Hi all,
this is my first post, I'm a new grower and on day 3 of my grow I noticed tell-tale signs of spider mites on several of my plants. i went to home depot and bought some no-pest strips and after looking at several insecticides, I was interested in "EcoSMART Organic Insecticide" which claimed to be non-toxic and safe to use on plants you eat.
The instructions said to spray the plants but not so much that they are dripping, so that's exactly what I did. I gave them all a nice spray but none of the plants were too wet. I left and came back 4 hours later and this is what I found (images attached).
My only conclusion is that the insecticide must have done this, since the plants all looked healthy before I sprayed them, and they all drooped in a matter of 4 hours.
Has anyone used this insecticide before? What has your experience been?
The ingredients are:
.25% Rosemary Oil
.25% Peppermint Oil
.25% Thyme Oil
.25% Clove Oil
99% Other Ingredients*
*Water, Mineral Oil, Octadecenoic Acid Potassium Salt, Lecithin
Do any of these ingredients sound like something that would kill my plants?
I rinsed the plants with water after I saw them like this, and watered them again, hoping to flush the insecticide out....is there any hope for my crop or should I dump it?
