What is "safest soap"?Have just used safest soap. And spread garlic around. Fingers crossed
Lol sorry. SaferWhat is "safest soap"?
Well it seems I have thrips too. This is my first time growing. Not as easy as I thought.I second the Neem Oil being a choice. I use it while the plants are vegetating. Once they are in flower I switch over to Nuk Em which is considered to be organic.
Walking through several of the local hydro or grow shops I have noticed many choices of mite or insect controls and most of them are considered organic in one way or another. Most of them seem to have one or more ingredient that is made from plant oils.
@BemBies, if you have found some mites it is a sign that you have to jump on it to get those critters under control. It is possible to kill each and every one of them but it is not easy. A few of them always seem to be hiding and do not get killed by anything you might spray. I suggest a lot of research and look for ways to schedule your spraying in a way that not only kills as many as possible but also breaks the cycle.
Have a great day.
Lol sorry. Safer
why the garlic?Have just used safest soap. And spread garlic around. Fingers crossed
Thank you so much very informative. Have orders neem spray"Azadirachtin, a major component of neem oil, is rapidly broken down. Microbes and light break down the pesticide in soil, water and on plants. The half-life of azadirachtin in soil ranges from 3 - 44 days. In water, the half-life ranges from 48 minutes to 4 days. It also rapidly breaks down on plant leaves; the half-life if 1 - 2.5 days. The remaining components of neem oil are broken down by microbes in most soil and water environments."
If concerned about neem on flowers, wash it off with a mild dish soap mist, then rinse with sprayed RO water before harvest. I use neem as a maintenance tool. It prevents and kills insects and powdery mildew, which can be a problem in my greenhouse. Grasshoppers shrug it off, though.
Garlic does repel some insects, especially mosquitoes. It might repel mites. Not sure if it will repel the ones that are already on the plant but spreading it around might keep new ones from showing up.why the garlic?
Be sure to spray the soil too. They tend to hide there sometimes.Thank you so much very informative. Have orders neem spray
