Indoor Mephisto/Nightowl Grow

I thought i ordered Captain Jacks Dead bug. But I must have switched it to Sevin when i was drunk on Sunday lol. Damn Super Bowl smh.
So has anyone ever used Sevin dust? I am finding conflicting information. It says that Sevin will kill Springtails and mites and aphids ect. But after I use it I can't water for 48 hours.

That's a pesticide. Keep it away from your plants

Mine are in veg/pre flower so I am not sure if I should use it or not. There are no bugs up top just springtails on the top layer of coco. I think I should be safe putting it on top of my Media. But wanted to make sure. But the big thing that has me worried is I can't water it for 48 hours after using it. So I may have to get Captain Jack's after all.

It's my understanding that if you get the dust wet, it just quits working. Hopefully if you water before application, your bugs will be dead before you water, or you can just reapply. Nothing to worry about.

This sux. I want to start 2 more seeds but I am worried that the springtails are going to fuck em up. I got Root Riot cubes and fresh coco and fresh perlite. New 1 gallon pots and now these fawkin bugs

Agreed. I've been able to stay away from insecticides for the past several months and intend to keep away. After learning about how living soil feeds the plant, I just can't use it and use living soil.

Idk I am hearing more bad than good about the Sevin. I don't really want to risk it. I think I am going to get something different. I have cats also and they sometimes make there way in my lung room so that has me worried.

Their numbers have gotten smaller. I let the top layer get a lil dry before I watered them. And it seems to have cut there numbers down. But I am in coco I can't keep letting it get dry like that.

I probably should have just went with the DE.

Springtails are beneficial insects they're not gonna hurt anything.

DE mixed into the top, vacuum the sides and bottoms of the bags and the floor of the tent. They'll be much better in a couple of days and should be pretty much gone in about 2 weeks. The DE will cut up the springtails and kill them that way

Smart move. It's better to stay away from the nuclear option as much as possible anyway, and I'd say Sevin qualifies as nuclear.
