YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!!! I want to do this 100% organically as this will be medicine! I was afraid of using soap on the flower but i will give it a try. Best to spray at night or day?
Ok first and not to bust your bubble but.....
you said in your first post
"I grow outdoors with organic soil, beginning feed with fox farm trio & General Hydroponic pH kit. "
Organic and bottles aren't a thing. So you are growing with nutrients and they are not organic.
That said doesn't matter but it you wanna grow organically you need to build your soil from scratch with organic inputs. Doing this "might" help some.
Silica gets sprayed on plants or foilered on. When building an organic soil mix we organic growers add in rock dust/granite dust to our soil mix and we add in a fair amount. This rock dust is about 60-70% silica. So the plants get a steady supply from the soil (your back yard dirt probably has a good bit of silica in it already) and a quick burst from spraying on. It won't get rid of pests per se. It's just a plant immune system booster.
One of it's benefits is that it will boost the plants immune system and like you and me the plants immune system will fend off many pests.
Ok so you wanna get rid of pests organically?
Get the silica that you can add to water ... Pro-tekt is one product.
For actual pests you need something that will kill them. I use Monterey Garden spray @ 2tbs / gal of filtered water, 1 tsp of Pro-tekt and 2 tbs of Fulpower (fulvic acid).
Spray up and down all around under leaves specially.
This can be sprayed up until the day of harvest. You won't need to go that far.
Spinosad is the active ingredient. Its a bacteria so 1000% organic. For some crazy reason its getting some bad publicity in California for use on cannabis. Never mind its totally ok for use on pretty much every veggie and fruit grown organically in California and its OK for that... food for thought.
I'm thinking there's some hokey pokey at play with big AG and chemical companies in bed with politicians.
Anyway, spray this mix every 3 days and dont miss. Pests like mites and aphids have a life cycle you need to break so the every 3 day thing is how its done.
You won't have any problems after this with pests. Spinosad breaks down very quickly so it's a contact thing with insects and eggs. Spray well and spray often. You cant hurt your plants with Silica or Spinosad.
Silica also very good at helping prevent mold... its a thing the later in the season we get specially outdoors. It's just a matter of time.
Filtered water FTW.
Good luck with pests and your grow. You wanna grow organic, my suggestion is to google "Clackamas Coots organic soil mix".
No bottles no worries. Can do "no-till" and keep using that same soil over and over. I'm on my 8-9th rounds with my current mix I'm running nothing but water now not even any teas or organic amendments.
Edit: Doctor Bronners Peppermint soap is effective for pests and also to imulsify your IPM spray. GO EASY with it (a few drops is all that's needed). It has a lingering taste so not good for flowers really.
