twigs Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 @MindSoup apparently you can mix and spray or make a tea, but ive yet to do that with it, i lightly dusted the bottom leaves and stem of a few plants for thrips + top dressed + sbpi and no more thrips or knats! im going to top dress some vegging plants today for fungus knats and when i pot up next add it to the compo mix got it from those amazonian people 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) @twigs nice one mate I like the idea of just dusting stuff down with it. What does SBPI stand for? Edited November 10, 2022 by MindSoup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindSoup Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Oh right I think I've seen that while I've been googling but wasn't sure if it would hurt my beneficials as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twigs Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I sometimes cover the top of the pot with an old t-shirt when doing a good spray down and sometimes I don’t can’t say if I’ve seen a difference or not dude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindSoup Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Thankfully mine aren't . Early days but I think I've seen the back of them now. I've given everything in the veg box a good trim and removed most of the thrippy leaves so should be able to see if the new growth is clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using neem meal as a top dress for a bit but that didn't seem to be effective. I have had varied results when top dressing neem meal, I think it's now environmental percentages helping it work, or not if that makes sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonDaMon Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Citric acid 2 teaspoons per litre of water. instant knock down and organic and has no detrimental effect in buds when in flower either. Always test on plant lower down to see if mix is too strong. citric acid is generally the #1 ingredient in most OMRI organic pest control products followed by neem or garlic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
