Thanks Cap
I was interested in the metarhizium species to compare that to the met 52 product and I was very pleased to find anisopliae in there.

I'm currently testing out the foliar pack on my run which has been attacked by RA's. I've given them root drenches of azamax, evergreen, and now the foliar pack @ x4 strength. The RA population has diminished significantly and I'm hoping to make it another 4 weeks till harvest. I want to believe that the foliar pack will do its job when properly inoculated into my coco but I might have to administer a pyrethoid to make it through. Namely triazicide.

I will definitely be using the foliar pack as a preventative in my nursery from now on.

homie only use the foliar pack if you combine it with all those other remedies it will not be as effective as I believe you will hinder the growth of the fungi.

Are you saying the evergreen, azamax, and triazicide drenches will inhibit fungal growth?
What other remedies are reffering to? I'm a little confused about the post

yes. the azamax triazicide etc will inhibit good fungal growth.

Ok guys...been away from this thread for a hot minute...just thought I'd shoot an update!


The aphid species responsible for all of our troubles is Rhopalosiphum Padi, which is one of the biggest pests to wheat, oats, barley and corn in North America - especially in places that don't see a harsh winter. The aphid themselves are typically not the problem though - R. Padi is known in the entomology world as the main vector for Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus - after collaborating with some guys in a food science program at a university (can't be too specific about that at this time) we're pretty sure BYDV is what's causing most of the telltale signs of infestation as well as long term damage to genetics. We're waiting for the university to get it's hemp program started up and then we will begin sending tissue samples to a lab.

here is what BYDV looks like on affected crops:

see any similarity to a heavily damaged MMJ plant?

here's a simple and sorta cute chart on the 'phid and how it spreads infection

I'm still dealing with root aphids every now and then, but a year plus of OG Biowar at least once a week has completely devestated the colony to the point where I never see fliers and I never see a decline in plant health or yield. It's been well over 9 months since I've seen excessive fliers or colonies in the root zone or on sticky traps, and I haven't seen any of the crazy discoloration/stunting that happens with root aphids.

Great update, thank you!

Bumping this thread again, I've had a lot of people asking me about root aphids and would love for people to use this as a reference. I still use og biowar, currently applying with each transplant (both in tea and mixed into media) and as a soak, 1/8 cup per gallon of water along with 1/4 cup diatomaceous earth. I rarely see root aphids so when I water it in it's used as a treatment/prevention in the rare chance I see a flier. These guys get out of hand fast, and most people dealing with them are past the point of infestation and have developed difficult to eliminate colonies. I would still recommend og biowar foliar pack as the go-to for root aphids, I know people who have eliminated infestations completely by applying og biowar and using a single dose of imidacloprid in veg. This stuff changed the game.
