    Question Three Bugs Walk into a Scrog. Stop Me if You've Heard This One

    Question for the experienced scroggers out there. How do you deal with bugs one plants are firmly entrenched in the net? I did some pruning today and found an aphid crawling on my arm. Not an infestation, and they'd probably be ok if I left it, but I don't wanna take any chances. My homemade bugspray has been keeping them under control, but I was just wondering how other scrog heads deal with bugs when you can't move your plants?

    Go out with a tupaware container and collect ladybugs they will eat most pests .


    Another way would be something like the HOTBOX SULPHUR BURNER

    or


    HOT SHOTS NO PEST STRIPS

    No worries bro.


    My area is a 3.5ftx7ftx8ft closet.

    1x600w lumatek dimmable with super lumens, sun systems blockbuster, wilma 4. Carbon, Fans blah blah blah lol.

    I always have the following things Just Incase
    Yellow sticky traps
    Permethryn bombs
    SPINOSAD spray
    PestOff (starch based killer)
    Neem repel
    Hot shots no pest strips.


    Word of warning about the Hot shots no pest strips THEY ARE CARCENEGENIC i only use these when i REALLY have to. Leave it out for 3days then seal it backup for another time.


    I'm a pretty careful guy these days and thankfully not much can gain entry to my room. Last grow didnt have to use anything and my total grow time was 24weeks lol. I know a long time!!!! thats what happens when you grow a mother for nearly 12weeks before saying what the hell FLOWER YOU BITCH lol.

    Damn man 12 weeks. I vet it wasn't even a sativa huh? lol
    That is a long time. What happened ? Did you grow from clones in the mean time or did you just have one plant that you didn't want to flower or what? That's crazy man.
    I've been looking at my extra shower in a different light lately. I don't know how I missed the first time. Usually I can look at any space and imagine how I'd grow weed there, but I guess idk. It's 3ft x 4 ft x 8, almost twice as much space. I'm so stupid.
    I think next cycle I'll probably convert my extra shower/bathroom into a grow room and use my closet as a veg room and up my game a little, and throw a 600 watt in there.

    you could try a little experiment for me ... the oldster's used to talk about putting a pie-plate or a bowl three quarters full of water on a floor overnight .. they said the fleas and insects could smell the fresh water and then get trapped in it when they tried to drink .... I dunno myself tbh but it might be worth checking to see . Nothing lost leaving a bowl of water under a plant - if it doesn't work , no biggie - but would cool as hell if it did ( pesticide free control ) ... kinda sounds to good to be true tbh ...

    That's perfect too cause I have a big space below the plants. It's worth a try. Thanks dude.

    I've heard a drop of wine is good, but I don't remember which insect this is supposed to work for.

    Let us know if you find something they are attracted to.

    It was a DNA Sharksbreath. Took 12 weeks of flowering to be the way i like them.

    I grew the Sharksbreath and a MAGUS GENETICS EXILE initially for mothers. Took plenty of clones and passed them all out round friends etc. Then one day i thought lets see what happens if i flower these mothers and keep the genetics going as a clone. So i transplanted the 2 of them into 15litre AIRPOTS at week 8 of Veg and then spent around 4 weeks LST'ing the shit out of them lol.

    Let me have a look on here for a pic to show you. lol

    The pics below are from when i was hand watering in COCO. On the left side of the closet is the EXILE and the right hand side is the SHarksbreath.
