Beautiful pics sticky! I really like elev8 my LSC was some of the best erb I've had in a long time. Not knock out strong, but just quality erb. If I had to guess what the thc level is, id have to say average or just above. But smooth terpy greatness. Soon as I know my bug issue is gone I'll be cracking more from them

After inspecting for bugs I see that the eggs are hatching. I found some tiny critters on the move. They look like they are gone till I get the scope out. It's only in veg tent so far. I had high hopes for the spray I previously used in combination with the ladybugs. But now I'm thinking ladybugs won't wipe them out. I got a bottle of captain Jack's and sprayed them at lights out. It's got spinosad and beneficial fungals in it. Hopefully it will work for the eggs too

that's why you need to spray every three days you have to break the chain your going to win you need to be very particular about getting that spray on every part of the plant if that doesn't work try spraying every two days there are other peeps on here with experience on these fuggars I only no what ive read good luck buddy! :)

Unless you breed poultry this is pretty much always bad news. It kinda reads like the last entry in some lost explorers journal...
 
Is there a preferred time of day to spray, ie before lights on, after lights on etc? Also, do you wait to see evidence of infestation on the leaves to know you have bugs? I see the occasional dust particle flying around and my mind immediately thinks bugs, so I stare into the area for some more minutes trying to confirm or deny. I need a better investigation process I guess.

I read to spray just at lights out. I sprayed the Bayer stuff every 3 days for 3 applications. Thought it was good. They are sneaky little bastards. I just went and checked after spraying the captain Jack's at lights out last night. They are healthy and on the move. I'm going to grow shop today to talk about it with the dude there. His shop and I've known him for few years. Seems to be knowledgeable. I also saw some info online of people saying they spray different stuff 3 days apart. Maybe I'll try different sprayed in a rotation. I'll get er done on way or another :laughtwo:
 
The reason they say to spray different stuff is because they become resistant to what you are spraying with.

I nearly have mine killed and Iactually thought they were , but nope saw one. Now I know there can’t be many because there is no damage but I must be diligent in spraying even after I think they are gone if I truly want to be rid of them.

Keeping them at bay so you can harvest successfully is not a big deal.
 
Thank God they are not in my flower tent yet. I just checked the hours for grow store and they open up in 2 hours. These bugs are disturbing. I had them long time ago and the Bayer spray worked then. It was a old bottle I used this time before I ran out. I'd like to stay organic with the spray. Don't want to be smoking anything toxic shit :laugh: Dam ladybugs are slackers :rofl:

I rotate through 4 different pest sprays; depending on where the plant is in life, and what part I'm spraying...

Iso alcohol/water (1:9)
Spinosad
Neem oil
Pyrethrins (rarely)

All work great! Also, top dressing with Diatomaceous earth & adding sticky traps helps with the soil gnats.
