full strength tea for a infestationI need a little help. I just found out I have root aphids. I run a rdwc system with a 10 gallon res. I already got some OG Biowar Foliar on the way. My question is can someone tell me at what strength I should run this to kill root aphids. I have read around and from what I saw it is one cup for 5 gallons of water, but it is my understanding that this is for prevention and I am dealing with infestation. Thank you!

Nice man thanks for your help. When I first got it I made three liters just like it says on the bag without making a tea and I hit em with it then dumped a bunch in my res. They're loving ita cup per 5 gallons will work great I usually use a 1/4 cup per gallon as a drench to treat...it's expensive that way but after a heavy treatment you'll see the results as they all turn into white puffballs...the good thing about the fungus is that as it eats the aphids from the inside, once it breaks through their bodies it makes spores and kills more aphids. Even so, it's still a good idea to re-apply again 4 days later and maintain that cycle at strength until you don't see them anymore, then apply weekly as a preventative. That single imid dose in veg will also do wonders as a preventative.
Where can i get that imidacloprid ? Does it go by a particular name or is it the sa biowar ?Bumping this thread again, I've had a lot of people asking me about root aphids and would love for people to use this as a reference. I still use og biowar, currently applying with each transplant (both in tea and mixed into media) and as a soak, 1/8 cup per gallon of water along with 1/4 cup diatomaceous earth. I rarely see root aphids so when I water it in it's used as a treatment/prevention in the rare chance I see a flier. These guys get out of hand fast, and most people dealing with them are past the point of infestation and have developed difficult to eliminate colonies. I would still recommend og biowar foliar pack as the go-to for root aphids, I know people who have eliminated infestations completely by applying og biowar and using a single dose of imidacloprid in veg. This stuff changed the game.

Mm... @We Solidarity IIRC there's a PHI of 30-60 days for imidacloprid, including for the 1.47% imid found in Bayer. I think the PHI is dependent on method of application as well as plant type used on. When I used it (once) on my cannabis I started a 60 day clock, Merit 75 was what I used. I think PHI may even be specific to the product itself.
