How can I make up a Nicotine pesticide?
How can I make up a Nicotine pesticide? Contributed by: Funky Smile Submitted: February 8th, 2005 Get 2-3 Marlboro red ciggies, empty them out in 200ml of water and leave to stand overnight (or 24hrs). After that the liquid will be brown/black, *boil it for two or three minutes (no more) to kill any possible pathogens and cool it down, even better would be to leave it in the fridge to get really cold (but don’t freeze it). Once that’s done spray 2-3 times a week. A few drops of liquid detergent or insecticidal soap help to lower the surface tension of the water, making spraying more effective, as instead of droplets, the water forms a film over the plants and bugs. Wear gloves whenever handling the solution, and a mask whenever spraying it. A Nicotine solution can poison the grower too! Vegging plants can be dipped in the stuff, BUT DO NOT EVER dip flowering plants into anything! After all the above .... remove the top layer of soil (till the roots) and check that there are no bugs/eggs under and replace with new soil. Note: Nicotine is a poison that disables the nervous system of bugs. Boiling is a must, as it kills the "nicotine virus" – (TMV - Tobacco Mosaic Virus) and cooling will further irritate bugs as they like nice warm conditions. Added on: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 Viewed: 1128 times were the directions you used have any different or missing steps in it? im betting thats why you had the problem if it really is from the nicotine spray. |

really? 2 weeks and 5 days is how long it takes for your soil to get dry enough to need watering? i water when the top 2 or 3 inches feel dry when i stick my finger in the soil. are you sure the drainage is good? i dont see any problem with them being in the cut in half milk jug containers really. i use the plastic 44 oz cups you get from fast food resturants to do sog cfl grows, works fine. i cut small drainage hole in and use em w/no problems.

I dont know about the nicotene added to the water when you spray it but reading the mix directions is states to add some detergent. This is what I have always read on how to get rid of the white flies during veg, try leaving out the nicotene and just spray with the mild soap mix with the water. The gnats or flies also probably came out of the MG you have. Spots probably coming from spray with lights on.Good luck with the grow

thats a pretty good idea...
yea 2 weeks so far...i think its just because they were 4 inches..and with that much water in such a huge jug and such small plants, they are slowly chipping away at the wet soil..the top of the soil is STILL wet..hard to believe i know..but, it seems to finally be drying out..i guarantee the drainage is fine..water came pouring out of it when i watered it last time..well, not pouring out..but water came out of the bottom..i did have an overwatering problem earlier..one of my plants keeled over :/ ill put a pic up..hes special to me too..so, im trying my hardest to heal him back up to health..i've learned my lesson with watering..i did so much research after i saw him nearly die..it's all good now |
