If you meant ladybugs, they don't do much. They eat their full, but always leave some behind. Good option considering its late into flowering tho.


ladybirds/ladybugs, there ladybugs hear (just had to look on google lmao there the same thing)

Hey I was wondering if anyone has heard of using "Super Oxy H2O2" by Grotek to fight this problem??? The worker at the local grow shop told me to try this. I have been growing in soil for a while now with a mite problem and have used everything from Neem to Pyrethrum TR (insecticide) and they never really go away for good. Please help....

Hhmmm...........
does not a 12/12 light cycle screw with the ladybugs system, and they all die off soon anyway ?
and they also herd the mites, so as to keep an ample supply of food around ?

just some things i have read and always wondered about, LOL might as well ask them here

i grow in LC's organic soiless mix, and i did not get these from any cuts sent in
i got them round the end of the summer, probably from being outside all day long then coming right in to the cab
i am aslo a bit lazy on the cleaning of the cab

however i believe this has opened my eyes to what i should be doing
i have marked on my calander of growing events, every wed is cleanig day
just sweeping up and cleaning the floor, but once a month i will use bleach or something and do a real good cleaning
and of course i take precautions with incoming cuts as needed
but really dont get them that often anyhow

hope this helps answer questions
i am still open to any different suggestions as to what i could combo together and get these guys right the first time

how do you guys use your NPS ?
when is miticide used ? (before roots form?)

thanks for help given already

That's the problem with NPS's, your exhaust sucks up the vapors.
The only plants I would recommend miticide for are adult plants in veg or well-rooted clones. Seedlings and clones are too delicate and plants in flower carry the residue.

I also wanted to comment on the lady bug suggestion... I have used lady bugs twice before and have had no luck. They are cheap to buy ($7 for 600 or something) but in my experience all you end up with is a bunch of dead lady bugs on your grow room floor. I can't seem to be able to keep them alive for more than a couple of days. They say to mist the ladybugs with water so that they can eat but it never works for me. So I too am hoping for some suggestions that will work, please help.......
