Halogen
Halogen
I bought three 600 watt Halogen lamps (pretty cheap) from Lowes and also the heat from the mothers 600 watt MH lamp (in a small bathroom size room). Take off front glass cover. I sterilize my mothers room plants and room twice a month and use ogbiowar every ten days will possibly be able to extend this regime to once a month heat treat, and I believe for the first time in five years I have either no Bm's or they are not living on the plants I believe I have beat them with this regime. They are either gone or do not like the heat treatments and or the OGbiowar. As I see no eggs with my digital scope after many hours of looking.(And no sign of BM toxin damage). Or the slight possibility the Swirskii mite predator slow release sachets I distributed around my outside yard twice in three months had some affect also..... Whoa....!!!
I will be purchasing stickers to put on jars that explain the difference between dispensary 95% chance your meds are contaminated with toxins and these meds are omri guaranteed 100 % safe and clean...WHOA...!!!

I can only go from what I know. I just use it full strong. But be sure you use water that has no chlorine ( I just buy bottled water for like 89 cents a gal.) And I shake it up in a 1/2 gallon mason jar then let the talc powder settle for like five mins then carefully pour the top 90% off leaving most of the talc in the bottom of jar,then I do this again so I end up with a gal to use. I honestly don't know about brewing tea but I have heard somewhere that if you keep it bubbling with a air stone or the way I put air in my rez (actually better) is with a simple pump bringing water from bottom to top great way to add air to rez too cause what people don't understand about air and water is not the bubbles but rather moving the surface area of the water is way more efficient. My first apply was at five days then I went to one per week apply..now i'm at once every ten days going to stay at this rate for a while to make sure this rate will assure no re-infestation.The one who knows the most about this is That Ozark dude I believe...All the very best...!

I've been brewing the foliar pack for 72 hours. The site says the fungi cultures need 12-72 hours to germinate.
Here's the link:

Wanted to ask if anyone's tried a rosemary/clove oil spray like sns203 or sns for mites? And how has spinosad 2 faired?
Thanks a ton for your guys hardwork on this thread, great resource

This sounds rite
This sounds rite
This makes sense , But I just follow the instructions on the back of the "Foliar pack" says just to mix and spray. Seems to be working for me. Thanks for the link.

stay away from SNS products...they are over-priced and watered down..

Heat plus Biowar saved my light dep greenhouse when these litte fuckers re appeared at day 26. Probably never really killed them to begin with, but a rotation of heat and biowar for a week and Im harvesting healthy, fat, thrichrome covered buds around 4 weeks later.
Just took the plunge and I have Avid coming in the mail. It should arrive in a few days. I'm using it as a preventative. I suspect my 3-week old veg plants may have broad mites but haven't seen any outward signs. I've been battling them for a year and don't want to take the chance.
The room has been bug bombed, heat treated (150F for at least 1 hour) and bleached between runs.
I'm concerned with the BMs becoming resistant to Avid. Those buggers are REALLY becoming a problem in NorCal and getting generously passed around. Was using Spectracide Triazacide as a solution (recommended by the local gro store). But it proved ineffective and had to chop my last run in week 3
My question is how frequently to apply Avid. I read a lot online about their life cycle and saw a recommendation of every 5-days. Or is every 3-days better? And for how many weeks. I'm still in veg for another 10-days.
Any feedback/advice welcome. Thanks

Jus hit with the og biowar tonight, they seem like they really bounced back since the avid treatments, but Im goin into flower now so no more avid. Havent noticed any new damage so this is a preventative, finna hit um again with it in 4 days, then I was thinkin bout ordering some predator mites. Since this is outdoor I really don't want to have to deal with it every year, so maybe enough predator mites will wipe um out or least keep the population low.

I wouldn't play "the guessing game" with BMs. You either have them or not, which can only confirmed by scoping. The eggs are pretty easy to find on the underside of leaves.
Aside from that, these type of high population bugs always get resistant to any chems, hence the need for alternate ways of dealing with them.
To answer your question, you should spray Avid every three days, as it is not an ovacide, and you must keep killing the newborn. You have to use it several times (at least three).
I'm 90% sure this is damage sourced from broad mites. I have never had broad mite problems until now after I had picked up some clones from a terrible 'clone house'. Many of the clones that I received from them died dropped dead the next day and spread like a virus throughout the tray to neighboring clones one by one.
Somebody help me confirm if this is BM damage? These clones were taken from VERY healthy plants that showed no signs of deficiency, infestation, or disease.

chinqlinq—
to me, that looks like that fungal blight that clones under domes tend to get. i think it's fusarium but not 100 on that. if that xxx you have is PO's xxx though (bubba x master), you might have the little fuckers anyway. the problem ain't the strain either. it's the establishment.
general curses—
1. floramite doesn't do jack squat to broad mites. you might have noticed that the label makes no mention of them, but that would, of course, require one to actually read the fucking label.
2. if you read trade literature anywhere that said you should repeat applications of avid at 3 day intervals, you were hallucinating.
3. if you read trade literature anywhere that advised you to follow up an application of a chemical pesticide with the very same pesticide, you should probably go back and read it again. it doesn't say that.
4. if you are concerned about mites developing a resistance to avid, the very last thing you should do is treat your plants with avid and only avid (see #3 above). the next to last thing you should do is to use avid as a prophylactic on plants that you don't even know have mites.
5. i have a veritable arsenal of deadly chemicals at my shop (along with the handful of organic agents that i have found to actually work). i am not some shaggy wook telling you that a slurry of diatomaceaous earth and patchouli and goat milk is a good substitute for poison. i am telling you that some of you are dumber than a bag of hammers and should learn to read though.
6. i'll speak my piece and entertain any other opinions which are grounded in reason, regardless of how much or how little they comport with my own. further, i am always willing to revise my opinions in light of newer, better information. that being said, i am unequivocally and absolutely done arguing with people on the internet. for one thing, it proves nothing. for another, there is no percentage in feuding with a person whose throat one cannot wrap one's hands around.

7. speaking of organic agents, there is a marked but subtle improvement in the plant that was sprayed with gnatrol vis a vis the one that was treated with kind words alone. can't say it's a fix yet, but the shit definitely bears looking at if you've got it on hand and have nothing else to lose.
