Great, thank you, I will probably just ride it out at this point as it is getting towards the end here, hopefully as it gets a bit colder in the coming weeks they will chill out a bit as well.Tet to do more then neem to wipe em out. If u are trying to stay organic use a multitude of different organic insecticides. Stylet oil, nuke em, exterminator, and tgere are alot more. Also soray a different product every 2 to 3 days till they are all gone. U dont wanna spray in week 6 esoecially not the oily stuff
I wouldn't worry much about the fade, naturally happening as the plant ripens and eats itself. I also wouldn't use neem during flower unless you want your flowers to taste like it. Just try and squish the little fuckers if you can. Shake them out and use a house to spray them off
First thing I always do with aphids is to hose them off (if plant is outdoors or can be moved outdoors). Then apply lady bugs or anti-aphid sprays. The hosing will get about 95% of them off, then the predators have a chance of knocking them back. It's like when you go to the ER with a gash in your hand - first thing they do is scrub it as clean as possible before applying antibioics.
I had some aphids start appearing this year. Hosed, and applied OG Biowar Foliar spray. I've done this twice now over last 3 weeks, and the aphids never really took hold. Hard to find any now. Good luck!
Would you advise using the hose this far into flower?
I suggest a product called: dr zymes ( flying nuke em would of worked if you would of been earlier, that stuff is good too )
Insecticide/Fungicide and even then switch it up with 5% h202 all the way to the end of harvest
This product is OMRI approved , will kill any soft bodied and kills PM . I use their strong dose if any visible pest is around and spray every 3-7 days depending on pest or mold issue .
The benefit to this product above is you can use it till day of harvest and it kills the pest within minutes of contact and it's safe to have on your buds, so safe you can drink it and you can spray ur grow room with it to clean it. (Makes me sound like a car rep for them)
Point is majority of products can't be used after 3rd week of flower at best cause they have oil bassis and don't kill so successfully the pest. Yes the product is a little costly but I think if your aren't stupid about spraying it's not bad at all .
Anther tip: is doing h202 with it@ 5% spraying so your not just using one product to depend on it (it's good to switch pesticides on spray cycles )
Everyone should have a cycle-resistant- plan or they will fail if they aren't doing the synthetic/deadly versions of pesticides
I did - but I really don't know the correct answer. I always read that people are worried about bud rot, etc... from soaking big buds. But i also live In a very arid environment, so I figured it was ok. I've done this in the past as well. Obviously it's not ideal to hose down buds, bud you have to make a judgment call as to which is more detrimental: the hose or the aphids. I cringed the first time I had to do it, but my wife who works in a greenhouse encouraged me to keep going, - and all worked out great.
Also, I wouldn't use the hardest stream your hose can deliver. My sprayer has a shower setting which is strong enough to blow the aphids off, but not damage plant. Just use good judgment.
Don't hose in direct sunlight. Maybe start with one plant and see how it responds for a day or two.
