DEATH TO THE MITES. EXPENSIVE 50.00 FOR THE 2000 AT WILL CALL Nice people in Romoland ca.

 

[HempRocket]

Sorry to hear about the mites.

 

[El Gusanito]

4-11
Added new floor fan and changed my light time to run in the night to keep the temp in the room lower thus increasing the breeding cycle of the mites
also added more lady bugs to help the rest of the critters.

 

[El Gusanito]

Finally there are only a few of those dam spider mites it took a combination of things to get it under control 'ha ha " . Used pyirthirin changed time light schedule to nite time for change of temperture adding cooler air and more venting and LIVE BUGGS YES MORE LIVE BUGS.
Had look this morning and there where only a few live eggs more light spraying with pyirthrin it should be good to go.

Predators worked well but got corn base on my buds they are dank bud

The taste is good but I donot like it as much as the blue dream Already cut some tops and let some light in fatten up the rest.
