Wow! Thats a real bad one. Ive been at war with those little fuckers on this indoor run. Im about ready to throw in the towel and pull the run, and shut down that tent.

I have 4 big GG4$ plants outside in a unheated greenhouse that are my healthiest plants. All my indoor plants look like shit

 

[captain planet]

Thankfully that was about the worst stronghold they got.... Did do a good Amt of chloraphil damage , but all in all I was able to outpace them for the most part and heck there was enough to share with them bastards lol.... I'm gonna wipe em out, next time I'm down to just clones

That sucks Doc

 

[unclefishstick]

well,i wont bitch about my little whitefly problem then! just hit them with neem again,spot sprayed some dr doom to kill some flyers but im not seeing many anymore...it will be good to get the houseplants outside for the summer...going to have to repot about half of them...

 

[StoneyK]

mites suck!!!
I just had to do a pull down and stop my perpetual to start fresh clean an bleach and bomb em a few times...

Do you guys spray outside of your rooms?
I found nothin keeps the bugs away better than a good maintenance spray of a quality pesticide on the exterior of your building and all window frames.
well that an not bringing in infectes clones!lol

 

[captain planet]

I do do an exterior spray but im also in and out of the veggie gardens all the time too, and I bring in store soil , etc.

i managed to knock mine down with predatory mites and rosemary oil spray and a bit of iso and water sprays,lost 2 plants to them but plants right next to them got away with little infestation...
and nothing stronger than neem in veg,i was lucky and the plants were small enough that i just made a trashcan full of neem solution and flipped the plants upside down and dunked and swirled them...


well,after a bit of tinkering i took the little speaker i got yesterday and cut up a water bottle to make a little speaker holder that fits into a bottle cage,a little gorilla tape and a velcro strap,a bit of foam padding and viola! a lightweight inexpensive bike sound system...

Spends probably thousands of dollars on a bike and all manner of cool gadgets to strap to it, and here ya are chopping up a water bottle to add tunes. You're a strange cookie unc Pretty crafty though .

 

[pappy masonjar]

Looks good unc.
In the can, we used to make "speakers" like that out of 3 Styrofoam cups, toothpaste, and those little "ear buds" speakers. They worked pretty well.
Yours looks a hellava lot better tho

 

[unclefishstick]

lol i know doc was saying theres a good bose speaker that fits a bottle cage but this little speaker was only 30 bux so i can torture test the rig and decide if i want to upgrade at some point and make the mp3 player bluetooth compatible.this rig only weighs like 6 oz so its not that much to add to an already heavy bike....i have water bottle cages on the trailer now,and i already added an led light strip to it and a flashing red light,it would be sort of funny to add some more led lights in different colors and grab a second one of these speakers and have a pimptastic little set up!

Was thinking about predatory mites to Unc, def not a bad idea when the plants are to far along to feel safe using avid

 

[unclefishstick]

well,there yah go,2 seconds of googling bought up a ready made solution for 140 dollars,someone makes a rugged water bottle size speaker,just need a bluetooth adapter and off i go...probably add it to my wish list,i bet rei has one,i will check the bose too because i know it will sound tits...

 

[unclefishstick]

and of course further searching show many options like handlebar mounts,looks like a couple hundred bucks and i would have a pretty nice on the road stereo system,i may need a second solar panel to run all this stuff!

 

[Ganoderma]

you'll have a fully wearable solar suit in no time at this rate.

I used predatory mites in my bud room years ago with good rez.
but avid in VEG kills the shit out of them

 

[unclefishstick]

no kidding,with a set of google glasses and a comp onboard to run everything,an integrated heads up gps display with built in video camera and wireless internet access on the go!

I tried predatory mites before, my problem is that they required a higher humidity level then what I could provide/maintain. If you're in an area where humidity is low to none on average the predatory mites might not be the best idea cause its to hard to keep them alive.

I make a dish soap bases spray with SM-90, horticulture oil, neem oil, and a recent addition to the mix, Montery garden insect spray.
