Now maiden how are you going to shudder and not explain why?<shudder> Yes.
It is very, very toxic stuff. And with regard to mites, know that it *must* be rotated with at least one other miticide that uses a different mode of action (single site mode of action 'cides' are known to cause resistance, pretty damn quickly depending on the critter you're trying to kill). IIRC, it persists in plant tissues due to translaminar activity, but don't hold me to that.Now maiden how are you going to shudder and not explain why?
I take its bad, does it work? Why is it bad? Don't worry I don't use pesticides which is what it is right?
Ugh that's grim, so are you saying it's a lost cause by your experience Seamaiden? That's not what I wanted to read this morning lol.Don't fuck around with root aphids. My experience was that the imidacloprid products didn't work well at all, I had to use Triazicide. It's got a decent PHI, but I didn't take any risks with that. I ultimately lost every mother and cutting taken trying to get those genetics back on track. RAs just fuck everything sideways. Others may be finding better results now that we're all so much more familiar with these little fucks, though, and my experience with them was several years ago. Lost some incredible cuts to those little bitches.

Completely understand Seamaiden, I appreciate the feedback on your experience with the little bastards that's what I'm here for good bad or indifferent. ;)I REALLY hate to say that, so I'm not going to say it. But, be prepared for the possibility. Remember, like I said, it's been a few years for me and the total experience level of cannabis growers with RAs was limited. I wouldn't be surprised if others have pulled good genetics through the assault, but I'm not one of them.

I should add that I did spot these guys early when there was only 8-10 visible and I hit them yesterday with a H2O2/water mixture at a 1-4 ratio and added 1/2 inch of food grade Diatomaceous Earth to the tops of each plants soil . I did see a about 7-8 fliers/crawlers last night after giving the H2O2 and wiping everything down with 91% rubbing alcohol, but only 1 this morning. So I'm going to hit my girls again with H2O2 in a couple days, and I also bought some mosquito dunks just in case. So we'll see how it goes (fingers crossed), if anyone else has some advice on alternative methods to eradicate RA's any help would be appreciated.
So OGBiowar killed off your RA problem I take it? I just Googled it and at a glance it seems to be a nutrient line like Heavy Sixteen or Fox Farms. So did you buy a pack or use their brew recipe? Also I would have thought if I add a nutrient it would give the RA's something to feed on, and end up propagating the population instead of eradicating it.check out my other thread on how I ended my root aphid infestation of a 5500 sq foot warehouse:

OGBiowar (aka Caps Bennies) are three different packs of microbial inoculates.So OGBiowar killed off your RA problem I take it?
