I also wanted to add. I am not sure if that burning has to do with it being organic or not. I think pretty much all of the pesticides are harsh on the newer growth. All three of the ones I have used so far have cause some burning to a certain degree, you have to take it easy when spraying it directly on the plants, they will not like it if you use too much. Like pepper spray to us, it'll burn all sensitive areas.I'm totally with you on that, Sorser. I will never use EcoSmart again. I did not have such a horrible experience but the plants certainly did not like it. And Yes! The yeild! EcoSmart plus root aphids equals 1/3 of what I would normally end up with.
Well... it just so happens that I already have, many times. Have you tried using the search function? It would be nice if people did that first.
There only one way of getting rid of bugs and pretty much anything is going to kill your young plants and damage your new growth.Hydro store guy just thinks they are recyclers placed there by the coco husk manufacturers.

After about 6 months of trying this how I figured out a sure way to get rid of creepy crawlers.
1-First thing, order some neem or a similar insect killer.
2-While you are waiting for the neem, take everything out of the room that is not necessary for growing.
3-Once you have emptied the room, begin to clean everything with some sort of light disinfectant or a light bleach solution, of course, be careful of your plants or anything that touches their roots
4-When you receive the neem, order something called Botanigard, powder or liquid, does not matter. It is expensive ($90+ per Lbs.) but well worth it. Use the neem according to its recommendations and spray everything in the room except the plants. You should spray the lights (while they're off and cool, of course), tents, closets, fixtures, outlets, switches and anywhere you feel they could have laid eggs. Be careful, some of the sprays will stain. Mop the floor with a solution of neem
5-Wipe everything you've sprayed with a clean cloth
6-Continue to use the neem as a spray, wiping after every use in the room until you get the Botanigard
7-When you receive the Botanigard, order something called Acephate 97UP (this stuff stinks of of high hell and your mailperson is going to hate you). Use the Botanigard with plain water as recommended in coco, hydro, or soil and also use it to spray the plants. You can spray Botanigard freely, it does not damage your plants, even seedlings and fresh cuts. You should spray delicate growth lightly anyway.
8-Repeat the Botanigard treatment 5 days later.
9-When you receive the Acephate 97UP use as recomended, two treatments in 5 day intervals will do
10-Wipe everything you initially had in the room with a solution of neem and place back in the room, spray everything in the room (except the plants) with neem and wipe.
11-Use Botanigard as prevention for future infestations, watering with Botanigard twice during veg and twice during flower.
Follow this and you will rid yourself of those crawlers. I know it sounds like a lot of time and money, but it works! It should take you about 30-40 days.
I have some slow crawlers on the moist spots in one pot with coco, will biowar get them? It is in a 2 gal pot of coco with an auto flower in it inmy veg room. I first noticed some gnarled growth on one leaf,mthen noticed the crawlers. They disappear when top dries but they are still under the surface and reappear when watered. What is my best attack? @Seamaiden
I sprayed with neem to little effect, should I try neem root drench?(azamax)
