nasties on leaves

[mrsmokey1]

i just cut couple leaves off plant and put under 150x scope..........I SEE like spider type things underside having a good feed and eating the fuking plants......whats a good insect killer im in veg shud i use mortein or special for plants?

sounds like spidermites...

 

have you got little brown spots on the leaves?.. this is where theyve been eaten.. they burrow into the veins of the leaves.. not real good.. are they flowering or in veg?

 

hit the hardware store.. there will be something there that will deal with them.. if in doubt tell the garden guy/gurl.. that you got what look like little orange spiders on ya roses.. he/she will know what to do... i found the Yates BugGun works a treat... does a whole range of little critters...

 

to treat.. gather the base of every branch in the palm of your hand.. moving slowly upwards with your hand youll expose the under side of the leaves.. this is where you need to spray... i just spray into my hand as im moving up the branch.. youll probably have to repeat this in 3 days to get any eggs that may have hatched... then again 3 days later to be sure... there are some bug killers that will do the eggs too.. you might have to ask... but i found the bug gun worked excellently.. and it does a range of insects.. one that kills eggs will only usually be for spidermites..

 

spidermite have a 3 day turn around.. they hatch.. i think after 3.. or 6 days they will lay eggs.. in 3 days those eggs will hatch and in 3 or 6 days those mites will lay eggs... like a normal spider.. one mite will lay around 4-500 eggs... so it need to be kept under control.. it doesnt take long for one spidermite to infest a whole room..

bunnings has a great product

called ecooil

i use it every flower prior to 12/12

to be sure theres no nastys going into flower room

i like to go for about 12ml per litre

it says 10ml but have found 12 dont do any damage either

all the best

mortein is good ...NOT!!

 

best cure is prevention..however use White oil twice a week for insects...

eco oil waited week sprayed again, and they came back so i sprayed again....i think its scale.
