Root Aphids...cut Ties Or...

[Mtnjam92]

Ya bro, I was gona cut and run. I just had the worst aphid infestation I’ve ever had. Put some serious thought into it. I worked to hard to get to this point then to just let a bug beat me. I’ve lost 2 plants so far but I kept fighting and the plants hermied, but I ain’t giving up now. Starting week 6 Monday. No matter what stage your at in your grow never give up!View attachment 854840View attachment 854841View attachment 854842View attachment 854844View attachment 854845View attachment 854846

Hell yeah! Your surviving! If they were aphids I think I'd definetly be out though at this point. I could just throw some new clones in an be back on track real quick. Luckily I dont have to. First time I've had a real nice canopy so ive been very sad the last few days lol

@1diesel1 I feel for you man. At least you are somewhat close to harvest

Thanks man!

Thanks man!

I assume you wont have a tough time getting new genetics, but were you going to keep any cuts or start from scratch?

Promis for root aphids & fungus gnats. Find @demontrichs posts about it. I followed his directions to something like 1ml per gallon on back to back to back drenches & they were gone within 2-3 weeks.

botanigard es, and mosquito dunks will take care of whatever in your soil.
spinosad spray if stuff on your leaves, the plant will survive

Any type of Imidacloprid insecticide will work but should only be used in pre-veg or early veg. You should only ever use it minimum 60-90 days before harvest, Never in flower. It is a very persistent systemic.

I used Merit 75 or similar to eradicate root aphids, used as root drench in veg only,than followed up with OG biowar(foliar). Ive only had them twice over many years, the RA untreated can wipe out plants really fast. MtnJam im glad to hear you've got the good bugs, didnt know until now there are good aphids!!
Also have had good luck with the OGbiowar line,ive seen noticeable effects when using these products in the past. IMO only

I’m not an expert but there are no good aphids. Hypoaspis miles or stratiolaelaps scimitus is a benefical soil dweller under the arachnida class. Soil is alive in more than one way and not all life forms are parasites.

Yo diesel. I’ve been battling these demons for a year now!!! What are thoughts on the OGbiowar. That was gonna be my main ingredient for my IPM. Best of luck too man. These creatures are evil
