first off, whats up everyone hope everythings green.
Now to make this as short as possible.I had noticed the beginning stages of a mite infestation while checking my girls one day.immediately i remembered reading a thread somewhere where the person was talking about a product that they had used to fight them and was pretty happy with it.they said the main active ingredient was Rosemary oil.I began searching online where to find some and eventually came across Whole Foods and decided to stop by.I purchased a half ounce bottle of rosemary essential oil for $4.99 and a 1 ounce bottle of pure Neem seed oil for $11.99 and some organic olive oil goats milk soap for $2.99.
After i got home i checked online to see if i could find some dosage amounts. After finding little i decided to add the whole 15ml of rosemary oil and the whole bottle of neem(30ml)I used a gallon of spring water and blended a couple small slices of soap in blender with 1 Habbinero pepper a 2 cloves of garlic (shouldve used 1).
The hardest part will be getting the neem to blend.
Anyway after mixing for a while i drenched the infected girls right b4 lights out(this stuff reeks. I recommend a doctors mask and rubber gloves).I repeated the next weak (7 days later even though i didnt notice any more after the first spray).
Im happy to say it worked very very well.
not only did it kill the mites but it didnt harm the plant and actually made the leaves shiny and pretty.
(OH i forgot that i set the ph to around 7ish so to also prevent mold and fungus from trying to take advantage of the dampness).
I do have to say that while the mites had done some damage some leaves i was able to catch them pretty early and i know that had a lot to do with my success also.So remember early action is best.
I think that covers it if anyone has any questions feel free to ask of course.
One more thing i have been mite free for over a month now so i think it worked well and all for under $20 bucks and i still have 3/4 gallon left.
Heres one of the former infected still frosty as ever
