Amen to that, I felt with spider mites and fungus gnats. These things are the worst ever. You can knock them down with pesticides, but you can’t knock them out and when they come back they’re even harder to kill.Woah no bueno. Hope I never run into them.
The only thing that works for me and the good bud is spinosad spray against spider mites. I don't like what fatty oil sprays do to the flower. And I really don't like hitting anything I'm going to smoke or eat with a commercial pesticide. With spider mites I've found that 10 - 14 days of twice a day treatments will eradicate them. And now that cooler temps are hitting us, anything new will be simple to get under control. During the hot months I hit them every 3 days until the last 3 to 4 weeks of flower regardless. If I don't then my leaves get white polka dots. The Joy's of living I. The woods lol! I release a lot of ladybugs and praying mantis in my gardens each year. Really love to watch those living sticks in my plants picking shit and stuff :)Amen to that, I felt with spider mites and fungus gnats. These things are the worst ever.

On top of that your harvest will be small almost flavorless and half the time the bus won’t finish

Didn’t go wring except biying some off nrand organic soil years afo.Sorry to hear this!!! Wish more could have been done.....Honestly where do you think you went wrong? How will you improve your game so it doesnt happen again?
From what ive read is insects travel the world through winds, they come in droves, and they seem to cycle each other out. Or they cycle in circles all over or just a certain swath of the country/state/county.... Its almost like you see a plume of thrips one year then its fungus gnats the next followed by god only knows what....fuck me!!
Catch a bunch of them put them in jars with holes and just start experimenting with different chemicals. Take a few out zap'em and see what kills them and at what concentrations...best advice that can be given....as slow as they move it'd be a simple and easy!
Again im feelin for ya bro. I too want to blow up my plants and say fuckmit. But im going to hit them with with what i got.....
Im going with organocide on the root aphids. Theres a shit ton of fliers in the god damn house on my front door and shit...where did they come from? They will be here next year too...theyre laying their over wintering eggs as i sit here and bitch,complain and fucking whine about them....theyre laughing all the way to the bank!!!
Have you tried a sulfur spray?The other big thing I was overlooking before is mechanical manipulation. If one thing that these new camera's have shown me, is how fragile the eggs and larve are, they squash at the lightest of manipulation. So using the vauccum cleaner (w/rolling brushes) on surfaces, washing walls, sweeping floors, mopping, or washing leaves with soap (then rubbing between fingers and hand) do tremendous things to eliminate them, especially if you've got a localized spots. There usually hanging around the center of the fan leaves, were the nodes meet.
Anything mechanical helps a great deal, but it's a bunch of work, especially if you've got lots of big plants. I even shower the plants, if there not in flower. Mites are, and have always been my single biggest challenge with growing, no question about that one.
No, not many sulfur sprays, I've tried a few sulfuides way back when, but not for awhile now.Have you tried a sulfur spray?
You just buy the wettable sulfur powder..it doesn't mix great but I will be using it on all my grows. Use it early veg and right before flower.No, not many sulfur sprays, I've tried a few sulfuides way back when, but not for awhile now.
Might be worthwhile, I suspect, especially with the approach I"m taking.
The survival and egg production of T. urticae females was affected to the greatest extent by P. persimilis, followed by powdery mildew. Residual sulfur had a short-term suppressive effect on T. urticae egg production but did not influence survival and reproduction of P. persimilis
