Growing Alphids on Saliva (pics) UPDATED
#5763174 - 06/18/06 03:27 AM (17 years, 7 months ago) |

Hello everyone, i just got a new job. Im sopposed to produce millions of alphids. Ive started out using saliva as a breeding ground. Once i have enough we are gonig to spread them all over america via planes.
You might ask why?
Our goal is to flood indoor gardeners into frustration. If they want to grow entho plants we are going to at least make it as painful for them as possible.
anyways onto the pictures of my spider mite grow op:
First one is of my saliva plant, notice the nice fat stems 

Next one here has a good view of my alphids notice the quality of them (big and plump)sure to impress my buyers **EDIT** also notice these are so fucking big that one of them got RED EYE FROM THE FLASH:

here is a nice picture of one of the alphids shedding his skin:

and here is below that leave, of all the skins they have dropped to give you a nice idea how many are on just that one leave!

<--end of jokes...anyways i sprayed the hell out of the plant with soap water i let these bastereds get way out of hand. Hope you enjoyed!! I know i did.
-------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE:
ok guys, ive had these guys for a while, i spray them for a week with a mild soap formula and it killed them but i could never get them all...always came back. When i took those pictures above i used a HEAVY soap formula and well some of my leaves started to die. So i stopped spraying...
but i wanted these bastereds gone. So this is what i did 

as you can tell.....i did some trimming

ALOT OF TRIMMING. I figer if there's only a couple leaves i have a greater chance of smashing these guys with my fingers and ending this prob once and for all. I searched the plant up and down and found none. But im sure theres eggs just watching to hatch. Which will be killed when i find them.
i should start a poll or something on who thinkgs my plant will live or not.
OH is it just me or does that last pic look like a cactus lol??

Well if ya had mites you'd have a prob but those are aphids and whiteflys. Both are easy to get rid of.

It's strange. You dont know the name of the plant, but you know the name of the parasite. You are weird.

Definitely not spider mites, those would be freakishly large spider mites if they were. Spider mites are but a fraction of the bugs pictured in terms of size.

Yea...if those were spider mites, you would not have plants. There is no way spidermites can thrive that much before the plant falls appart.
I had a good 10 salvia plants and I'm down to 2 because of those bastards. I used to grow them and they had big, broad leaves. My plants were 2 ft. tall! Then spidermites destroyed everything. Now I can't even see any mites, but my plants won't recover. If I want to salvage them, I think I need to invest in some predatory mites.

So obviously those are aphids, I get those on my outside plants. But I got lots of actual spider mites (real little white bugs, lots of "webbing" around petioles) on my indoor plants, salvia and pot mostly. So how do I get rid of these bastards? I spray with neem oil once every month or two, but either that's not frequent enough or not the right spray. Any help?
edit: just realized Magash's last post was referring to other folks mite problems, not aphids. So I may just go out and get some of that stuff, thanks for the recommendation.

Well, aphids generally disappear quickly if you smash them and use a good insecticide combo...maybe some neem oil and tobacowater. I would recommend letting the tobaco leaves sit in some 91% IPA and then dilluting that with water, if your planning on making the tobacowater. This way you disolve more actives out of the leaves.
If these were mites, your plant would be f*kt. I had mites a couple months ago on one of my plants and got rid have them all. I check the plants almost every morning and have found no mites for over a month, but my leaves are still symtomatic for some odd reason.

so say you wanted to make tobacco water and not poison yourself in the process.
tobacco in a jar finely powdered with 99% IPA for 2 days shaking as often and as hard as possible.
now what confuses me is, wouldnt evaporating it and scraping it up like most iso extracts be a bad idea?
would it be better to strain the alcohol/tobacco mixture into a glass and then dilute and let evap for a while so the alcohol kinda hands the tobacco over to the water and makes on its way?

This may be a little out-of-the-box, but it did come to me about 2 seconds after I woke up this morning.
Who here thinks using dog or cat shampoo to clean plants would get rid of various pests (mostly mites). I mean I know that animals attract different types of mites, but aren't they all just tiny arachnids?
