CO2 Saturation for Spider Mites

[cannagirl]

must have

Well it's official, I got Spider mites drinking Neem and Pyrithium like it's candy. They've built up a resistance to Neem and Pyrithium. I'm going with the AZAMAX next. Any advise will be appreciated.

I'm using the AZAMAX drench application for .8% which will be 2 Tablespoons per gallon and it says to use 1 pint per gallon of soil, so I'll be using 5 pints every 5 days. I hope this works.

Sounds like the mites I had. Neem didn't do a thing. The pyrethrum bug bombs did nothing as well. Azatrol only slowed them down. Floramite destroyed them in one application at half strength.

in my parts we have super bugs. this only works for thge most mature adults. nopt teens or eggs. the adults turn brown and burn. but the teens and eggs keep truckin.

did you notice any other effects on the plants. peace, d

make sure when your using neem or azatrol/max, pray in the dark or without direct light and rinse the plants off before you turn the lights back on. It keeps them from burning with the oil on the leaves.

bicyclebenny: you have to treat everything in veg and your mom with either Floramite or, if that doesn't work, Avid, but only in veg that way the plant has time to rid itself of the pesticides before you smoke it. I have heard that if you start taking cuts in willow water and continue to feed with willow water that your plants will become resistant to spider mites and powdery mildew. Never tried it, but worth looking into

Too bad there's no willow trees around here (the mites ate 'em ) I'd love to try that. I know Sevin will do it, but people smoke this shit, so I resist the urge to use it. They aren't gonna get a resistance to oil spray, since it suffocates them. The ones in veg get sprayed every two days. I'll give 'em another shot of Dr Doom, but they mostly laughed at me the last time I used that. I noticed I have both red and two- spotted mites. I wonder what their progeny will be.

Oh, I totally pray in the dark

 

[cannagirl]

heheh, ya know what I mean! Spray...

 

[bicyclebenny]

Back on topic, how much co2 for how long to gas 'em? Is there a table somewhere?

 

[SergeantGod]

no table. i went by my friend who manages a grow shop. his recommendation for a room my size was that it would take 15-20 minutes for it to get to 5k+ ppm then let it run for an hour. i trusted him enough with 50 very large plants.
so......there you go.
