Yeah it's messed up the way the clone prices work. They start at 400 for just one. Then the price goes down for each additional clone, of the same strain (that's a kicker I didn't notice till this morning). 3 clones same strain = 480
Add 3 more from a different strain, comes up to close to 1k.
But 6 of one strain? 600 bucks roughly
I can add them to cart to see the prices.
I've been trying to watch my spending, so I didn't use the spray. But now there's no choice lol. And I found something else that may help even more (see below).
Thanks Azi!
She's at the stage now where she's pushing put pistils. If I order neem, it'll be 10 days or so before it gets here.
But I did some more digging at night and may have found a good solution.
Aphidoletes aphidimyza.
Aphidoletes Larvae (Aphidoletes aphidimyza) is a fly larva that is a voracious consumer of all species of aphids.
The adult is a gall midge with very long legs and slender body (2-3 mm long). They have very long antenna that are bent backwards. The larvae are elongated and translucent orange (2.5 mm long) and vary in colour (yellow, orange, red, brown, grey) depending on prey consumed.
The adults must feed on aphid honeydew and can enter diapause if daylength is shorter than 12- 14 hours of light per day. Growers must use supplemental lighting to avoid diapause and maintain high levels of reproduction under low light conditions. They are weak fliers, but very efficient at prey location. They are active at night, and best released into the crop at dusk.
The eggs are laid near aphid colonies (female can lay 100- 300 eggs in a lifetime). The small, red (or other colour) larvae hatch in 2-3 days at 21˚C. These larvae feed on aphids (up to 50 per day) and kill more than they consume.
i can order 250 larvae for roughly 30 bucks. 1000 for 60 bucks.
Edit- I just noticed the daylight length part......it's cutting it close lol
