Aphids??

I have never dealt with them so I dont really know what to do.

Neem oil + dish wash + water should work. Branded products should have instructions guarding concentration.

You DO NOT WANT TO SPRAY NEEM OIL ON FLOWERING PLANTS. IN VEGG IS FINE BUT NOT DURING FLOWER

What about lady bugs, nicotine spray, or fox farms dont bug me?


Like I said I have no experience with aphids.

Will Smite or Diatomaceous Earth rid the problem at this stage. My concern is that smite will have the same effect as neem oil or I can introduce ladybugs in a few days @OOrogbo @CoyoteCody @HornHead

thanks also for responding

If it is flowering already, then the ladybugs might be the best bet. I have reservations about spraying anything on an already flowering plant.

You sprinkle diatomaceous earth on top of your soil. Every first few of my grows was wrecked towards the end because of aphids and root aphids. Ever since I switched to coco haven’t had a bug problem since

Those little bastards love my pepper plants. I have hit them with Neem+ insecticide soap and it works well. Same for Capt. Jack. The problem is getting them all, they show back up if I don’t spray them every few days. So far they have not bothered the girls. One day it is all good, next day they are there. I actually watched one of the bigger ones spitting another one out its rear with a loupe. Bergman has a bug blaster I think can be used anytime. I have a little bottle but have not used it yet.
