Root mite fix?

[frankobud]

I have root mite's the plants are in the forth week of veg and I'm going to transplant them into 5 gal. Buckets. can I mix botanigard 22wp and water and dip the rootball directly in the mix? Or will this hurt my plants. If I can does anyone know the ratio?

You mean RA(Root Aphids) I think.......and ....I know why nobody dove into this yet....
Do check out root aphids and see if that's what it is......then try
(re)searching that.

I prefer to use something more organic and less toxic such as neem oil. And growinman is right, they will be Root Aphids most likely. You can get predatory bugs to take them out, but i recommend attacking them with neem oil depending how bad the situation is. Make sure you read up lots about how to use neem oil and which predatory bugs to buy if you're going to go down this track.

Here is a pic of bugs in my worm farm. I think this is where I got them.

Bubble up 1 cup of neem cake in 5 gallons of water for 48 hours. Soil drench 3 times, 4 days apart, and they will be gone for good. You can then do it very couple of weeks to keep them dead. Works better than neem oil, and cheaper than azamax, and that kind of shit.
