thing I thought it had to be brewed and waited, lol.http://ogbiowar.com/instructions/
The FOLIAR PACK is composed of beneficial microbes and a pharmaceutical grade talc carrier. It
may be used 2 ways, mixed with water, or applied directly by incorporating it in to your
soil/peat/coco mix. It is important to follow the mixing instructions below.
Mixing instructions for watering in:
1) Scoop 1 tsp of the FOLIAR PACK per 1 liter of non chlorinated water.
2) Mix well, breaking up all the clumps so that the solution looks nice and cloudy.
3) Let the solution settle for 3-5 minutes. The talc carrier will slowly settle to the bottom, but
the microbes will stay suspended in the water.
4) Pour or scoop the liquid off the top, avoiding the majority of the talc carrier sitting on the
bottom. The talc carrier is safe, so don't worry about getting a little on the plants or in the soil.
It is best to avoid the majority though because sometimes the talc carrier can clog sprayers and
cause soil to drain slowly. When you are done rinse the talc carrier from the mixing vessel.
As a seedling treatment: 3 tsp/ Liter of non chlorinated water prior to planting.
For Cuttings: Add 1 tsp/Liter of solution prior to placing cutting.
As a drench for rooted plants: 1 teaspoon per liter and water until runoff is present.
As a foliar spray: The solution can be used to spray down all plant and pot surfaces. Make sure you
soak every nook and cranny!
IMPORTANT!!! : WHEN SPRAYING TURN OFF LIGHTS, TURN OFF AC, TURN OFF FANS FOR 2 HOURS.
THIS PACK WORKS BEST WHEN HUMIDITY IS HIGH!!!
Instructions for mixing direct (dry):
Add 1 teaspoon/ gallon of mix. Example: 5 gallon pot would get 5 teaspoons mixed in. That's it!
Mixing it in dry is best done when transplanting to new containers.
Spraying the foliar as foliar pest prevention/eradication is best used straight, not brewed, at a teaspoon per liter... just be sure to add a wetting agent, like yucca extract.
As for reviving your girls used as a beneficial, it's best used as a brew with the foliar and root pack.
4 gallon bucket of dechlorinated water, pH'd to 6.5ish.
100ml molasses (food source for microbes)
4 TBSP "root pack"
4 TBSP "foliar pack"
Cup or two of worm castings (straight on the bucket, or in a teabag of sorts)
Brew with an airstone >70 liters/min.
4 hours for max microbe diversity, 24 hours for less diversity, more microbes. Longer the brew, less diversity.
You can use it straight, or diluted up to 1 part brew to 10 parts water/nutrient solution. PH prior to adding bennies.
Apply weekly.
Increases rootzone protection against pests/pathogens, stress etc. Increases growth rates and all around plant vitality.
Good luck!
Here is an instant remover of chlorine and chloramine if you don't have a filter
