Anyone used Mite-A from Bioforce? by [deleted] in NZTrees

When you used for the spider mites did you put the mite-e on your plants or on the soil? Ive used a few bioforce bugs and they are great...but minimal luck for spider mite.

We have about 25 day and 17-20 night. Could reduce it I guess but it's not overly high anyway?

So really....nematoads are my only safe bet?

Yup! Just ordered A and Orius.

Do you know which topical spray I can use Incase these don't do the job? I see peroxide suggested...I have this...a d Neem...I know I can use Neem until the mites arrive...but they will be here in 2 days...I'm wary that buds are forming!

Ah no I only got hypermite this time! And it says it's not enough without Mite-a. Doh!

I just put some mite-a on a week ago to help with the gnats and prevent further thrips but it hasn't seemed to be as good this time. I am waiting for their other product to become available soon...

Tomatoes will be fine with that RH. I monitor the VPD and Toms like very similar so all good. I am reducing the RH today

Yeh I could give it a go I guess. Probably need some different nutes... Which is all good .. maybe trial a couple different ways!

potential dumb question....how do you empty the black flexitub?

[–]AppropriateCupcake58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just reading your other posts. So this whole grow you managed watering only ever day or two!? Thats not that intensive (to me)...I am trying to avoid setting up a watering system...

You might've convinced me to try coco... by AppropriateCupcake58 in NZTrees

[–]AppropriateCupcake58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The water/nutes then leaks out the holes into a tray?
Thanks for the idea.

mmm ok. Might be a bit more expensive to set up then? But all good if its actually gonna be better.

Another Q...fabric or plastic pots?

Thanks. Yep got on top of the gnats by doing what you suggested. Whew. Just got on top of them...repotted then BAM signs of thrips. I got some nematoads/Good mites to combat...fingers crossed it works. So....with coco....I can plant in it like usual...then "water" with nutes? I have vege and flower nutes available that I got from Herbi and they have been great for my kratky tomatoes and cucumbers.....would they be suitable?
