Gnats are child's play compared to aphids not even in the same leagueI have never battled RA, but have dealt with Fungus Gnats quite a bit. If I catch them before total infestation my go to fix is a simple old school trick that I don't see mentioned much anymore.... Dawn dish detergent.
I don't have a solid recipe for this , but two or three drops in a five gallon bucket of water gets a mildly sudsy solution that I use as a soil drench. I used to use it in soil grows with good results and have found it works well in my UC system as well. In the UC I put five or six drops into the rez and then filled the entire system completely full, so full it overflowed the pods and completely saturated the clay pellets all the way up to the stalk. I ran this for a few hours and then flushed with plain water and watched all the dead bodies drain out. Refilled Rez with notes and went on from there with no bugs.
I also tried spraying white vinegar lightly around the top of my pellets... seemed to knock them back pretty well.
Not sure if that works for root aphids , but they are similar to FGs right?
Just my two cents on simple, cheap IPM.
Grow hard!
See above quoteI havent used it on aphids but used on a ton of other pests in tge home and garden
Lol OK! Glad ur done move onEveryone can see that ur planning on selling that. Don't care what u say, if it was for you personally there would be no discussion. No way you would ingest or smoke it. Total dick move and I for one hope you don't seriously hurt someone. Hope your conscience can handle it and if it can you are one serious POS. I'm done with this thread.

"Pyrethrin
Bug bombs commonly contain pyrethrin, a natural component of chrysanthemums. While pyrethrin is approved for use in organic crops against insects, you should exercise care when using it. It can irritate the skin and respiratory track and is toxic to bees."
According to who? You?Marijuana buds are not apples or cucumbers. The fog will go inside the.
Byds and trichomes.
Also the lungs are more delicate than tge stomach.
You're darn right me!According to who? You?
I agree but if you've never battled aphids and think that things that will work on gnats work on aphids I pray you never have to deal with themNo but you dont have to poison the plants with Raid fogger.
Its not the size of the grow that matters..but how u use it lmao too stoned rnNugteq said:

Lol when u wrote that and I read it I seen your avatar and swore u talked to me in a grumpy old dwarf voice lmaoAnd this is why i only smoke weed that I grew!!!!
Have fun smoking/eating raid!! rmfao!!
Hey bro, are you just really baked or just outta touch? Legit question because anyone that has been around a bit would never even have to ask if RAID is ok to use on either flowering or vegging plants.Ok so I should not have called names you are right and I apologise. Please dont start off with name calling because its wasteful and disrespectful and wont get u far obviously Golden Rule right.
Ok Yes deed is done. But Ill clarify and elaborate and maybe get some more feedback.
Last harvest is done. I run a perpetual garden but only 2 plants in room are 2 weeks away from harvest. They've never been sick have never been hit with any pesticides never needed. Have no systemic or anything in system but were in room when I bug bombed.
Have any of you posted fought root aphids?
One person posted about ladybugs and Diactamcous earth, ya that stuff doesnt kill flying form of Root Aphid doesnt even kill root aphids in general.
Glue traps work if you are trying to stem the infestation.
Im talking like eradication here people. No more chance of Flyers laying eggs period.
Well Ive eradicated them in my medium with Mallet 75 followed with caps tea and foliar concentrated however I simply do not want any fliers to lay eggs so I fogged everything to be safe. For next crop.
Raid generic fogger is same active ingredient found in Dr Doom. So back to question. Does dr doom or raid fumigator leave any residue on plants that could make buds unsafe? Rest my plants are in veg or 2nd to 3rd week flower
One person said to wash plants even in veg.
Can you elaborate on why this is never please? Thanks
They do call me "angry gnome"!Lol when u wrote that and I read it I seen your avatar and swore u talked to me in a grumpy old dwarf voice lmao
Here you go. As requested. Now ask yourself if you have any more questions.................Thanks. Nothing wrong with your opinion. Would like to hear from ag farmers tho!
