1. Only 3 lady beetles... against how many hundreds or thousands of mites??? You can't expect only three to resolve the problem in one day.
2. Do you know what species of lady beetle you have? I think all species eat soft bodied insects like mites but some are better and faster than others.

Lady bugs you need them to have colonized basically, and spider mites are aggressive. I don’t think it’s gonna work. It’s the young larvae of the lady bug that eats the most bad bugs I believe.
And yeah I’ve put about 500 in a tent and they barely held back aphids

Mix a little dawn soap in water in a spray bottle, about 20 drops in a windex size spray bottle and spray under every leaf first then the top sides. Won't hurt your bud but will kill mites on contact. Repeat to kill any hatching eggs. Only thing I ever use for mites.

Neem oil, spinosaf and thrips. Can the spinosad harm my pretty early flowers? Also since I do this during dark cycle, will a head lamp throw confuse them?Okay, so I have some thrips. I have been told to soak those fuckers using Spinosad. I'm sure there are a lot of opinions on this but my local grow store guy said it is mist effective. I'm worried about spraying on my flowers though. Can it hurt them? Just coming in and looking be

Fungus GnatsHey there fellow growers! I noticed some fungus gnats in my tent. I’m growing In Coco and am using organic dry fertilizers. How can I get rid of these pests without destroying the microbial life in the medium? Any tips and advice is appreciated!

Thrip control?So I have a small case of thrips. At first I was thinking the white bite marks in the leaves was some sort of deficiency until I saw one of the little buggers! Luckily it doesn't look bad so I'm just going to Finnish the run. Are there any mid flower treatments? ThanksWeek 9

Fungus gnats damage?A week ago i started noticing fungus gnats on the plant, already working on them. Today i noticed a lot more dark pistils over the plant since yesterday, could it be correlated to the gnats? also noticed that smaller leaves don't grow since a week or so, is it also correlated?
