SkunkPharm Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hi Guys Please see link if you are looking for insects. This is a good site to start. Stop spraying you plants woth chemicals. You will smoke it one day and you need it to be clean. Also remember if you extract your plants you concentrate those chemicals and they are not good for you. I am only posting this here cause sometimes you feel its to expensive to buy them. Please buy together and share delivery costs. https://livingseeds.co.za/garden-supplies/ipm-intergrated-pest-managment 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG420za Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 They're pricey. I'm picking up some predatory mites later at the hydro shop for R350, but I was told that will not be the price when they officially sell them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORGANinc. Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I'm abit hesitant to use that stuff. Not sure if it will wipe out a big majority of the insects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whose to know, I always wonder... if there are springtales in my system and its a sign of a healthy system, where did they come from? the diversity can explode just by adding EM throughout the soil food web. Maybe its time to get a scope 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its time to get a scope Exactly the same one, they do a great job of dealing with larva from fungus gnats & nutrient cycling as you mentioned. My indoor plants are healthy but last season outdoor was a nightmare with pests and the nematodes would of helped greatly. Let me know if you come across anyone selling it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say use in soil and foliar to control any aphids, thrips and I’m sure a lot of other insects also linked to a few cases of human interaction and bad stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolJ Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 A few stores in the Cape Region got some preditor mites in this week. I picked up some today for R30 and R20 a pack I noticed some Thrips 2 days ago. So will see how they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 @CoolJ, awesome I always wanted to get these and I have a bit of a thrips problem too. You didn't get these somewhere in the Helderberg area, did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Helderberg, was in Northern Suburbs, but I saw a few other stores on Facebook advertising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
