    Posted this in another thread but think it should be a beginner's forum or pests and diseases forum stickie.

    It's essentially a classroom lesson on pests and diseases complete with slides from one of the world's premier MJ botanists.

    That is indeed an excellent video. Changed my attitude, he did. Strangely I'm finding this whole pest control thing a fascinating topic. Freaked me out at first but we can fix it. Here is a classic example of how humans are smarter than spider mites. I'm in the middle of an infestation right now. I gave it one impulsive Neem Oil treatment immediately upon discovering the problem, which I'm noticing now has had a controlling effect. Most of the Neem Oil residual effect should be gone by now. I've opted to fight fire with fire, with an army of mite eating mites to scour every little nook and cranny.


    I got a useful bit of info from an old friend who just happens to have been owner operator of a bug growing business these past thirty or so years. He told me that Lady Bugs don't eat the eggs. They will eventually eat everything that hatches but it takes longer for this reason. I'm feeling pretty confident I can win this battle, and learn a thing or two about monitoring for problems and pre-emptive preventative action.

    Been hunting in all the usual places to no avail. If I ever find it again I'm stealing it and putting it in the GK vault.

    How many lady bugs would be good for say 6 plants in a 2x4 area? Is it like a few per plant maintenance deal?
