How to Eliminate Mites - IPM Protocol #4

[@roontoon5806]

This is the fifth video I've watched on a mite problem and this has been by far the most helpful and informative. Thank you!

[@MonsterGardensChannel]

Great to hear!

[@nut-n-fancymedicalgrowers8776]

You all talk about safer ways to rid them yet I see nowhere on this video that rids them with a safe product . We use 50/50 alcohol water mix and it kills every last one . Why do any more then that?

What would you use for flowering stage? Pretty humid here in Florida so there are insects EVERYWHERE. Watched tons of videos and I’ve yet to find something I can use during flowering for flies/gnats/spiders/mites.

[@Sss-on2bv]

​@@cringesh1t427 use spider mite predators ( amblyseius californicus) they will eat the mites and once they've eaten them all they will eat eachother and die themselves lol they have no interest in the actual plant

[@raakmore4443]

What about alcohol and water mixture does it work

[@CrankCase08]

Just stick some garlic cloves in the growing medium randomly around the grow area. The garlic grows and repels the red spider mite.

[@kylerobinson8913]

100 percent essential oils are the way. Sesame and clove also. Shop vacs also work for bad infestations.

[@lindseyzacek5211]

Have used garlic...does work well...but sprays will finish the job.

Careful spraying oil based stuff when using some indoor lighting. The oil droplets on the plants will cause hot spots and damage the plant.

Just spray at lights out, or turn the lights off or down until it’s dried.

[@bryanbatton01]

I have a question for you

[@SetTheCurve]

I don’t feel like I got any idea of how to deal with mites. I guess the moral of the story was use oil? What about in flower? What about when you can’t access every part of the plant? Sigh

[@DailyMusic]

Burned all leaves with neem oil. Will never use it again.

[@xbulletcakez]

Cuz you don’t know how

[@raymondvo7758]

background music is horrible.. freaking bother my hearing a lot...

[@JohnnyThceeds]

I think that using Bonide 142 Sulphur Dust Fungicide is much more practical and beneficial to the plant. Both organic and devastating to bad bugs. Spray once when young and again before flower. Plants and good bugs love it and bad bugs die and don't come back. Mixes well with water and use as a foliar spray. 1 Tbsp per gallon is good. Mix with small amount of water, let sit till dissolved then add to the larger volume. This is also preventive so give it a try.

[@Third_Eye_on_the_Sky]

Johnny Thceeds It’s decent but never mix sulphuric with oil based products and don’t spray either one within 30 days of using one or the other. You will end up with some very burnt foliage beyond light or heat burn the tissue will take extreme damage.

[@anyshitt]

I was really into what Johnny had suggested, but then I read your reply to him, I think common sense dictates that I agree with you on the 30 day delay aft er spray, but do you know of any other way to keep plants indoor and outdoor protected from damaging life forms? Frankly I dont like the whole idea of 'NEAM" it sounds like some Hippie dippie form of pest /plant relations..I say kill the bastards with prejudice.

[@Third_Eye_on_the_Sky]

Outside in Cali mites have trouble reproducing due to the extreme heat since Im in full sun. I also run a few foliars besides pesticides. Neem is something I always run however I switched to azamax recently and dont run it outside though especially while blooming oil and that odor is the last thing you want on your flowers. the aza max is a neem extract that is a concentrated form of the natural occuring pesticide in Neem cold pressed neem can treat just about all 200 or so diseases a plant can get, does nothing for hermaphrodites stress or leaf septoria. I run avid during veg after I give it time to enter plant tissue I dip seedlings in aza max. from there I switch around because immunities will develop in the bugs and it wont be effective diatomaceous earth light soil dustings since water renders it useless, pemetherin from a feed store since it is not on shelves above less than 1% purity( useless). depending on the pest I have a few natural remedies since the plant health is my main priority. insecticidal soap 100% cold pressed neem oil plus a teaspoon of dawn in warm water shaken well and constantly if aza max is not available for substitution. My biggest problem is caterpillars! BT the bacillus bacteria is sprayed in the evening mostly bottoms of leaves but saturating the entire plant once a week in bloom. I have had way less problems with bugs these days since I started running compost teas along with my 20-20-20 all purpose not at the same time lol. If you know about soil you probably mix in alot of good food but the bacteria breaks down from chlorinated water and heavy salts in my feed, thus the compost teas rich in funguses and bacterias, I use earth juice pro mix bloom and organic molasses for the bacteria and fungus to eat and multiply in 5 gallon buckets with an airstone& pump for 2 days. lol I got off on a huge rant but pests are guaranteed to attack so treat first try not to bring clones or seedlings from outside your sterile space, start them in a treated very clean room sweep daily sulphur prill is a must for me inside but only coat plants with a ph mold cant survive and pests are slowed down minimally. fungus gnats are easy just put a layer of gravel on top of your soil and lay sticky mats. Any time I will help you if I can just ask I like the Marijuana Garden Saver for issues a guide that teaches you how to identify any deficiency disease mold fungus or pest by simply looking at the leaves. 10 years in and I am still learning but, all outdoor plants exceed 2 lbs if I get the seeds started and moved outside march 1st after 2 months vegging under metal halide 600w digital ballasts. Try to beat my record of 3 and 3/4 pounds of dried processed stanky dank on one plant. I have matched it twice nothing bigger yet but if I had a legit greenhouse or proper acreage the sky is the limit.

[@gabrielhansen6613]

azamax is banned from sale in oregon as of jan 2018

[@Third_Eye_on_the_Sky]

Kris Roberts : It’s impossible to keep the little buggers with the type of grow rooms that are practical. I prefer predatory mites if I’m getting all eccentrically organic. Better to advertise as organic and run what you gotta run safely and responsibly first I’m not a savage. Lady bugs fly directly away outside without a ladybug shelter in a greenhouse even then it’s a high to total death rate. Basically if the lights don’t get em the ventilation pesticides or lack of a nest surely will.

[@nickneeley8798]

Whats your thoughts on hydrogen peroxide and water I've used it before i put 12 tablespoons per gallon it seems to work for me but you can burn the plants if its mixed to strong

Its likely powdery mildew. If you’re already flowering u can spray 34% h202 diluted 1:100-1:200 (19-38 mL/gal) if youve yet to flower you can spray wettable sulfur at 15 mL/ gal. Spray when lights off 1-2times/week

what would be advised to use on small number of spider mites (just a couple not an infestation during flower stage?

[@kevinboguard3610]

I would just a paint brush and brush them off, if you dont have too many, a couple hours of brushing should take care of a whole decent sized room, you could dip the brush in some essential oils if you want to get really nasty on the fuckers but obviously dont brush on the buds just the undersides of leaves to whipe them and their eggs off.

Forever so I only use at the 2 and a half month mark or so once. I keep it as cold and wet as possible and if you have a sealed room and C02 tangs and regulators you can gas them bitches honestly if you run Neem start in a sterile mite free room and use sulphur prill with fans clearing the air out pumping fresh in with a stronger fan and you sweep never bring clones in and vacuum regular + switching between bug bombs you will not have a problem unless you are bringing them in yourself or pumping in air without hepa filters I have had severe mite infestations and they can reduce the overall yield and make overall quality drop but, I mean that was my first crop and I broke 6 of my 10 commandments for a heavy happy yield...
