Gang,
Late spring I bought some house plants and herbs such as Orange Mint, Chocolate Mint and Lemon Balm.
Well, I was raided by spider mites. I am pretty sure they were on at least the one house plant & THEY LOVE MINTS AND LEMON BALM!
They feasted on those plants and subsequently attacked my MJ.
I bought safer soap, and Dyna-Neem to kill and control them.
Using those products kept them away from my MJ and house plants, however after I harvested they keep on coming back!
I have read many threads where people say to clean everything and that is what Im gonna do.
My question is what did you use to clean with?
More info:
I dont want to use a Doctor Doom fogger because it is flammabe and I have several pilot lights in the house I rent and could cause an explosion and or the land lord coming by.
I bought a 1 gallon hand pump pressure sprayer to distribute safer soap and or other cleaning agents as needed.
In general here is my plan:
>I am going to spray my plastic pots, trays with safer soap and neem oil.
>Any seedling / cloning domes I am going to wipe down with dish soap and vinegar.
But, I want feedback on what YOU used in your growing area, room or cab (I have a C-25 grow cab) including tables, chairs, storage totes, etc.?
Likewise, what did you use to clean your lighting equipment?
Sadly, I had this nice big palm tree that just kept on getting raided by the mites. I kept on spraying it over and over and over. Finally I had enough, took it outside, chopped it down with my machete and threw it out.
About year ago I got some scale from this shitty mushroom compost I bought from this dude who had this huge pile of it in his yard.
I thought scale was a pain in the ass to deal with but now I can truly say I know what is meant when people refer to spider mites as the BORG.
Thanks,
