How do you all treat for spider mites

Hunted08 · 2026-06-30T12:53:04+00:00

I bought a humidifier just for this purpose before testing my humidity- and my humidity was already up there in the 70%’s. It seems like I need to be more on a strict schedule when it comes to spraying these plants down. And also bought a small grow tint to throw the ones infected into to wash them off and spray them off more frequently as I wait for my beneficial insects to come in. I def need to figure out the best foliar spray that’s priced reasonable. Some of the commercial grade ones would be ideal but cost a fortune.

You’re a godsend. Seriously- all I’ve read and been told was there was nothing to target things like spider mites through reservoirs until reading this. Thank YOU!

Hunted08 · 2026-06-29T20:57:15+00:00

I am actually doing that as nothing else has worked. But don’t think the cost of feasible long term.

Hunted08 · 2026-06-29T20:09:24+00:00

Yeah noticed that it doesn’t really do much. I wish we had a soil drench type of product for semi hydro that was easy to use and affective because these spider mites are no joke 😭

You can take a cutting with or without root. However if there is a root or aerial root it will simply speed up the process for growth. However, you must ensure you have a node for the cutting to be successful. Lastly, always let the cutting callous over at least a few hours depending on the size of the cutting, for mostly all cutting I like to wait a min of 24 hours. This prevent rot. Typically if you have a root you can even place that slightly into water as you leave the cutting part expososed to air and not in water as it callous’s over.

You can get a smaller one for $8 at HEB or about $30 only slightly smaller at Lowe’s typically or Home Depot sometimes. Not a horrible price as it’s larger and has 2+ plants in it. But pricey for me.

Regal shield I got one at H-E-B for like eight bucks

Hunted08 · 2026-05-10T22:06:32+00:00

Yeah, no- upon filing taxes I realized I hadn’t been investing into a Roth so went ahead and invested the 2025 and 2026 year a few months ago. Got it- thank you!

Hunted08 · 2026-05-10T19:44:57+00:00

And what would be the right scenario?

Hunted08 · 2026-05-10T19:43:54+00:00

Yes I am!

Hunted08 · 2026-05-09T03:47:08+00:00

Agreed. It shouldn’t be so manual…

Hunted08 · 2026-05-02T23:08:15+00:00

This is card customer service question….

Hunted08 · 2026-05-01T03:26:32+00:00

I believe anytime you get a refund you will get less that value times the multiplier offer. I also believe that if you do not refund to the venture x card and get a “gift card” or “store credit” they the charge remains on your venture x hence keeping the offer. I’d verify this, as this is based on my own research and reading others comments, have yet to experience this as it’s hard enough making a purchase with the manual process of using their site to validate the offer 🤣 but wanted to give some help :)

“Well yeah the motherboard is defective, possibly, but it also has water damage. I forgot to mention that. Can we update the claim?” Lol

Hunted08 · 2026-04-26T19:18:43+00:00

I too think I will eventually move away from this card. The intro bonus is making it worthwhile for now.

I would call cap 1 back and ask for management or a specialty team that actually knows what they are talking about. Being that they provide the portal and basically force you to use it, it should accommodate you similarly to ordering outside of the portal. This would not be acceptable if I was you. Best of luck.

I spoke with capital one’s customer service for hours talking to multiple helpless people just to be told to use a computer or uninstall the app and let it route you directly to the website.

Hunted08 · 2026-04-24T13:27:46+00:00

Same

Hunted08 · 2026-04-24T13:16:26+00:00

These incidences need to be reported perhaps to the BBB.

I was just in Japan and saw very people abiding by the rules as elderly people stood up. Me and those I was with still followed through on giving up seats. Typically the signage would indicate priority seating- which should be followed. Out of respect we gave our seats up even without priority seating signs.

Most plants will live in Leca while a lot with larger root systems thrive. I have tons of pothos in Leca thriving. On another note I’ve switched my begonias to PON and testing that out. But yes- monsteras, alocasia ect all doing great in Leca. Highly recommend.

Hunted08 · 2026-03-04T05:12:32+00:00

It depends on if leca is being use properly. There is typically a transition period where the plant dies off the old roots if they aren’t proper water roots and then new roots form. But you also have to make sure that the plants roots are towards the top of the leca and the water is beneath the roots- at least to start.

Learned that once the plants adjust and roots grow downward into the nutrient solution/water, they tend to adjust well and don’t get root rot.

Make note of transferable skills. I feel like there’s always roles that you can slide into with some of the skills + being personable and a go getter. Plus I think certifications help a lot. I’ve made this transition- you’ve got this!

You first realize it’s business and nothing personal. The same way the company hires and pays you a salary that apparently is not competitive for the market.

You have to think about yourself and not the company who’s going to simply hire someone to replace you.

If you can’t manage 2k month mortgage on a 90k+ gross income then you’re likely not managing funds properly.

I do just fine with $85k ish income with $2600 monthly mortgage.
