Hello everyone!
I wanted to get some thoughts on how everyone deals with mealybugs if they have ever run into them? I seems to have found some on a couple branches on a two of my plants.
I went and inspected each plant and manually removed any I found and also defoliated the plants in the affected areas so I can see if any more pop up. I treated them both pretty heavily with some captain jacks neem oil spray on the stem base. They are flowering so I don't want to spray the buds. I lowered the temps in the room to about 74 and the humidity is in the lower 40s most of the time.
I have some DE coming I plan to start implementing in addition to the neem sprays. I also use some sticky traps and plan to use some pot popper nematodes in the next round. Will all of that be enough to prevent any future infestation?
They are close to finish so I am just going to watch them closely till they are done unless I'm missing something and should pitch them now. I only found about a dozen or so between both plants. After these are done I planned to get everything cleaned really well before the next run. I think I have my bases covered but figured I'd ask someone with more experience just in case. Thank you in advance for any help!
