Here’s episode 4 of “The Marijuana Minute“, in it we talk about ladybugs, why you should really have them as a regular part of your (indoor) marijuana grow room and how to keep them alive even when there are no other bugs for them to eat.

They are a very inexpensive insurance policy and you can get them on Amazon (we ordered 1500 of the girls for $6.50) and if/when you order them DO NOT select expedited shipping, even if you don’t have Amazon Prime (with the free 2 day shipping) the bugs will get to you in just 2-4 days. So save your money.

Here’s an image from our last order and out of the 1500 ladybugs I’d be surprised if the dead bugs added up to 25.

And here’s an image of the girls having a snack at our DIY “feeding station“.

Lastly, when you do add them to your grow room do it when your lights are off, this way the girls will “wake up” in their new environment. If they arrive while your lights are on you can store them in your frig (NOT freezer) until the lights go out. But it will do them no harm to released into your room when the lights on.
