In pots. It's a pretty bad infestation though.miguelovic said:I've heard sulphur powder holds them at bay.
Are they in pots or ground?
So everything's safe to eat after seven days? Also, any specific brands you'd recommend?queequeg152 said:abamectin will 100% kill them. 7 days till harvest after last application. .

How'd that end up?Heckle said:I've used elemental powdered sulfur.
miguelovic said:If they're in pots heat treatment is proven effective. 120-130*F for 30 minutes minimum. No wind/air circulation, RH above 50 and plants should be freshly watered. I will mention I've only known this done with cannabis, every plant is different.
Might be a hassle unless you have a good heater. It's more common with indoor growers who have the option to just turn off air conditioning.
queequeg152 said:does heat kill the eggs though? i know its a problem with most of the miticides abamectin included... hence the application instructions.
problem with the heat and soap and sulfur though, is the lack of residual killing value. if you have a constant pest pressure from adjacent areas you will likely reinfect. not an issue indoors obiviously, but outside it can be.
