Trouble in paradise. Issues with new growth on a few plants in my 2nd tent. Rather suddenly. Past experience lead me to suspect a pest eating my roots (no, not a deficiency). Checked soil. Bingo. Bulb mite? Best way to attack issue? I have 3 weeks before these go outdoors. Neem?

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Ive read that Hypoaspis mites Are a natural wat to get them little critters.. Just also read that Cosmolaelaps claviger, a beneficial mite that is a natural predator of bulb mites.. Contact ur local gardening centres or hyd3shops and ask if they stock these natural predators.. Stay safe n gud luck.. Please let me know if u are successful as i haven't tryed this myself yet luckily but never know for future reference.. 👍🍀

Hey gardener! Soap and water kill the little bugs because when they try to breathe, it creates bubbles and reduces their grip on the leaves. I'm repeating an old piece of advice that was given to me a long time ago. Good luck, bella ciao!

Hi I used to have a good experience with organic neem oil, of course no longer give in bloom :-) today I see that I don't have to resort to such means by everything having optimal conditions :-)
