Been growing awhile here in a southern state and just happened to meet this hellspawned aracnid and have been fighting with it for three grows now. My first two experiences I basically cut and begin anew. Here's the shit... I don't know if the bugs came in from my seed company, the coco, or my carelessness but they came back, chewing up my Kush and my damn Cheesecake I had tried Forbid the second time but was so frustrated that I tossed it all the next morn. Here we are a-damn-gain. Thousands of alien eggs so I have Forbidated everyone lastnight. I sprayed Soap this morn and I am about to go out and grab a PYrethium tr bomb or two for the backhand smack to thier nasty mouths. I guess I will repeat as needed. I am only 21 day into a 60-90 day veg on the older girls. The sprouts are abt 3 days old. I feel like the Forbid, the bomb, and soaps should do it. I really am exasperated here As we southern folk ain't to fond of this here lil fella its nothing in my flower room so i think I will burn some stuff to be real sure before I lightflip.
Any advice?
Well I have purchased the Avid. But I have come to the conclusion that, if most of you are like me, I am the reason for the mite spread. I am very intimate with my plants. I touch them daily and that is the problem. We intimate growers inadvertedly spread the mites by touch. The larve and eggs of rust mites are very "clingy" and will attach to almost anything that touches. Then it is transplanted when we touch another plant. This can explain why it might be so hard to eradicate them. The Forbid 4f is an Ovicide unfortunately it takes about 4-10 days to get complete results. It only takes an egg 2.3 days to hatch and if it hatches before the Forbid reaches it, it can move to a nonforbinated part of the plant to continue the onslaught. Forbid is NOT systemic. It does not spread to new growth. However, Avid is!!! Yet Avid is NOT an Ovicide and will not kill eggs. The two should be used in conjuction(opinion) along with a third and fourth product. Now it is known that Forbid has a 45 day life in the plant and Avid, 30. BUT THAT DEPENDS ON IF MIXED TO MAX OR MIN SPECIFICATIONS READ LABLES.
What Bayer doesnt tell you, because of Forbid's MOA (mode of action) or its way in, if not mixed strong enough, its chemical comp makes it rather easy for nasty to become super-nasty.
Where do I get this stuff?
