or the non/wettable kind...just put some in an old sock and go shake it all over the plants. maybe wear a mask or bandana so it doesn’t irritate your lungs.

Hey guys I need some help here please my outdoor plants have aphids fack!!! What’s the best way to get rid of them? I can’t get American products up here in Canada I read soap and water works does btk work on them I’m in full flower

Spray them out the buds. Their white sticky secretions turn into black sooty mold when the buds ripen. I had them one summer in my light dep crop. Soap and water does work.

yeah maybe spray the insecticidal soap/water and let it all dry, then do your DE to knock out any still alive. I believe in the one-two punch

how cold does it get there?

a little Sunday afternoon project

how cold does it get there?

Cold enough lol. I've run a plant til mid December and only thing that stopped it was rain when it caved in the greenhouse roof. We get frost patches through December and January. In ground plants can usually handle it if watered and mulched prior to frost. It never goes below 32 and rarely hits 32. Fog is more of an issue for me. Can cause mold in tight quarters with Indica dom plants..

well good luck! I keep thinking about whether I could grow in winter here (ABQ). I could probably make it to Dec, after that, just need luck. We have bright sun all year though...hmmm. Thanks for the info on this!
