If you did, it would harden you to the loss of every other lifetime keeper you have lost or will lose in the future.
the 72 thai was my 1st loss to that 1st mite infestation. my dad accepted someone's plants after the 2009 blackout that they were gonna kill, and brought in the mitiest of mite covered plants, thinking it would be an easy fix. not understanding that this guy was gonna kill some heritage varieties because of how bad it was. it was beyond a learning experience. I now consider myself a potent pest pugilist. a mite mauling marauder. a gnat gnawing guerilla. The nematode's nemesis, the Scale scouring scourge, and soon, I shall be the artful aphid assaulter. yes, I find alliteration funny.
Log entry 12. I have drenched w/ T drops(Xanthan gum, and SNS 209(rosemary extract soap, humic acid) and I saturated and drained the clone cubes w/ clonex clone and seedling fertilizer / T drops and SNS 209 that didn't get potted up.
I should have done this to all of them. as many of the aphids were easily washed away. I am ordering the botanigard when I can, as the local stores don't have it in stock, meaning that everyone has root aphids who shops where I shop!
I bought more t drops and SNS since it wasn't in stock.,
SNS 209 is made w/ food grade rosemary extract, quillaja soap, and humic acid. for those who prefer DIY. this is my 1st war w/ root aphids. I am not starting my assault w/ DIY. I need to know what the bare minimum of commercial effectiveness is so I can replicate and surpass.
could you please tell me your preferred brand of I believe it was black oil or linseed oil. I forget what it was from the last time you mentioned it. I refuse to buy watered down vegetable oil products at inflated hydro store prices.
