I dont know if this is too late. I figure a valuable lesson in humility will do me good. Ive never had a room of plants look like this in 20 years...or since I've started.
I decided to break one of the cardinal rules in the/my book. A friend was given a cutting by some old folks that was also meant to grace my garden. I never except cuttings in the case of stowaway pests. First time it was 2 spotted mites. Second time it was PM. Finally i took this last cut and it was Broad mites. Maybe I'll learn after this...
So I started with neem oil and bronner's lavender soap. It was working okay it kept them down and may have eradicated them if I stuck with it. Instead I tried a vinegar solution diluted 6:1. The original recipe was 4:1. I thought it was safe. Well it is, just not after a neem oil treatment 2 days prior. The plants should have 2 weeks for the oil to break down before anything else is sprayed. Vinegar or sulfur , idk if the same is true for Isopropyl solutions?
So here is the arbor atm...I was just getting the bleach water bucket ready to stuff all the ill biomass in. I'm chopping everything, cleaning and starting another 60 beans. 3 different types...I'm thinking 20ct Blue Sunshine and/or Peach hashplant, 20ct BT #28 x Kashmir #5 and I cant make up my mind on the last 20ct. Maybe the Noodle cross...Noodle/Gogi f3 x Black Triangle.
This should put it in perspective...cheers!
