WARNING: Root Aphids. My bittersweet contribution.

So this was the first time running into these fuckers. Also my first time indoors. Didn't know what they were until it was far to late. If you're ever curious if you got them or not I saw them initially right after watering, or if I scratched the soil they would rise up to that point.

Botanigard and Og Biowar for the win. I now just brew a tea of them each in veg and right as they begin flowering. Never seen a thing move since.

Also Botanigard Maxx is something I will be trying next run. Preventive is way better than having to be reactive as then you're already a step ahead!

Great video! I had (and may still have) these. I did not see an actual bug for the better part of a year. Just continued mystery deficiencies and low yield. Until this last hot summer early heat wave. Their numbers exploded. Tons of root aphid fliers emerged but i couldnt tell them from fungus gnats at the time.

Tricky persistant pest for sure.
