Found my leaves getting tracked and spots all of a sudden on every plant have 7 plants white widow autos outside in hot house and I can see these little f@*+#rs everywhere
Looks like maybe thrips or whiteflies. I have zero experience with bugs, thankfully, knock on wood. But I’m sure others with more experience will help out. They’re early enough in flower that you should have some options.
Also, they are little fkers, but they frown on cussing here. Silly, we’re all adults, I know. Just letting you know it might get edited and your hand slapped.
And I’m really leaning towards thrips. You’ll want to get some spinosad or similar.
Yea upon googling thrips it sure does look like them there eating everything
Thanks for the reply mate @elheffe702
Just need a cure ASAP don’t trust google with my plants
Not sure if this is available where you’re at, but the same ingredients should be available in a similar product that IS available if that isn’t.
And once again, I’m no entomologist, I just play one on the internet.
Really appreciate the help aye
But those products are u.s based in on Australia maybe I should of said that in the first place ha
Might just hafe to shoot down to my local hydro shop and see what there packing
I’m in *
Try Bunnings … spray it a few times, if it dont work, return it! Go through the products until you find one that is true to their word.
If they want to BS me ill use them by trying each product and return if its crap… its your right!
Well, it is an island. Technically you’re both in and on Australia. See what Amazon has that ships to Oz.
Can’t wait for shipment I need to remove these now there getting high and I’m not gunna be
Wet Method of Diatomaceous Earth Application
- Add 4 tablespoons of diatomaceous earth into a one-gallon container of water with a lid the seals tightly. Screw the lid on and shake vigorously until the DE dissolves into the water.
- Fill a spray bottle or garden pump sprayer with the mixture.
- Spray the plants with a fine mist until they are wet but not dripping. Spray the undersides of leaves too.
- Allow the plants to dry. As the water evaporates the DE is left behind as a protective barrier which adheres to the plant’s leaves and stems.
It’s like a layer of glass shards which pierces the pests bodies and make them dry out and die. Use food grade if you can find it.
Do I spray the flower to or avoid that area @AAA
In my opinion based on your early flowering you could get some on the flowers. But I’m going to rinse my buds with hydrogen peroxide after I chop.
I have been spraying these weekly with the DE water solution and Monterey BT. They have been outside for 4 weeks, full blown flower for 2 weeks. Make sure to get the undersides as bugs live to chill there. Also get a magnifying glass or similar and start manually removing/killing them.
@AAA cheers mate first thing tomorrow as it’s almost 1am here in Aus il get on to it hopefully I can get ahead and not lose my crop
Good luck!
I just had a war with Thrips on my plants and I think I’m winning . I got some Azamax that worked well . The eggs hatch on the plant then drop to the soil and to start the cycle all over again . I sprayed the plant , then drench the soil , seems to be working . Washing plants after harvest . . Good luck
