Thanks mate . Looks like some type of scale bug . I’ve had two branches just randomly die on the affected plants . I’m not sure if these guys attributed ?Scale insect - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
I’m sending a bug Id confirm( ur pic ) to 2 diff bug experts/bug seller companies and see what their views are !
Just so happens I have a bottle of green cleaner made up . I managed to remove most of the pods manually with only minor abrasion to the stem . Thanks for all your efforts buddy . You don’t leave any stone unturned ??After some thought and looking at what the ipm about scale and what u can do to kill the adults , the green-cleaner recipe would work great against them!
a great knockout recipe that does same function as greencleaner/nuke em/loast coast is=
1/3 iso 70%, 1/3 sals soap & canola oil
this recipe will do same modes as all those expensive brand stuff, keeping it simple
app rate = 1/2oz (low pressure)-2oz high pressure per gallon water
always shake ur concentration mix before applying, also make sure to let it dissolve into ur water for 15 minutes. Like any foliar let ur plants intake the foliar for 3hrs without high ppfd and make sure to spray fully and fine mist vs runoff/droplets.
if it was me I would spray for 3-5 times in a row the dih spray I listed above, start with 1-1/2 oz than 2nd time 1 oz and watch the pest and plants reaction . once pest pressure low/ gone do once a week . than I would use biocontrols
if I had more experience with scales i Could give ya a whole rotational but my guess after removing adults and spraying it s few times u won’t have any issues. The greenclesner diy recipe makes it less than 10 bucks for a concentrate vs what paying over 200 bucks for it? the reason I’m suggesting this over just iso is u got a multi mode of kill/defense/repel
Are u asking me just use the diy greencleaner recipe instead if u can’t get suffoilx? yes this is why I wrote that diy since some people cannot get it and wanted a recipe anyone could get that stuff and make it.BH - do you think a cheapskate, or person w/o Suffoil X availability could diy w/ green cleaner recipe subbing the mineral oil for canola?
Canola oil is probably healthier. Mineral oil is distilled petroleum and has some health concernsBH - do you think a cheapskate, or person w/o Suffoil X availability could diy w/ green cleaner recipe subbing the mineral oil for canola?
LOL, those are barnacles that followed you back from the boatAnybody got a clue what these alien looking egg pod thingys are ? I’m able to knock them off the stems with a little prying . Had 3 plants with maybe 15-20 on lower stems each . @BH ? View attachment 156073
This is why if im doing mineral oil im doing suffoilx where they removed that issueCanola oil is probably healthier. Mineral oil is distilled petroleum and has some health concerns
Lol...so does asbestos.why!
! Cause it works
Lol...so does asbestos.
I don't like mineral oil. I believe I provided a link. You are the one getting your panties in a twist. Which you typically do when somebody doesn't go along with your recommendation. No big deal. And you did not address one point I made..just regurgitated the company line about why it's not harmful.why this poison is ok.
History shows us not to take as gospel what companies put out in their sales promo's. When I see a company going to great lengths to convince me of something I get suspicious. I already don't like refined petroleum products for several reasons.
No matter how much you cut and paste, you have not changed my mind. Hitting me with poop smilies shows how weak and lame you really are.
Before this goes too far.that’s ur source? Lol
only issue I could see if ur using sulphur or anything that can’t be used near or time limited against oil based. well I don’t use sulphur so what’s ur point ? How many products you even use for cosmetic to wrapping ur food have that in it? oh my lol ?
i think I’ll go with ag industry backing products and approval listing for my state and everyone for cannabis vs a person online with zero facts using its cemented info and all it’s “source” is a url google, shoot you corrected me, oh wait u didn’t . another reason why I hate forums
read their manual ppe,, reh, yeah soo “dangerous”
