Did you know that the larvae eat about 10 times as many aphids then their adult counterparts? Seems the older ones are only concerned with one thing... Yup, it's day 69 for me :dancer: :woody:
 
Gnat massacre looool

Oh yeah love me some ladybugs normally have a few hanging around… I was going to order some more with the nematodes but they were out of stock right now :dammit:
 
My nematodes came yesterday but earthboxes were too to wet to give them water.. These boxes hold moisture forever barely water at all since planting.. Made a gallon for when I put the BTI and spinosad on and barely used a liter of that for all three that’s all I’ve water since planting.. when I planted beans they only got about a liter each if that.. Girls are looking great but doubt the boxes will dry tonight so I can apply the todes… Hopefully by Saturday Sunday I’ll be able to :goodluck: I’ll put up pics later:pop:
 
Day 8
This post is from LS but any input from the folks in here is appreciated

Ok so I read them got it pretty simple now if the pots are still pretty moist on the surface should I still water the soil first? but I must also mention they are day 8 almost to the start of week 3 two more days according to my calendar which is they're first top dressing and that has me thinking I should wait and apply them then or apply now and hold of on the top dress for a couple days doing mid to end of week 3 :shrug: any and all input is greatly appreciated :d5::thanks:

Day 8
Ok so i think we got a plan @Fermented_Fruitz suggested removing the covers and applying the todes when I top dress which will be Sunday I think :doh: :lol: Also give them couple days to dry out just a tad cause they are a touch over watered... When I top dress I will be adding composts a along with dry feed (EWC, lobster compost, cow manure composts) amounts to be determined i normally do 1/2 cup EWC, 1/4 plant food for a 5-10 gallon pot.. the rest is new :eek1::stir:

I switched them to 18/6 2 days ago and bumped the ppfd up a bit getting 360+ ppfd 23-25 dli at the pots running 70-80% (261watts) @ 50" from pots.. That's my max height i am just going to leave it there and adjust dimmer as needed

I dont put the shower caps (covers) on the Jrs until i top dress around day 21 and start filling the rez. So I think this is a good plan.
 
I think @Fermented_Fruitz is correct. You don't have to mix the nema's with water. It's just to make sure you have a good distribution.
So if you mix the nematode powder with your topdressing well and then divide this over the soil, you probably will get the same result.
