Damn those root aphids! Haven't had 'em in a while (knocking on wood now!) lol. I have had a terrible time with the thrips the last two years tho. So many outside and I take every precaution but they find their way to garden and straight to the good stuff always. I swear they've got it out for me. I've read people who say there's no issues with them growing outdoors and they are mostly a nuisance pest, but they will kill your plants in quick fashion if not caught early and carry diseases a plenty. I lost 4 outside to them this year and I think they had tobacco mosaic virus from what I can figure. And the poke holes all in the stalks causing them to starve and snap. The adults are some nasty looking critters too, yuck..skin crawling just thinking about them lol. I have some in quarantine and using Spinosad to kill them and bottom feeding to try to keep the diatomaceous earth top dressing dry. Slowly getting a hold on them as we speak. Btw Sea, what's your favorite Sativa to work with? If you had to choose only one, I know it's hard lol so I'll accept your top 3 lol. Best, Irie.
