So in a week to 10 days from application date, what do I do? Haul the unit outside and gentle hose everything off? - I post a couple picts real quick.
THANK YOU SO MUCH... That stuff cleans off extremely well and way above what I expected. It all cleans off. Give a light spray with a hose or shake it under water for about 15 seconds. Either way.. WOW - Onward bound to the finish... Well, after whatever problem pops up next.. hahaSup brother,
Yeah, you could wash it off afterwards, or you could just leave it on and it’ll end up wearing off over time. I’d actually wait a little longer than ten days then just remove the areas with the aphids a bottle of water and hydrogen peroxide and spray it on, then wipe the dead insects off with a cloth or paper towel and reapply a little water/hydrogen peroxide mix n let it dry.
there are a few ways you can handle it.
So, how much should I dilute that stuff into the water?Sup brother,

we all go through some sort of disaster at some point with growing, it’s your turn that’s all.What worries me most is where else I could be possibly dragging these Things and not knowing it and #2 how hard it is going to be to permanently get rid of them before I start anew? Because I know, they got to be in every nook and cranny of my room, everywhere. I plan on replacing drywall, installing vinyl flooring, oil base painting. It will be at least a month if not 2 before I re-start. I will caulk and seal everything after treating the grow room/closet, building, foundation and surroundings with malathion. I am going to give it it's full 14 days and gently hose everything off. Today is day 6. Just creeps me out a little. I am not scared of bugs but the ones you cannot actually see very well, Ehhh. The DE sure does wash off fairly completely. The last microscope pictures prove that. I never imagined it would clean that completely. The building that houses my grow is less than 2 years old from new stick built construction. Wondering how I will treat my window A/C unit I built into the exterior wall. By the time I am up and going again I will be worried about heating and not cooling my area. I will know more when I get off work this afternoon. So far I cannot prove to myself that the DE is doing what I thought it should be doing, but we will see. I have never had this much trouble ever and my first indoor was in 1984. Can't wait to open the door every day just to see what is failing next. hahaha. Good luck with everything you got going, and thanks for the support... JoryK too. I am just going to continue with this thread. That way I have all my recent history in the same place.
you need to kill the eggs, hydrogen peroxide..Was starting to feel better so I took a few leaves and stayed outside with the laptop and the scope... All these guys are moving around.. Grrr.
