Best IPM is prevention indoors. Outdoors is a different game. Don’t bring pests in your grow and you’ll never see them. Every indoor garden with pests is the result of the grower bringing them in. If you do bring them in. Accept the responsibility and take the loss. Clean up and start over.

Right on 🤘

My garden is a 2 tent setup indoors (basement) and every time I go near the tents I do my due diligence i.e. clean clothes, clean hands and no dogs near me or basement at all! 🤣

I completely disagree with all of that. Mold can come in with a gust of wind. Pests can track on your shoes. We’re not apes we have science and tools. A light IPM routine can save you allot of wasted time and money in the long run also not everyone has the most ideal environment in fact I would say more common than not people use what space they have available.

Whg so negative? You sound like a defeated man. Sorry about that. Everything is preventsble my man. Those who can keep a clean garden know this. Fungus is controlled by RH and pests are controlled by the grower’s attention to detail. Being careless and allowing pets near your grow is on you.

Wait, are you telling me that I actually am in control of everything? Thank God everybody because this is something we can fix ourselves! That’s good news people. A real problem is one that we have no control over. And I can’t think of a more controlled world than a tent of plants.

Currently using a modified home made lost coast plant therapy recipe. But instead of citric acid I use sulfuric. Once a week. Try not to do anything after week 3-4 flower.

Prevention is nice if you can. But my tent is in my living room with three dogs running in and out all day and living in the country I’m not gonna rely on just keeping things clean.

everyone’s situation is different though.

Also @bloomerfarms some BTI or mosquito bits either topped dressed or with a tea and even sprayed directly on the leaves can suppress pressure from most types of flies and offers a safe and organic way of doing it.

I completely disagree with everything too. 🤭

I’m with @jmystro on this subject! Don’t bring them into your indoor garden and you won’t have any issues with them I haven’t had a pest problem in over 10 years and the time I did have spider mites I brung them in on some Banana OG clones I bought from a dispensary in Colorado Springs in November of 2013!

I use 1tbs soap, 2oz of alcohol sometimes a few drops of peppermint oil in 1 gallon of water for most pests. Spinosad for mites. H2O2 for root aphids. Heat treat the grow room occasionally.

If I get bugs in flower it’s either a run to the finish or reset. Usually if I treat the room after the outside temp stays below freezing at night I’m clear all winter.

Hope that helps

Thanks! 🤘

I’m currently using BioSafe

Oxiphos and ZeroTol HC. Holy shizzz – this stuff is awesome! I was on the Lost Coast program for a long time but if used correctly the ^above combo virtually eliminates PM, bud rot, etc. .
