This sort of bullshit happens to every grower that grows for long enough. All you can do is deal with it and move on. And you will be wiser for it.
Honestly the best way to learn about pests is dealing with them, as shitty as it is.
Im just throwing them away with the dirt into the woods. Does that count as experience?
:-) lol
I think i would try this company as an alternative to hlg.

Have you looked at Ecofarm.ca yet? Next lights I get are likely gonna be from there.
Haha, NO!
But next time you start seeing deficiency signs that seem unexplainable I'd be willing to bet you'll take an even closer look at things. I remember saying you should look for root aphids a while back when I was seeing familiar signs and your descriptions matched my experiences. Mind you with RAs they can be super hard to confirm, so this is NOT in any way an "I told ya so".. I know you did look for them. Just that this experience will likely change the way you interpret signs, now that you know what the damage looks like.
The bitch is the fliers on sticky cards often look a LOT like fungus gnats. And finding them in the soil can be nearly impossible until the numbers have reached a catastrophic threshold.
Stoked to see you are going to run full room crops though! That's going to present a few different challenges for sure, but I think also quite a few benefits. Curious to see how you like it compared to perpetual.
my ex. mother and father in law lives right down the road in that trailer park to the west of youNo one really close enough. I can keep males outside and females inside the greenhouses and no pollination. I've even been able to keep both outside but 30+ feet apart and no pollination. I'd be hard pressed to believe I'm pollinating any other plants when I know my 2 closest neighbors are not growing. I really have an ideal property for growing.
Man I'm so sry this has happen MMI
Wow is all I got right Now.....................
you got this and will be much better when back up and running.......
Honestly man this is why I have a bunch of 2k rooms (7.5 x 11) vs bigger rooms or perpetual. After dealing with RA in the past and then PM when I got here Im a bleach nazi now. Just so easy to clean between everything and keep it rolling. Also gives me a spot to empty my veg room and clean that once a month without taking too hard of a hit to a flower room for too long. Tents are way EZ to clean.
We have all dealt with it at some point. No shame in the game.
Sorry you got root aphids, bugs suck, never had those but I've been dealing with gnats, thrips, powdery mildew & environment control issues this year.
At least new place in few weeks will give me basement space so I can clean tents properly & I'll have room for bales of hp.
Promix said stuff I got doesnt have fertilizers in it but runoff is about 1000ppm on fresh stuff so I'm not sure how that's "no fertilizer" with runoff that high lol
It's just too much for seedlings in general so far, I'm gonna try hp in few weeks so hopefully that'll be better, if I remember right the hp is really plain but guess I'll find out if I'm wrong lolThere is a response from pro mix to an email i sent about the ppm back a couple pages or so.
The rep said thatThe american bales and the canadian bales are the same. But some states have strict fertilizer labeling laws and so pro mix eliminated listing the starter fertilizer charge on the bale or website.
5 years ago my bale said it included a starter charge. My new bale does not. But it has 1.8 ec or so.

Lol, I wish I was overwatering, they dry out in between waters (pick up cup/pot method)I have a bale of HP. It has an unlabeled starter charge. But i have never had a problem with seedlings in it. Like i said my runoff was 1.8 ec (900 ppm).
You can just flush it out if you dont want it. I did that for a while til the rep finally answered my second try at emailing them.
Flushes out pretty easy but no need. Maybe you are overwatering the seedlings?
I dont have hp right now, its promix moisture potting mix from walmart, says no need to feed for monthsI have a bale of HP. It has an unlabeled starter charge. But i have never had a problem with seedlings in it. Like i said my runoff was 1.8 ec (900 ppm).
