I only ment that as bugs flourish indoors. Indoor growing certainly isn’t a hardship to plants.typically its a better environment.

If you have access to a rain barrel you can try washing the whole plant by submerging it under water . I’d be spraying right up till you see buds forming.
Vernal is correct out door conditions won’t stop the mites you need to take action and kill them ASAP . Capture some lady bugs and dump them on your infected plants.

Definitely some truth to that. Ones that show up “naturally” on OD plants from other “regular” plants probably aren’t going to be as pesticide resistant as the mite populations that have been riding from grow room to grow room on clones for last 10+ years lol.

I’ve heard of this brand from Dude Grows. I got a pen and pencil, taking every recommendation

100 % agree brother. Some build up extra resistances “super bugs”

I’ll definitely look into and invest in some potash. It’d be cool if I could find it at my garden store

Just gonna leave this here too. While my recommendation may work and is one of the few options for organic gardener. @vernal recommendations will deffinetly kill them dead 100% if you go the route.

Yeah this is no clone. Literally all I did was once I saw pistils/hairs and could smell the plant from the view window, I moved it outside.

Grown from seed by Gas Reaper Genetics. I’m convinced it would have been smooth sailing if I hadn’t moved it to the jungle that is my veggie garden… lol

I’ve had great success with lost coast plant therapy at 1oz/gal and 99% isopropyl at 1oz/gal. Spray every other day for a week or two. If plant therapy’s out of your price range, look for something that has a suffocant oil. The soybean oil in the plant therapy suffocates them and the iso dehydrates them. It’s not a systemic solution but it’s definitely helped me save a lot of plants. Only thing is it’ll nuke your beneficials as well, but it’s super safe for the plant and pretty damn mild even as far as organic pesticides go.

Pour 8 ounces of 3-percent hydrogen peroxide in 1 gallon of water, and add 8 ounces blackstrap molasses or white sugar. Stir the solution and pour it into a spray bottle. Then, spray the plant with the mixture, fully soaking the surface underneath the leaves, the soil and the crown of the plant. - from google

Also sprinkle baking soda around plants…

Indeed, Sevin is ok to use. It used to be widely used on Cannabis until all the other items became commercially available. You rinse Buds after harvest (water, H202, etc)? SS/BW…mister :honeybee: :100: :pray: :heart_eyes:

That’s what we used back in the day but didn’t feel like arguing.

That is the stuff to use @gramps. However, mites will become immune to your spray by the third life cycle. Roughly a week or so. It is best to have a rotation of 3 different ones to use. Rotate each week for indoors.

Outdoors nature normally is pretty good at things, you can always give her some help.

We’ve used liquid sevin for decades. Sprayed every couple of days for two weeks. Under and over the leaves. Complete and thorough soakings. It has worked for us.
