ive been dealing with bugs but have plenty of non buggy coco Im only in 7 gal so I dunno if no till makes tons of sense/
As long as you donāt have aphids, fungus gnats or any sort of root disease, re-using coco works great!
EDIT: Of course, itās cheap enough to toss and makes great mulch. People ask me why the borders in my house look so nice. (Itās all old root balls!)
im about to get clones for the first time ever. I need to not fuck up. Everyone says my weed is the best but its always been from my own seed and clones

If youāre getting clones, just remember to isolate them to make sure they are healthy. Along with that, I do a dunk of homemade Green Cleaner, a spritz of Captain Jackās and a wood vinegar drench before they are introduced to gen pop.

Im bugged out, so ill start off with alot of work here, then bombs, and then quarantining in one tent with the clones. The company has an ok rep it sems as far as buggy clones. now there is no plants. Do spidermites hide in your walls? I went off topic again. I dont think the pgr effected my garden. Back on topic- what does it do? cause cancer or just some illness in the future? I mentioned chemical exposure to a dr once and they just brushed it off completely?
Spider mites love electronics they can be dormant for months in ballasts and out of nowhere you are infested again.

Will there be tv commercials saying- If you bought underground cannabis sue the govt? I smoke lots of weed that the govt had sprayed toxic chems on and the cartels sold to us kids anyways. I quit growing as a kid when the operation green merchant scared me and then I started when the weed was dried up and I got some horrible weed once from this guy Lollapalooza 2009: The World's Best Dancer! - YouTube and then started growing. I actually owe him one. Thats me dancing in the back.

I wouldnāt worry about spider mites as long as you have a good IPM program. I rotate insecticidal soap, homemade Green Cleaner, wood vinegar and Captain Jacks, always with AGT-50 as a translaminar. I spray once a week and have had zero problems.

i never have issues with bugs - actually frequenty, I may see a thrip every few years, a spidermite every 4. The aphids caught me because I handled it wrong. Simple strong pyrethrin knocks them out early. I was using pyrethrin bombs that probably got my carpets good but not the underside of leaves. Easy to control.but I got reinfested over and over because I have a giant tree hanging over my house where my dog hangs out and it has aphids and spidermites. Like you said IPM I put a systemic on the tree. I think it has to go due to being close to the house but it sux cutting down such a nice tree. Its like a 2.5 foot radius stump.
This is bro science as they live for 4 weeks max under optimal conditions.

but donāt their eggs have a capability to encapsulate in inclement weather or condition and remain viable of 6 months or even more. I have been fortunate over the last 5 years with only one minimal outbreak that was quickly eradicated. Rookie mistakeā¦ didnāt quarantine incoming clones!!
Only broads and cyclamen mites have eggs that can last for crazy amounts of timeā¦ I believe

good to know, I would almost rather have a case of the clap than russet, spider, or broad mites
The battle where I am located is fungus gnats. It is a constant ongoing battle. Everywhere they donāt effect the light cycles I have these going 24/7 to help keep the little bastards at bay

Spider mites are absolutely nothing in comparison to russet or broad mitesā¦
Gives me chills thinking about it
I assume your room is running with air exchange? What kind of media are you growing in?

I am using a 50/50 of coco and Fox Farms with added amendments. Using Micro teas through out flower cycle. Yes I am using air exchanges with hepa filters. The problem is I can beat them into submission but they are so prevalent up here it is almost impossible to not have a new battalion come in as the old ones are annihilated.
They have never really presented anything other than an annoyance but if I donāt stay vigilant I am quite certain they will take over
Have you ever tried a root drench of og biowar?
