Just googled "sundew spider mite infestation" and found out that sundew will have spider mites for lunch

Thanks a whole lot Cranker. My peat moss came with fungus gnats, all purpuse potting soil with whitefly, and my region is loaded with mosquitos and fruit flies. I'm going to start by ordering a few carniverous sundew plants. I'll have to make sure they don't get too much direct light. Do they...

4 leaves infected with fungus sterilized scissors with lighter and removed leaves a few or more gnats got in the dome soil drenched with insecticidal soap and sprayed neem oil on leaves. No clones completely dead yet.

About water having a frequency when a small amount of a certain chemical is added. Its either like all those hypnosis tapes or like the science of quartz in electronics. So which is it. I want the facts not opinion.

I just want to have a miticide on hand that is likely to work when I need it. I am concerned about getting a Neem oil resistant breed of mite infestation. The only negative feedback about Mighty Wash I have read so far is from a hydroponic store operator who never used it before.

need a 20X magnifier to positively identify pest. Suspect spider mite infestation. Spider mite movement is hard to visualize because they move slow. Black poop or is it a mite. Personally never had mite infestation so I am not 100% sure. Light green speckles on top of leaf, black specks. Is...

look under the leaves with the brown spots is there brownish grey stuff caked on there. Might be a fungus. google search botrytis blight and phoma cannabis. Best to remove damaged leaves and spray entire plant with fungicide. Stop misting leaves, spores are spread from splashed water from...

clones still looking beautiful. Going to try the 1" of white sand on top to block gnat movement read that it is effective elsewhere. Gnats feed on roots which is probably why I lost 5 plants about a month ago. Peat moss probably needed to be airated with 20% perlite too. Switching to all purpose...

For fertilizer burn use water without adding nutrients and for more severe cases flush clean water through pot. For spider mites use insectical soap such as Neem oil, azamax, floramite depending on what your mites are immune to already. Mighty Wash? 91% isopropyl alcohol(very flammable - lights...

On pic 5.jpg and pic 11.jpg I see light green speckles. Is there spider mites underneath those leaves. Also brown leaf tips indicate fertilizer burn might be caused by organic fertilizer reacting to hot weather. Organic fertilizer breaks down faster with heat.

Just read in "Grizzly's Guide to Pulverizing Pests" in "Bugs" forum to use: Neem oil Insecticidal soap(applied as soil drench) every 5-10 days

how can I stop/repell fungus gnats from re-infesting peat moss/potting soil? Any particular type of bleach? Hydrogen Peroxide to water ratio? 91% iso Propyl alcohol in misting bottle? Mighty Wash? Mighty Wash in misting bottle? It's just that the fungus gnats are patrolling my room. But I think...

the plants were looking healthy till I started getting brown spotted leaves(either Botrytis fungus or Phoma Cannabis fungus). Been removing one leaf per day because of reappearing spots Fly paper seemed to work at first, but eventually, in the peat moss, it looked like too many to handle...
