    Default X1 lady bug vs thousands of pests

    After spending the weekend searching for x1 ladybug, finally foubd one in the dirt. They are not easy to find when you are actively looking for them. (Definitely a good side business for anyone that can farm these things)

    As soon as I put it into the soil pot it went to work. It even went over the pot rim to hoover up any pests there too. Checking over couple of hours it's moving all over the tent by the looks of it. I've put a wet paper towel ball in and bottle lid of water too. But I suspect it'll be gone by tomorrow or the day after. ????

    I see Amazon sell them. £16 for 25 of them. I have never seen any grow shop list them. But soil pests seem very common I'm surprised people haven't farmed them as it looks like it could be an easy £100 a week for someone

    Dragonfli sell them, £11 for 50 larvae or 15 adults also sell lacewing larvae which eat more pests during larval stage but stop once matured
