Hot shot no pest strip warning!!!

I found some mites last week in my tent so i stuck my strip in as usual.After a few days i noticed some rot on the bud closest to the strip. Dont put the strip to close to your bud!! the rest of the plant is completely fine so it must be the chemicals in the strip.Id say when in flowering tie it to the side and youl be fine!!
Just a heads up for anyone using strips!!

Good to know. Thanks.

I think you need better circulation, i have used them for years and never had a bud rot problem.

man get some mighty wash(99.8335 percent water, the rest inert ingredients)and use it this shit works especially delivered with an atomist. no pest strips really shouldn't be used in flower.

EXACTLY.. Mighty Wash is the best shyt out their... Better than all others..

you only have to use them for a few days and then put them back into a ziplock bag. if used properly they arent a bad thing.

not needed if you use mighty wash but to each his own.

i need to do my homework. never heard of this product....brb

I don't like the price difference and I really can't have an opinion on it cuz I haven't tried it. I did my reading and may consider it in the future.

40 bucks for a big bottle of Mighty Wash.. Well worth it.. Kills mites and eggs, no worries about the residue on plants since its 99.9% water basically. I sprayed 2 weeks ago, 0 mites today..

how long will that $40 bottle last? that's 5 no pest strips and they last 4 about 4 months if used all time. If you bag them when the mites are gone 5 would last a really long time.

But with pest strips you gotta hope it gets them all, mighty wash.. you Spray the Shyt outta your plant and know their all gone.. Depends on how many plants, but 1 40$ bottle will last 2 months if your spraying every 2 weeks heavily on 8-12 plants. im guessing here... Cause my bottled lasted a month.. But then again I spray a TON and had MANY plants.

If you had a smaller grow.. like 6 plants.. it would last a long time.

I like the non toxic part of it. I also know that mites become immune to shit. They never beat a no pest strip.

This shit is 99.8335 percent water and the rest inert ingredients, but its special water, "frequency adjusted water", wtfever that means, it means no more spider mites in my house. don't take our word for it get some and if it doesn't work never buy it again. Mites become immune to poisons, theres no way they can become immune to something that doesn't poison them , such as oil based shit, how do you become immune to being suffocated with an oil?

no pest strips are questionable i guess

Warning .. poster blames vapor strip for his own bud rot ..

So I have really really bad mites on one plant and is slowly started moving to an other plant I'm in my 2nd week of flowering and just put a hot shot strip in there...how far should I hang it I'm reading about it being bad because of the chemicals n what not but my other 3 plants are beautiful and wanna get rid of theses mites

hang it by a fan they work great. raw bud water is not going to kill the borg ive tried everything in the book and nothing works as good as a no pest strip. if your worried about poison dont lick the thing. the ppms in the room are not enough to hurt a person. make sure the room is sealed
