So Medicated I can barely hold my eyes open And I'm still going to the moon!!!

I love sour hogs breath , I love soud diesel awesome strains for personal heady stash, I also did some Larry og , this time all OG , I m going to try and get some tahoe going but but havent seen any cuts lately, oh well, I sure would like to have some blue Thai OG cuts or seeds dont care kinda actually prefure a seed for making mothers , doesnt matter really, I have 360 watts of cfl's in 3 ft wide x 2ft deep and 5.5 tall all sealed and ventilated with my humidity/propabation covers and trays and I do them in rock wool just too k 135 cuts, off my Platinum OG, and so far lets say like 120 of them are still alive 9 days later I have them on 24 hours light, works great, I use clonex&sprayngrow as a foliar spray I ph my foliar spray to 7.0 cause I was told leaves absorb stuff better at a ph of 7.0, it works great for me, I just condition my rockwool in clonex at 5.9 ph , take my cutting put them directly into the rockwool, I have an 85% success rate and I dont even use any cloning gel, just Liquid clonex works great , I swear bye for all of my cuttings wether cubes or aero, all clonex all the way!!!!

For those looking for a more long term solution there is a pesticide called imidacloprid which is systemic so any insect that feeds on the plant gets poisoned, it targets receptors specific to insects so it is far less toxic to other animals supposedly but as with any pesticide use with caution.

Not true. The same receptors are found in your body also. It just happens that insects have a higher concentration of them.

wikipedia said:
Because the neonicotinoids block a specific neural pathway that is more abundant in insects than warm-blooded animals, these insecticides are selectively more toxic to insects than mammals.

The reason it works is the reason many similar compunds work, it's the DOSE.

If you weigh 160 pounds then a neo-nicotinyl compound like imidicloprid in a specified dose will affect your body but the effect will be so negligable becuase of the dose compared to your body weight compared to your concentration of receptors that you won't even feel it.

If on the other hand you weigh less than a postage stamp (an insect) and have a high concentration of these receptors then that same dose is going to have a dramatic efect on your body and possibly even kill you.

MANY insecticides have the same neuro chemical actions in your body as they do in pests it's just the DOSE that separates whether you live or die.

So I was wondering what is the best inesct killer , one that does everything !!! Caterpillar and flys, and roaches everything that will try to eat my plant or nest in it , please let me know cause it getting that time of year !!! Thanks for the help ICmag.com community , never any where else have I recieved such voluntary friendly help , quite anazing we are all trying to do the same thing , grow a F#*&@%G Plant Man. Is there website like this devoted to grwoing the best corn or watermelon you can grow , cause if there wause that would be cool to check out !!!

Celaflor is ok. It killed all of the bugs I had including mites. Some of them survived being in egg form. You can apply it foliary or water the plants with solution. I'm about to water them to kill the rest of the mites. Will report. Mites are proving to be one though mofos.

Celaflor . It's a german based product freely avaiable in every garden shop. No need for license.
 
Spinosad is a little more expensive and orderless

Paddi lucky? yes, but very skilled in the garden and with a camera too. :joint:

My first grow got clobbered by caterpillars. Since then I've been using BT and neem with great results. However this year I am using Spinosad instead of the BT. Spinosad is a little more expensive but is orderless, and BT definitely is NOT. No worries with any of these products. While inconclusive I have seen more bees this year then in the recent past.



Ok bros
You´ve convinced me. I´m a lucky guy :woohoo:

Talstar P (also known as Talstar, Talstar One or Talstar Professional) Multi-Insecticide with bifenthrin is one of the most trusted and widely-used insecticides by pest control professionals today, and now available to you for DIY pest control.

The name Talstar P/Talstar One means one professional solution for everything: Talstar insecticide kills over 75 insect pests and can be used for indoor pest control, outdoor pest control, food handling areas, turf and ornamental treatments, in the yard as a yard spray to treat fleas or other yard pests, and even for termite control!

Talstar has a long residual, so it keeps on killing pests for over three months after you've sprayed it. Plus, Talstar One is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and won't break down easily with rainfall. For termites, ants, mosquitoes, roaches, beetles, spiders, and everything in-between, Talstar insecticide is simply fantastic. 1 Qt. concentrate yields 32-96 finished gallons. Application of Talstar P requires a sprayer.

So I'm guessing, from reading these posts, that you cant use insecticide after 2 weeks into flowering. Neem oil seems to be insecticide of choice up until then. If there is a problem with spider mites, wont you see webbing? Also if you use a grow box do you still have bug issues? Any suggestions appreciated. :thank you:
