Aphid’s won’t go away.

[Ak310]

I have a aphid infestation. I believe they are Aphid’s anyway. I’ve been using Monterey concentrate and they are still there. Here is a photo of the little assholes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Get sticky paper traps , plug a tiny night light if they are indoors and put the light on at night and the sticky paper next to it ......
You will kill 50 a night , eventually you will get them all
Also use the Monterrey spinosad again

Actually that's my trick for thrips , sorry , but you can use that method if you get thrips , which should be inevitable

If the aphids are drawn to light like most pests , you might want to try my sticky soloution

This makes sense I totally forgot they are attracted to light. I just cut the lights out and am going into flower. Hopefully between that and the Monterey spray they go away for good

But if your going into flower be careful , works best for me when I'm not under a flower schede , but you can pull it off , just don't turn on main light for first half hour and use the sticky light or do it on the lights out dark side and compensate for 12/12 however you need to .....

Thanks for the advice buddy. I’ll let you know how it works out.

Aphid's can be sprayed off with soapy water.

Do you ever see ants in your grow? Some ant species "farm" aphids and will keep putting new ones on your plants.

We would use a piece of wire, just a wrap around the stem angle out and up, they'd crawl out and up it and you could just wipe them off. That was before the internet though, and probably frowned on now. Cheers

Good luck.

I’ve tried sticky thing

Ive Tried pressure washing the plants

I’ve tried diamotaceous earth

I’ve tried spraying with super concentrated soap. What most people fail to mention is it can’t be a detergent. Dawn is no good. It did more damage to the plants than the aphids did and I seem to be the only one who knows this or repeats it anywhere???

ive tried neem oil

I’ve tried ladybugs

Nothing works. I thought this was supposed to be fun??

Did you try dumping your infested medium , cleaning out the room and starting with a fresh medium or peat based , instead of soil ?

 

[dire wolf]

Spinosad for aphids thrips

Sticky for fungus gnats

Your applicator also matters, it can be hard to get good coverage with a little spray bottle.

 

[Beachwalker]

They can live in the roots

I literally rushed these plants to flower so I can do just that. Can’t wait for this nightmare grow to be done so I can start fresh. Sans bugs.

For me personally. I bought a little pump pressure sprayer.

I sprayed the plants underside. From bottom to top. Totally soaked them. Used 5ml of neem per gallon

by the time I was don’t plant 6, the first plant had almost dried up. So they alll got a double dose of potent neem oil. Every 2 days. I did that 3-4 times. Didn’t seem to do anything.

literally the only thing I havnt tried is spinosoad

Neem works on aphids but i wouldnt spray neem on flowers, tastes awful.

Root drench

Same place man I think they are gone they return... literally looking at hydro systems to hopefully end the bugs reign one grow of dealing with them is the enough for me.
