Mimed’s Perpetual Thread

Well that's why I'm second-guessing myself because I am still watching for thrips and it's conceivable they're not all gone yet especially now that I've read that the lava can live in the soil, and I hope it was a thrip, believe me, but this right here is what I saw, 100% positive that this was exactly the shape and virtually the same color as what I saw, what I saw didn't have any of those ridges on the abdomen like the thrip lava do but it wasn't bulbous either, it look just like what I've circled in these pictures whatever the hell that actually is I wish I could have located it when I had the camera in my hand

I couldnt tell the thrip from the aphid from that pic. But thats about what i saw crawling up out of the pots in addition to winged ones seeming to sprout wings and fly out of the runoff or drain hole.

I can't tell either right now, I'm more confused now than when I went to sleep two hours ago LOL

Destroy Root Aphids in your Cannabis Plants For Good!

Root aphids can cause some serious damage to your cannabis plants if not taken care of soon enough. Because once you start to flower it will become even ...

I gotta check what's left of my brain out of this for now but I'm still very interested in it & unfortunately I'll be thinking about it in the morning

Your flyer Edit: to me the body of your flyer looks like the body of the root aphid in that comparison picture to me

These were my last flyers I haven't had even one fresh flyer on designated yellow stickies in over a month

I'm not a bug guy but something as pita as these sound i think I would want to have something that just keeps working.

I have heard with nematodes and rove beetles they stick around till the job is done and harmless to the grow.

There is a certain place to get the nematodes but I don't remember.

If anyone can chime in on them as to why or why not just for my info would be awesome.

Shot in the dark....but you haven't seen ants around, have you? I'm seeing a lot about root aphids and ants.

This is what I have in my Amazon cart

At this point I'm leaning more towards buying these than chemicals

I cant remember where they come from but its a certain country you want them from. Apparently there are different types that don't work or work poorly. Idk

I have had good results with nematodes to control gnats, dunno about root aphids.

I want Chinese nematodes because I heard they come with a biologically weaponized virus already attached

You hear about the mysterious unsolicited Chinese seed packs?

The 14 varieties identified include common ones, such as hibiscus, morning glory and lavender. Still, experts warned recipients not to plant them.

Its actually regular aphids that ants farm. The keep them around for the honeydew they produce.

I have been reading about predator bugs now too. They were 3rd most effective (96% i think) after imid and botanigard in that greenhouse study.

Imid does not kill nemetodes I already learned. Or spidermites fyi.

well spawned everything today with A.cucumeris, N. californicus, P. persimilis. and A. swirskii. and some more ladybugs. I used a multiple prong approach to this problem. But I am going to try this pure crop 1 stuff.

$65 for a 16 oz bottle, I must be insane.

Outdoors in my garden, ants protect aphids from attack, and farm them for the sugary waste they produce.

 

[MIMedGrower]

Alright. I drenched the 4 flowering plants with another 2 tbsp./ gal. Botanigard, 3ml protekt and 5 ml foliage pro.

All have premature yellowing and some lowest leaf mag striping.

And all are greening up already.

No signs of bugs or movement during the second two plants watering just now.

Here is the worst plant.

And some others

I tried raising the ec last time bit had clawing and tips so we will stick with the 1.2 mix for now.

 

[chemistry]

The worst plant looks like its trying to finish flower, but its a bit early, pushing up the ppm's is what I would have done, but if that didn't work, then I might be taking a squint at my PH meter.
