FUCK spider mites...

Well, as far as the ladybugs getting sucked out the exhaust, I prepared my room first. I went and I got this curtain made of really thin, sheer material. I cut out a piece and taped it over the fan, so that the ladybugs can't actually go THROUGH the fan, you know? But it doesn't stop the air movement. I hung the rest of it just inside the door, so that when I open it, any ladybugs will be on the curtain, rather than on the door....

what about when no more food?

lol, you'll have to get someone else to tell you that, since I'm pretty sure there's still plenty of food for MY ladybugs, and I've never done this before. I assume they die, because I've been told they don't eat plants...

I'm actually having fun with the ladybugs. Every so often I have to go in the room and redirect their efforts, you know, give them a new plan of attack. A lot of them die...they're like little kamikazes...

mmmm... ill keep that in mind!!!

my cabs & tents are sealed. hell even the intake has a hepa filter on it....but shit....ill keep that in mind!!

especially since they dont eat plants!!!

they sell those ladybugs at OSH..?? Hmmmm I might have to make a trip there tommorow...I want this war to be over already..

lol dude, it took me a minute to get that...I blame it on the fact that I'm sick.

A good way to prevent ladybugs from flying away or into your HID, is to spray them down with sugar water. This prevents them from flying away.

Let me know if you find anything interesting...

The ladybugs are working. I used to see little webs forming at the top of the main cola, and I haven't seen any in a while. Plus I used to see the little mites on the leaves, and I don't see them as much.

But I DO still see them around some of the smaller leaves that are closer to the stem. I get the feeling the ladybugs don't get on those smaller leaves as often. So I'm thinking I should set off that bomb soon...
