What To Treat Aphids With In Flower?

[Seamaiden]

I'm pretty sure I have a root aphid. Don't know how far in depth the species goes/varies but I will look further into it tonight.

Ah... FUCK. That is fucked, I'm really sorry.

Is this it sea? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002P...pectracide&dpPl=1&dpID=51aq7tZpapL&ref=plSrch

Yes, that's what I used.

Now, knowing all of this, I suggest you do a wee bit of research. Many people have had very good success eradicating these bitches using one or more of Capulator's beneficial concoctions (he's got three mixes, I can't recall which one has the microbe that will kill the RAs). I would not use the beneficials in conjunction with something like Triazicide.

Also, when you use a product like the Triazicide, or the more popular imidacloprid, you have started a clock called pre-harvest interval. For Triazicide it's 21 days, and IIRC for imidacloprid it's 60 days.

Yeah sea I already got all three of his packs. I was using them way before I got these mother fuckers and apparently the preventatives found in that shit just weren't good enough :(

 

[Offdarips]

Bayer tree & shrub @ 15ML per gal. Can use up till the first week of bloom.

 

[mojavegreen]

Root drench w azatrol or azamax. If problem persists repeat in 10 days. You will not be disappointed. 1tsp per gal my brother.

Clean up the room. Not plant debris. Remove any dead,dieing drooping diseased decaying or discolored leaves

Keep the fan on em they dont like the breeze. Go get em tiger

Gnatrol and sticky traps worked for me.

Yeah yellow sticky traps. Dont get em stuck to your beard lol

Or your hair!:mad:

 

[G gnome]

Lol i got those traps everywhere.
I got long hair and beard and too little space.
They are very effective though.

I'm buying these two.not sure which one I'm gonna use yet. Looks like the tree and shrub has About 3x as much imidacloprid as the fruit citrus and vegetable. The tree and shrub also has clothianidin at .37 as an active ingredient. The fact that the tree and shrub advertising a 12 month protection kinda freaks me out but this is what everyone on here says works. I really don't have cutting down the garden and starting from scratch again as an option. I can't be fuckin around with shit that doesn't work. These girls were vegged for 11 weeks on average and there health is going down fast. All they did was laugh at the azamax. Caps teas were watered in full strength last night and it seems like today they are more live than ever(the aphids). I am gonna wait it out till tomorrow to use one of these two Bayer products. Girls are pretty water logged at the moment they need a break.

If u got aphids you may want to try mallet 75 after you use the stuff from Home Depot spectracide.its systemic and will kill anything that bites your roots

 

[Tylrr420]

Yeah @GrowGod the mallet 75 has the same active ingredient as the Bayer tree and shrub. Only the mallet 75 is much more concentrated and a lot harder to get. I got the spectracide as well for a follow up. Do you foilar with either of them? Or just drench with both of them?

So if you're seeing Aphids in flower and want to take an approach that doesn't involve dumping chems in your pot then do this...

1:1:1 Topdress of Neem Seed Meal/Crab Meal/Kelp meal at about 1TBS/10gal container. Get a 5 gal bucket. Fill it with 4gals water, mix in 1 cup neem seed meal, 1/4cup kelp meal. Stir, aerate to agitate matter for 24-48hrs. Apply diluted to a nice color as a root drench. You will be introducing biology that will do a few things for you: fuck up their reproductive cycle and invite other predators that will feast on their eggs, live around your rhizosphere and protect your root zone from the dew. Repeat this tea soil drench once a week until they're done. Topdress every 2 weeks. You will kill them all, egg cycle after egg cylcle, without poisoning your garden.

What you will see: The neem drench will piss off the Aphids, maybe causing more leaf edge burn on some plants. Maybe none more at all. They will all fly up, try and find a container without the topdress and neem tea and have nowhere to deposit eggs and eventually die piled up in the corners of your rooms. This will happen week after week, until you kill them all.

Remember these are successful creatures, and reproduce quickly. So it takes 2-4months from my experience and a bit of dedication. But you got it...best of luck.

EDIT: I recommend as well, 1/4c pure aloe vera leaf puree strained and applied to the rootzone/gallon nice and foamy full of saponins and salycilic acid which will help your rhizosphere start bouncing back from the honeydew as well as piss off even more aphids.

If you use spectracide, make sure to flush your pots 2 hours later or your roots will get fried. All the adults should be dead within 2 hours of contact but the little nymphs mostly survive. In my experience it did more harm than good, but I left it in for 24 hours not knowing any better. I'm having luck keeping them down with caps foliar at full strength once a week, beneficial nematodes and predatory soil mites. Also I've been using fasilitor once a week for the past month to fight off phantom deficiencies and so far its working great. My plants look super healthy. All this stuff isn't cheap but its the method that has worked for the most of us.

 

[Tylrr420]

Yeah I went with the Bayer imid followed up by a spectricide treatment 3 days later. I'm completely ashamed of myself for using imid since people had informed me it has a pre harvest interval of 60 days. I did this treatment day 10 of flower thinking if I pushed it back to a 10 week flower I'd be straight. However this pre harvest interval may be true, imid has a half life of like some crazy anount of days. There is like a 200 page thread on icmag and most success over there seems to be a combination of orthene and rip tide(which I found after I already did the Bayer tree and shrub) I was so anxious to get these fuckers gone tho I went to the Home Depot and got what was available. I'm deff ashamed of myself now knowing the half life of imid. Some peeps on here say it's on a lot of non organic veggies anyways but I still feel bad for what I did. Plus the spectricide straight up smells like gas... I'm sure the plants LOVE that, however when I treated with Bayer, it was almost over night recovery, like POW WERE BACK. Two days later was even better so that made me feel a little less guilty. I'm not an organic guy but I don't like straight up Chems. Then yesterday I saw a couple fungus Knats and I just thought to myself I'm sure some apbids are coming back if FGs are. So last night I hit them with the spectriide and still have yet to come home. I just wasn't in the mood to cut down and start over. I will follow up in three days with sns 203 at double strength and from then on out it will just be caps packs and nematodes .

Stole this i posted in another Insects thread. I would only use natural beneficials in flower to avoid any residual chemical leftovers.

"Bill Murry, post: 1441573, member: 65308"]Get some Met-52 drench your soil then come back with the Nematode combo pack two treatments week or so apart. I also use predatory mites, lady bugs, praying mantis, and green lacewing eggs for infestations. I fought root aphids/fungs gnats and mites through last fall. This was the way i regained control of my environment again. Great preventive maintenance between or when in early vegs told to me by someone i greatly respect is to use the Attain and the Preclude in conjunction with one another. Do not use a bunch of chemicals then release live beneficial just as a reminder. @Capulator OG bio is the Whip as well.

I've used Bayer tree and shrub @ 15 ml per gallon one time dose worked well.
