Is this ok for scarid fly treatment at the root zone

[aussie1]

Hi everyone,

trying to get rid of scarid fly, fly spray works fine for the ones

flying in the room, but I need to get to the undeveloped ones in my root

zone as this is third crop that has them.

Hydroshop gave me Scarid 10 which is a Group 3 Insecticide

it has 10g/L Deltamethrin.

The hydro guy is not good with advice etc, I only go there when I

am desperate, so I don't trust his advice that it can be added to the tank

unless someone else can back it up.

Does anyone know if it is ok to add to tank and at what rate per litre?

The directions on the bottle are all for spraying, not adding to the tank.

Thanks

Heya aussie , mate i dunno this stuff you speak of but on a google search " scarid 10 " i see 2 listed hydro shops reccomend it only be sprayed on the surface of the medium that the plants are growing in and to avoid it coming into contact with plant ?

 

if you do try on the the root zone it is prolly worth doing only one plant by hand with a watering can .. just to see what reaction you get before mixing it in for the whole lot

 

either way let us know how you get on

and try to block the entry point where these little f*%#kers get in the room

there is a fungi that attacks the larvi

i canna recall the name

if you do a search for --> Bio logical pest controle

there is a lot of companies that sell and surpport this practice

 

the best methord for pest control is the bio dynamic way

strictly organic

tried and proven

never fails

 

collect at least 20 scarid fly and larvi

mash dem into a past

add to 100ml room temp water

put the lid on shake it up

leve it stand over night at room temp

nex day strain

spray at 100 pt water to 1 pt scarid fly solution

too easy eh

warning

never spray under hot lights

never

ok

That's funny as all hell putting their heads on a stick to scare the others off won't work.

Sciarid fly aren't attracted to anything on the plant

They can detect decomposing organic matter, which they love to lay their eggs in, because in that decomposing organic matter is all the food their babies(fungus gnats) need to kick off a healthy life cycle.

3 times in a row? your either using coco or reusing old grow medium or have damaged the roots and attracted them, they love rotting roots, more specifically the Pythium and a couple of other fungal spores that come in with that.

The only way to beat these things is with a pesticide drench once they are in your pots.

One other success I have found is to take clones and clean out the entire grow room and throw all medium in the bin.

Using coco long term indoors is bound to attract these.

Beneficial bacteria are available(Nu-Life) but these aim at knocking out the fungal food source BEFORE these things can establish.

Once again, drenching with a pesticide BEFORE the plants are planted is another way to keep em at bay.

Google sciarid fly, Pythium and beneficial bacteria and see how you go.

Personally I'd chop them and chuck everything depending on how far into the grow you are, probably hash the plants

Good luck

[loylty gets u nothing]

hehehehhe

love ya work bufo

no flys on u ...

im much the same

kill the fuckers,and kill em good

asking em to leave hasnt proven any fruits for me...hehehe]

i have had em 1 time

i applied a product from xtreme,called SCARID FLY DRENCH

contains950g/l emulsifiable botanical oil & 800g/l diazinon

 

i used it for 1 day,the scaris fly/fungus gnats where goneske

at rate of 2ml per 10 ltr

and itrs recomonded not to use within 14 days of harvests

i recon this shit will work better than heads on sticks...hahahahha

all the best

oh

well

when you put the mashed insect past into room temp water for 12hrs or so

what happens is bacteria start to breakdown the mash and build up in numbers rappidly

so when you spray dat pon the insects is starts to eat dem alive

they get away as fast as dey can

this is extreemly infectious for insects

it works

and dey wont come back

[Frazz]

yea im familiar with this method though i understood that one really was better making the mash out of sick insects and mashing them up to spray but no doubt Radic is onto something here and this may also be worth a try IMO

Yeah it's an old organic farming trick...but how do you know which bugs are sick?

I have used the method but wasn't impressed with the results. Seems to work better on some than others.

 

When a plant as valuable as these are in danger, I use the most effective thing I can.

[Radic]

if you overstand the the princibals

it is fool proof

 

you need to catch at least 20 scarid adult flys

they do not have to be sick

any adult scarids will do

seen

what you must do is incubate all the little nasties that are spercific to break down and attack the scarids health

seen

 

now you must do it all at grow room temp

that is crucial

 

cause you want it to work and build up a healthy population of nasties at grow room temp

in ya grow room

seen

it onlt takes bout 10 to 12 hrs of incubation at grow room temp to achieve dis

ok

these are realy only starter nasties

that kick start the increase in population

but that is exactly what we want

if we spray this solution round effected areas of the grow room now

that that will kickstart an increase in all the nasties to attack scarids

when you do it right

it works everytime

fe real

lets face it

you are going to smoke this herb

chemicals sux

do not use any chemicals in the grow room that are not recomened for veges

eg recomended for ornamentals

cheme kills

seen

kills

dead

please tell ya shop keeper u want it for your Vege garden

 

dat is crucial

 

yo pam

i totaly agree

herb is invaluable

you wanna grow the best????

dont you???????

well

forget chemicals

Organic Rulez

seen

it is not that hard to get a handle on

it is cheeper and safer than chemicals

besides its is the petro chemical mother earth rappers you are giving ya hard earnd $$$$$ to

who loby to keep cannabis increase laws

boycote Chemicals pon princibals alone

i man canna support dat

 

free cannabis

strictly organic
