Indoor grow, plague with Aphids.

[Dina]

Hello everyone My 2nd large indoor grow, became infested with Aphids. We applied every organic product known… Tried spraying with water in bathtub(mess)
I made homemade Castile soap, peppermint oil and water treatment etc.
I literally sat with my wearable magnifier and pulled off as many as I could see. The plants flowered beautifully and are currently drying.
Now comes the Sterilisation of the grow tent. Can I use a diluted mix of bleach, and water?
Thanks Dina

Not an indoor grower, but I think that is what most people use! Kind of surprised that no one ever uses ozone. Kind of expensive, but so are reoccurring infestations! Good luck with it!

Your RIGHT.. I’ve had it with bugs on indoor grows.. usually we did 1/2 outside during the day in summer, then brought back in at night. I had 2 spinal lumbar surgeries recently, so I couldn’t help hardly at all. I broke my sacrum after my first surgery in January. I’m a hot mess. lol

Aren't Ladybugs the natural predator of Aphids?

I use bleach diluted with water after my grow and inbetween grows. I had thrips 1x indoor after that i did a deep clean and continue to wipe down after grows. I've not had another issue since. Outdoor is another story i've never brought outdoor in my tent. I even take my plastics and bleach them down prior to moving them indoors.
