I believe its location. I'm in a very arid region, with precipitation as a seasonal element. Very few pest. Also strain is key, just like a real farmer, you choose what's going to react best to your climate. Wonder if someone has geographically charted what strains grow best in each region?

In regard to neem and neem-derivatives (Azamax, Azotrol) they can be applied via root drench to avoid having to spray in late flower. Azadirachtin is the active ingredient in all of these. People often say it's a repellent only, but I think it's because the only contact killing that happens is from the soaps often mixed in. The major work is done after the plant absorbs the azadirachtin, it becomes poisonous to most insects, actually disrupts their reproductive capabilities too. It's also very, very important to mix neem oil up in some kind of soap to act as an emulsifier. Otherwise it just kind of sits in big globs in the water and isn't absorbed well, neither by the roots or as a foliar spray. I think this leads some people to believe it does nothing at all.
The problem with mites is they reproduce so rapidly that if even a tenth of a thriving population is resistant/tolerant of one pesticide, then they will reproduce and get a foothold again. That's why an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure, because it keeps them from ever establishing a successful breeding population. Otherwise the only thing that really works is reapplication every two or three days to keep killing successive generations. The problem with neem is because it's absorbed by the plant it's more of a long lasting, time-released kind of thing. You can't really reapply it every couple of days with the same effect like you can with a contact-killing pesticide like pyrethrin. Pyrethrin is the flame thrower, neem is salting the fields.
Mites are like a fact of life where I live, and I have never known anyone that didn't have to deal with them at some point. So knowing that I started giving mine neem every four weeks in my last grow and never had a single problem with them this time around. The smell isn't that bad to me, not as bad as pyrethrin anyway. I also did a lot to maintain cleanliness, pretty much having a whole quarantine routine where I switched into new clothes and showered if I had been anywhere outside that day. From what I have seen though if they're around outdoors where you live, it's only a matter of time before they come home with you and get inside.
.afterharvest try to sterilize the phis ...i also use this mixed wolace and te pots and the plant...5 small autos...tallest 15-18 cm..so i use bleech mixed with water maybe one fifth of bleech...and i wash the whole plant...today all plannts expect purple kush(strange) are affected...some just the top leavs looks like dry but not yet at least...another burn the fan leaves..turn brown..and more sympotms..probably from this...i hope it is not from my home recipe.
anyway the pants wll recover,but it is auto and time is not waiting.maybe 1 or2 not to made it.my purple kush have nothing...it is not tall..the only problem and the one shark bite became like plant with long andmany branches...the highest yield it could give me and the 4 tops are shit...not yellow but leaves are curly ...the shape they take when it dry..anway,.,it was also a problem (human mistake) thats why i mention it.
cheers guys![]()
I don't understand why u would use bleach on ur plants?
I am new to all this...remember that when I give my limited advice
Next time try flamethrower
Start witht the lowest settings, of course.
We live and we learn. Hope you don't mind me trying to lighten up things a little with my joke, especially considering all the troubles you've been having lately.
It's just... well, you have a great sig. So simple and oh, so true. "Plant it and grow it. So simple".
And then you go against your own advice
All the best.
