does anyone know of a source that lists plants that can be affected by broad mites? i live in the desert and the only plant in my yard is a young cottonwood tree. if it can be infected i will cut it down and replant some new ones next year. it is too fuzy to scope out though so i dont know if it has them...

I read an agri report that stated where I live is not considered a problem for the citrus crop with broad mites. I live in the inland area of southern calif. The report stated that the coastal range was a problem area for the Mites as the weather there is more conducive for the survival. It gets really hot here in the late summer usually. I have scoped plants in my yard and no conclusive results where noted of broad mite problem. Although I have battled them for many years with the indoor plants. Until this last year when it appears I have won.You could google or better yet just call the US agri dept and ask about the possibility for your area. GL.

Heat treatments & OGBiowar will kill/prevent them. Start with heat treatment if you don't like chems. Insecticidal soap will not stop them. Might help, but they will keep coming back, as the eggs will survive, and the mites are all over your room/house by now. Aspirin in your rez at all times. Ignore the neg reppers. The chemical guys who don't mind poisoning their peeps will neg rep you if you express concern for other people's health.

1 oz for 52 bucks is a complete rip off. The product I bought, Ultor (same ingredient), for 280 was 48 oz. That's like just over 5 bucks an oz. I guess if you can't get any smaller batches than the 700, than 52 is the way to go, but 1 oz isn't going to last too long.

Now I feel like selling the stuff on ebay by the oz.

You gotta chill on those shots man, it's toxic (like our chems). I've followed your posts about heat treatments and alternatives in this thread, and remember you from others. You are genuinely helpful to those who want to try biological and environmental routes, I really respect that. You never just posted what you did without answering individual questions.
However, some of us just don't want to get into an battle about how bad chems are or not. This is a thread about solutions. So far, all of us chem guys have explicitly said veg only, although maybe a few haven't, in order to give a long enough period of time so exposure to these chemicals is minimal to consumers, if not at all. Personally, I tell my patients that I used chemicals early on, and that I believe they are okay and that I am standing here saying I had no reaction, or some minor burning sensation, etc. and that I would personally smoke anything I gave them. If they feel anything different, please let me know. It's a really subjective issue.
This thread is really helpful in solving issues, but at the same time can be so frustrating. So overall, I just want to say thank you to people contributing positively to this thread, even if your method is not for everyone. Please don't critique others too harshly for trying methods that you disagree with, or for having an experience that you believe to be just plain incorrect. Everyone has a different situation, some people are growing for personal needs, some are growing for a few other persons needs, some are growing as their livelihood and only support, or a combo of all of those. Lets just put the options we have out there that got rid of these fucking things.

I am soil but I have aspirin and have been adding that to my teas. The reason I went the soap route is that I keep reading that no matter which route you go you will probably never completely rid yourself of these pests. I know, some are saying they have but the consensus seems to be the eggs are everywhere and impossible to completely get rid of them. If I find that the soap isn't working well enough I will probably buck up and buy OG but I am pretty sure I won't go the miticide route.

And I don't worry about the negative reppers, someone gave me a neg for my post. Who cares, it's about the help that you guys are providing and clearly your message is getting out.

Forgot to ask this question, I soaked everything that was not a plant in my entire basement with a 50/50 mix of bleach/water. Will this kill them in all stages including eggs?

I agree with you 100% we need to respect the cash croppers even though we may not agree it's just a matter of choice. The people I know prefer clean meds. I mean no disrespect for people who can't or don't want to put in the effort needed to produce medical grade meds. All the very best.

BTW... Ultor is half the strength of Kontos/Movento

This link is most up to date information on the web .... it says Kontos isn't very efficient...

That's why I always say use anything to kill of the initial population (Pylon/Avid) are the best contact sprays.. give the Kontos 2 weeks after you've used the contact killers and you'll be good to go..

Using Kontos to reduce a huge population will be a let down if you don't use something else first

Or you could just heat the room and spray ogbiowar, opposed to poisoning yourself and everyone. Not to mention the waste of money. My plant flourishing with ogbiowar.

If u had to choose $500 miticides and poisoning everything around VS. 120degree's for 1 hour and ogbiowar spray not quiet sure what's so hard about the decision.

I have yet to read bad results from heat treatment or ogbiowar.. I mean it's common sense for even the stupidest person on this forum, me (according to RetroGrow)

Anyone here used Pylon aerosol bombs? Do you spray them or set them off in the room and dip? Thinking about grabbing a pack.

Why small-scale cannabis growers stay small: five mechanisms that prevent small-scale growers from going large scale.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Over the past 15-20 years, domestic cultivation of cannabis has been established in a number of European countries. New techniques have made such cultivation easier; however, the bulk of growers remain small-scale. In this study, we explore the factors that prevent small-scale growers from increasing their production.
METHODS:

The study is based on 1 year of ethnographic fieldwork and qualitative interviews conducted with 45 Norwegian cannabis growers, 10 of whom were growing on a large-scale and 35 on a small-scale.
RESULTS:

The study identifies five mechanisms that prevent small-scale indoor growers from going large-scale. First, large-scale operations involve a number of people, large sums of money, a high work-load and a high risk of detection, and thus demand a higher level of organizational skills than for small growing operations. Second, financial assets are needed to start a large 'grow-site'. Housing rent, electricity, equipment and nutrients are expensive. Third, to be able to sell large quantities of cannabis, growers need access to an illegal distribution network and knowledge of how to act according to black market norms and structures. Fourth, large-scale operations require advanced horticultural skills to maximize yield and quality, which demands greater skills and knowledge than does small-scale cultivation. Fifth, small-scale growers are often embedded in the 'cannabis culture', which emphasizes anti-commercialism, anti-violence and ecological and community values. Hence, starting up large-scale production will imply having to renegotiate or abandon these values.
CONCLUSION:

Going from small- to large-scale cannabis production is a demanding task-ideologically, technically, economically and personally. The many obstacles that small-scale growers face and the lack of interest and motivation for going large-scale suggest that the risk of a 'slippery slope' from small-scale to large-scale growing is limited. Possible political implications of the findings are discussed.

Get Phantom ..its cheaper than the bombs... and the exact same shit as Pylon.. its .5-1ml a gallon... it will last forever

It wasn't a "shot". Just stating plain facts. Not talking about you personally. You sound reasonable. However, there are plenty of peeps on here who only use chems, and some of them use chems in flower. I've read every post and have seen it. Also, the "chem" people are constantly neg repping the people who prefer to use more ecologically friendly techniques. That is quite apparent. Not saying it's you, but they know who they are.
