Smelly Joe Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hey guys Just a quick question regarding flowering and pests.... Seeing that we are in flower I was wondering what can be done to prevent pests from attacking the plants. I have removed 5 mealy bugs from my plants without them having caused any problems. I am scanning my ladies on a daily basis now. 1 plant is being harvested this weekend but 3 still has to to stay a bit longer. I am currently using Ludwig's pest control but what else can be done to keep nature from naturally taking my meds....

jabulanithehutt Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Neem (Azadirachta indica), can get at a spice shop, mix with some weak organic soap and spray. There's some recipes out there. Can also use chopped garlic in water. Edited March 28, 2019 by jabulanithehutt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoukie Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hey man. I have used the below organic pesticide when my one auto had some red spider mites and worked wonders. Not so sure about when in flowering as I see it contains canola oil, also I presume it's much the same as the Ludwig's pesticide you mentioned, but worth a try maybe... https://hydroponic.co.za/hydroponics/margaret-roberts-organic-insecticide/?attribute_pa_size=500ml&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4fHkBRDcARIsACV58_GF_OL149SezUe595LgZ3Ch4u2USozFuN4OGZjTCn0bfsGaTNMcX2MaAmL2EALw_wcB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it before and it works good.I'll get some neem this weekend to spray for prevention as well. Will be harvesting one lady partially over the weekend but the other ones is still open for attacks Not from here or thereNot from now or then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoukie Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Joe, I'm no expert (far from it) but just do your research before spraying neem oil on your flowering plant as I have read there can be 'side effects'... but yeah, no way of knowing until you try it yourself I suppose 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically puffed clean weed. That's when I knew I should not fuck around during flowering to much.Thanx for the advice man.
