Ok so, ill just rant about IPM and ABAMECTIN VS NEEM ETC for a sec.
After TRYING to control the spider mite population with neem/insecticidal soap and manually killing them and/or spraying them off with water - I turned to the darkside.
I read some @vernal and @BigSur posts regarding the use of abamectin and spiromesifen
I only used abamectin (which by all accounts should be considered organic, but wont get into it) and it has worked wonders. not one single mother fucker in sight. NOT ONE. I dont want to have my dance parade yet cus I know fuckers are like magicians and can just appear mid flower (in which case, i would not use anything and just spray them off with water every 3 days - which is fucking tiring).
But thus far, insecticidal soap and neem did a lot of damage (even when lights out) but abamectin i swear they fucking love this thing. its like deep fried nutritious oreos for them, the next day they wake up all perky and i could swear theyre fucking happy i finally used something on them that works.
anywway that was my rant.
and these are the happy plants, im glad to see a happy tent for once in weeks.
