That's why I'm saying it's hard to believe he has mights cause his grow room is filled with lady bugs
N.E.wguy
Product of my environment
well they will obv go to the food imo. that being mites if they are concentrated there at the grow leave them imo maybe someone else will chime in but if it was me i'd leave em let the exhaust fan eat em. If i had a controlled grow room and mites i'd buy lady bugs

16 days since flip .Firestax says they will hook me up after I ordered 2 packs of purple buckeye last drop and no comey. Still slight signs of mites even tho i have about 100 lady bugs in the tent . Otherwise looking good . Prob will be adding another layer of trellis for support. not sure if they will stretch that much .
Also planted some beans today a friend gave me .

Looks like a party to me bro....... You start your lady bug farm yet?
Hi Tangie,
Just stoppin in to say hello :bong1:
Last few pics look awesome, this is the second time this week I seen a bunch of lady bugs on pot plants.. It kinda gives me the willies, just cause I know they have to eat, and they have to poop.
For what my 2cents are worth, I would use the lady bugs if I had a problem and wanted to deal with it naturally. Otherwise, I would boot them outta the tent, "if" they came there by themselves I would be worried because they came for food.
Goodluck, things look great. I may get a 4x4 tent and do the same as you so I will be keeping an eye on you. Thanks for sharin with MP.

Mites are not the preferred food of lady bugs and they do a very very poor job of treating mites. I tried them several times many years ago before I gave up on trying to use ladybugs to control mites. Unfortunately, it does not work. And we found dead ladybugs deep inside some of the buds--it was really gross. I would love it if something like putting live lady bugs in your flowering space worked....but it doesn't. You are better off saving your money and actually treating with something. SNS 217 is an organic product to treat mites and is usually effective.
Aww, come on guys play nice
Stank, I kinda like what THG had to say.. You wouldn't catch me with a tent full of lady bugs when the plants were in flower, thats for sure. No bug buds for me!
"I" appreciate the honest, humble opinion of THG.
More bud porn plz :bolt:

"Ladybugs will eat spider mites if there are no other insect treats around (such as aphids); if you drop several thousand ladybugs in your garden they will eat everything, including each other. I have seen desperate growers that have gone this route. The aftermath of this is dead ladybugs everywhere."

IMO, just that fact that you have to continually clean dead lady bugs from the light and find them dead in your buds is enough to keep me from using them. But, and this is not opinion, ladybugs are a poor spider mite treatment. Trying to treat spider mites with ineffective treatments usually either results in stronger more pest resistant insects or they get totally out of control--beyond the point of being able to eradicate them.

Ladybug larvae are the real munchers.
I tried ladybugs 3 times. They did not work. I even bought some that were ready to lay eggs to get to the larvae. Didnot work. Now a prey mantis hatch, they are some hungry little ones.

Good luck finding it local bro I looked every where. You are gonna have to buy it online or go see Stoney and get some Real bug killer stuff.

I like this stuff. It works, and is all organic. Only drawback is it's expensive.

I think that all effective spider mite treatment is expensive. Keep in mind though that it is never as expensive as have to go out and buy bud if your crop gets destroyed. I like using organic stuff, too, but sometimes it just doesn't work. The spider mites in the mountains seem to be especially strong. They have unlimited foliage with no one up here spraying pesticides on anything.
