What Real Growers Are Saying: "Nothing Compares to Crop Defender 3"

From Brenda M. at The Nug Garden in Oklahoma:

"We recently set up a new grow and had clones for a while in a small 8x8 room. They were not well with lots of yellowing and some gnats. In the time that I have been growing, I have experienced problems with russet mites, gnats and powdery mildew. We’ve gotten through it all, but the feelings of thinking you are failing at what you love to do is devastating. We always think about the health of our plants and the patient who buys our flower.

As soon as I transplanted and applied Crop Defender 3, my plants are green, healthy and thriving. Even after the first application, I was beyond excited to see positive change in greener leaves, stronger plants and no bugs.  The quick results gave me hope that we got this, and we will make it. 

Now that we’ve been using Crop Defender 3 regularly, it is very efficient to cover bugs and powdery mildew in one spray. I have a shelf full of products, we have tried it all.  Nothing compares to Crop Defender 3. This is the prettiest veg room I have had. I love the smell of my veg room after spraying and that I can use beneficial bugs with Crop Defender 3 when needed. Our girls are loving Crop Defender 3. Green, green, green!"

The triple-action formula kills powdery mildew, spider mites, russet mites, thrips, aphids and other soft-bodied insects as well as their eggs on contact.
