sorry stoner moment lol... i read it too and i was like ohh fuck people are gonna think im for real... honestly i didnt wear anything when i would spray i would just hold my breath lol what a dumbass i was for doing that... i dont use it anymore... i was thinking maybe its not a good idea to go to the hydro stores because of how many growers go the those stores and are carrying bugs on their clothing...
it sux that people sell or gift other people infected cuts.. i know its our responsibility to spray and check for these fuckn pest but damn sometimes we trust our friends not to do us wrong... i really stopped adding cuts to my garden.. 2013 im going to start popping the beans ive been collecting for over 15 yrs...
this is key man thanks duh veg room full on arsenal!! everyone Im sure can attribute something fairly useful to this threadI like to flower as organically as possible but when it comes to my mother and veg room all bets are off. It all starts with treating your mother/veg room and plants aggressively.
Just outside of my veg room I put on a Tyvek suit, and disposable booties. EVERY single time, no matter how much of a rush I'm in. Workers do the same and are asked to shower and change into clean clothes before they come over.
In my mother/veg room I use sticky traps, bombs, systemics and sprays. When I get a new cut from someone is when any and all problems will occur. As soon as I get new cuts I water them with 1ml per gal of Eagle 20 and I spray them with 1 ml per gal of Eagle 20 and 1/4-1/2 tsp per gal of Floramite (in the same sprayer). Two days later I will spray them with 1 ml per gal of E20 and 1/4-1/2 tsp per gal of Avid (in the same sprayer). Two days later I'll set off a Pyrethrum bomb and water them with Triazicide and Bayer Tree & Shrub. Then I'll spray Azamax once a week as my main preventative from there on out. If I do run into mites again at any point then I go back on the Avid and Floramite leapfrog every 72 hours.
I sterilize the veg room once a month (if I wasn't kinda lazy I'd do it once a week) as well with with a 5% bleach solution. I spray and wipe down everything but the plants and mop the room with the same thing. Also I hang Hot Shot, No Pest Strips. One in the entry room, one in veg and one in the flower room for the first 3 weeks of 12/12.
I will be adding Forbid and Conserve SC to the mother room preventative regimen and rotating everything randomly from here on out. I'll be using a 4'x4' quarantine tent in the mother room from this point forward as well.
All in all my preventative schedule works really well. If you do obtain cuts from someone ask what pesticides they use and at what dosages...this has recently caused a problem for me as the person I obtained cuts from was using the same things as I was and the mites became very resistant...I didn't find this out until it became an issue.
And of course you should read all labels, turn off all fans and lights, wear all the protective gear...a full face mask respirator, Tyvek suit (with a hood), gloves, etc...These are all very dangerous products and should be treated with extreme caution.
Great thread ;)
