How Does Green Cleaner Work?
Green Cleaner spray will adhere to the target insect, larvae, and egg case. Its active ingredients then disrupt digestion and respiration. Green Cleaner also penetrates to dehydrate their entire body while suffocating them. There is no way an insect can become immune to suffocation or dehydration.
Green Cleaner was designed to dehydrate and suffocate when it comes into contact with a pest. Thoroughly saturate your infested plants with Green Cleaner to kill many types of insects and diseases on contact. Green Cleaner’s unique formula does not stress the plant out and will not damage flowers, vegetables, or fruits as long as it is applied under proper lighting conditions.
Green Cleaner is natural and is safe for use around people, pets, soil, and food. With proper application, our product can be used up to the day of harvest.
Directions / Application
1. Preparation:
Shake Well: Before use, ensure that you shake the Green Cleaner container vigorously to mix the contents thoroughly. This step is crucial as the product is a concentrate that needs to be well mixed for effectiveness.
Mixing: Add water to your spray container first, then add Green Cleaner. The ratio for initial treatment is generally 15ml of Green Cleaner per litre of water for a severe infestation. For secondary applications, use 8ml per litre every 1-2 days, and for maintenance, use 4ml per litre once or twice a week.
2. Application:
Turn Off Lights: Apply Green Cleaner when the main lights in your grow room are off. This prevents any risk of burning the leaves due to the magnifying effect of water droplets under light. Allow the plants to dry completely before turning the lights back on.
• Spraying:
o Use a high-pressure sprayer or an atomizer for even coverage. Ensure you’re using the finest spray possible for thorough coverage.
o Spray all plant surfaces, including the undersides of leaves where spider mites often hide. Saturate the plants thoroughly but avoid spraying directly on the inner flower parts         during late flowering stages.
o If possible, lower the room temperature to around 65 degrees Fahrenheit to slow down the mite’s lifecycle, making control easier
3. Application Schedule:
Initial Drench: For severe infestations, start with 15ml of Green Cleaner per litre to knock down the population.
• Secondary Applications: Use 8ml per litre for follow-up treatments every 1-2 days until the infestation is under control.
• Maintenance: Once mites are controlled, apply 4ml per litre once or twice weekly to prevent re-infestation
4. Safety and Precautions:
Testing: Before widespread use, test Green Cleaner on a small, less vital part of your plants or on one or two plants to check for any adverse reactions.
• Protective Gear: Although Green Cleaner has a 0-hour re-entry interval and doesn’t require protective gear, handle with care to avoid any skin or eye irritation.
• Avoid Mixing: Do not mix Green Cleaner with other pesticides or nutrients as it should only be mixed with water
5. Additional Tips:
Remove Affected Leaves: Before spraying, remove and dispose of any severely affected leaves away from the growing area to reduce the mite population and prevent spread.
• Quarantine New Plants: Always quarantine new plants before introducing them to your main grow area to avoid introducing pests.
6. Post-Application:
Monitor your plants closely for signs of re-infestation and be prepared to reapply if necessary. Green Cleaner does not cause pest resistance, making it suitable for ongoing use in integrated pest management (IPM).
