Return of the mites

dude, do those things move? if not, im guessing its some kind of fungus or mould given you are in a humid area im guessing? Some people use milk, to get rid of that, but hydrogen peroxide is good at killing fungus/mould.

A good blast from the hose is great. It can be used to lower numbers, pre spray.

Definitely a small amount, especially if you use detergent (like dawn). Too much can tear plants up.

I’m loving the grow style too. I enjoy making my own nutes. It gives me a sense of accomplishment.

I did my own last year when I had no access to nutrients, commercial that is, so I went KNF style and did well with nettles for veg and made my own bloom flowering for my vegetable patch.

I spray the ‘water’ from young coconuts with either SST, LAB, Aloe or on it’s own and always have happy glossy plants for days after. I document every feed in a note pad through all my runs and if it’s something that works it gets a :white_check_mark: or vice versa :x:

Every time coco is in the mix it gets a :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:

Works amazing outdoors in the tropics, can’t comment elsewhere :v:t4:

Almost positive they were eggs or poop from the cabbage aphid or ‘brevicoryne brassicae’ because they were the only moving things I could ID… other then the usual odd spidermite.

Today’s morning leaf inspection was all clear yew The 20ml winds help that too that’s for sure

That makes sense because I’ve been pulling off indica leaning varieties here in the tropics when everyone told me to grow land races :man_shrugging:t4:

bud structure of indicas tend to mold in humid environments.

That’s my point, I was told not to even bother trying indica here in the jungle but I’ve pulled off multiple runs. I’ve culled a few varieties but majority are doable, in the dry season anyway :v:t4:
