thrips, 4 week into flower...plant vitality plus?

**stircrazy** · 08-09-11, 01:37 PM

hello people

i'm having thrips problems and after lots of reading, i've bought some plant vitality plus.
i'm now second guessing myself as the young fella in the shop said it wasn't organic and that he wouldn't use in flower. i bought some anyway cos the shop was a bastard to find!! so therefore i need some input please.

my ladies are on week 4 and the thrip damage is not too bad at the moment maybe due to the deployment of 2 lots of ladybirds but most have escaped now and they're getting pretty scarce outside for reinforcements. so it's only gonna get worse.

my question is can you use Plant Vitality in mid flower and is there a method that's work for 1 of you (spraying every 5th day or something like that)?

thanks for reading.
your thoughts and advise would be much appreciated.

I only use Pyrethrum 5EC - 4ml/Litre

PV should work well but you have to spray at lights off.

You have to soak the whole plant in it, even under the leaves, then do it agaiin 4-5 days later.... good luck

Plant Vitality Plus is the first spidermite spray that works after only one application. Also it will kill the eggs by spraying your substrate. You also can use it as a preventive treatment for cuttings to protect against Spidermite. Also helps protect the plants against Stress situations. Can be used 6 hours prior to harvest 25ml per litre.

here's abit i just looked up about it

"Don't believe the blurb. It's not organic. It has a poison called abemectin in it. However, it certainly does nuke them as you would expect from a chemical poison. Growth Technologies were selling it but stopped when they found out what was in it."

Spot on BAC's flagrant disregard for their customers safety is truly astounding. This really has got to be one of the worst examples of dutch cannaventurists exploiting their customers, it is completely untrue that you can spray flowers with this at anytime and they seem to completely neglect any safety advice regarding this product.

Abamectin or any of the mectins can be used safely if appropriate guidelines are followed but there are extremely toxic chemicals that should be used in very low concentrations and should not be inhaled or come in contact with your skin. I had a big debate with Whazzup before he was banned about this very same product.

found this uk420 thread which makes me wonder whether to use it or not?
am i being para or should i just get it used?
