Prevention is always better than the cure, especially when it comes to spider mites since they don't respond to chemical sprays. There are no short cuts to a clean grow, always quarantine your clones for two weeks and use predatory mites!!

Below is the distinctive webbing that spider mites produce to travel across plants, this level of an infestation can cause serious economic damage to crops. This is why scouting should be taken very seriously as the first line of defence.

Fun Fact: Canadians say “sorry” so much that a law was passed in 2009 declaring that an apology can’t be used as evidence of admission to guilt. #HappyCanadaDay! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Bumblebees are one of the best pollinators. They increase yield, produce better fruits, and are cost-effective.

[GrowLiv Biologicals Ltd @GrowLiv]

Fungus gnats have no hope of surviving when you've got atheta (dalotia coriaria) in your soil. This little soil-dwelling beetle is an aggressive predator and an active flier. It will seek out fungus gnat infestations and eliminate them quickly.

Shipping out some tiny alligators (green lacewing larvae). These guys are known for their ability to destroy aphid infestations but did you know that they can also eat many other pests if aphids aren’t around!

#greenlacewing #beneficialnsects #naturalenemies #aphids

[GrowLiv Biologicals Ltd @GrowLiv]

Spider mites are tiny in size, about 0.5 mm long as adults. Their small size is one of the main reasons why it’s so hard to detect them during the initial stages of infestation.
