Discovered bugs on the roots of some large clones in an ez cloner. Roots and plants seem healthy , bugs green and brown ish. Thanks, any help is appreciated
I have to say that it's really surprising that the only thing that's being reported is the presence of the bugs. I mean, IF those are root aphids, where are the brown, dying roots? Where's the complaining about chasing weird deficiency after weird deficiency? Or rock solid genetics going hermy?
Doesn't anyone else notice how fat and healthy white the roots look? Isn't that kind of weird?
Well, since that's the case, how about you try this trick I've read about twice now? Get yourself some Neem, even the stupid Greenlight stuff, and a stick-blender. Mix up a batch at the highest dosing rate, and blend that like a mofo, make a Neem daquiri! Drench. Repeat until eradicated.Yeah its real odd, there Are alot if them on a few clones roots and none on some but allthe clones look the same. Left then over night and still look healthy as can be
El, it sure seems to me that given how easily we can observe these bugs, how many we can see, that they very well may not be root aphids. I'm not saying ignore the issue, but they may not be RAs. Just cuz they've got six legs does not an aphid make.

Set up sticky traps, too. If there are flyers, then you do indeed have an issue that's waiting to explode. The whole scenario just doesn't quite jive, though.

could be just the start of the infestation. in time, i'm sure those problems would follow.
nothing more than a collection of chemicals really
could say that for anything really. doesn't make it any less impressive!
huh? i thought we were trying to identify bugs?yeah, i know about viruses and realise that they aren't even classified as life. but our definitions are arbitrary. as classification based on features we deem important is only as important as the importance we give it. at the end of the day, we are still just a collection of chemicals, interacting in an incredibly complex way.
what are they then? do you know what RAs look like? and why would they be hard to observe in this situation? do you find them only congregating in small numbers on your planet?El, it sure seems to me that given how easily we can observe these bugs, how many we can see, that they very well may not be root aphids.
