I sprayed the Met 52 this morning...It's says it controls whiteflies also.
Weird stuff though! :confused:
It does not want to mix or stay mixed..Im going to try the silica spreader next time

I cant find anything about it either way

@CannaCrone ;Bummer man!:(
Did you use the Nuke em at the highest strength?
I used 3 cups of it in 4 gals of water and did that twice.
I probably should have sprayed it again this morning..but

I do have some systemics still working for me.

Almost all of my plants are still praying and drinking lots of water
And getting new leaves and buds :)
wanna see?...lol :woot:

Got mine yesterday and did the first spray last night. Definitely weird stuff and interested to hear what you find out. Plan on emailing them too. It says it already has an emulsifier in the mix and it will mix easily with water. It didn't. I added Agsil and didn't seem to help. Doing another round of it tonight.

The iso-alcohol is only ingredient that causes caution, the microbes/microscopic elements is what is my primary concern of being effected by iso. Worth checking into.

silica is used as the emulsifier. use with your weekly neem/essential oil as a foliar spray.

aloe or yucca is the sticker/spreader, best to use aloe without preservatives. that contains preservatices.
lilyofthedesert juice or 200x aloe powder @ 1/4 cup gallon fits the bill as far as preservatives.

AS far as nuke em, read the directions and do what the manufacturer suggests. not familiar with the instructions.
I recall Met52 ec contains oils and was not to be used with a sticker spreader. But do not take my work for it. Please check the instructions to be safe.

beneficials is a very broad term. (see above about the sensitive ones) new ones could fly in after you killed the ones present with iso alcohol fwiw

They sell that aloe vera at trader joes also. Make sure to get active aloe vera. Any ole aloe vera will not achieve optimum results. As far as Russet Mites I don't think anything except chemicals are gunna help. Depends on sverity of course. Ruset Mites killed my yield last year...not fun.

Sprayed another round of Nuke Em, this time with the super dose of 2 oz per 30 oz water. After 15 minutes took a sample. All the immature bugs were not moving. Still saw movement on the larger ones but much slower. No where near as active as after the 2 doses of regular strength. Will sample and scope more in the AM and report. Here are a few pics. I hope this turns out okay. Apologies if I screw it up.

In trying to preview this to see if I did it right, I get an error message telling me that I don't have permission to do this. If this doesn't come through, can someone direct me to the help file so I learn how? Thanks much!
