Crazy bug infestation. Anyone seen this before?

[jondoughnutz]

I've been growing for a long time and I thought I had seen all the pests that can infest a marijuana plant but I have never seen this before. I'm assuming they are aphids at several life stages. Anyone know what's going on here? Has anyone seen this before?

OMFG, kill it with fire.

 

[jacrispy]

Yea I know it's crazy looking and blah blah. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone know what it is?

Either Aphids (You're so fucked) or Springtails (Not really an issue). But being that they're on your leaves, probably Aphids. Condolences.

 

[jondoughnutz]

Not fucked at all actually. I harvested the whole room and everything looks great. No damage what so ever and I don't see anymore bugs. I'm just curious if anyone has experience with these and knows what they are and how to prevent them in the future.

Right don't see many infestations this bad you should check your plants more thoroughly in the future you gotta hit aphids like right when they start or your screwed

 

[jondoughnutz]

So what do you use to kill/prevent them other than lady bugs? Not trying to have more bugs

 

[jondoughnutz]

And they were really only on a few leaves. I threw away the few nugs that had them on them but I'm not throwing away 5 lbs that look perfectly fine. Lol

 

[Afgan King]

Look it up never had an issue with them personally I know you use pyganic if root aphids but not a huge person for knowing too much bout pests

 

[Olive Drab Green]

Diatomaceous earth for the soil; predatory bugs, pyrethrin spray, or Tabasco solution for the foliage.

 

[outlier]

Check your medium, they're probably in there too mate.

Aphids are fucking cunts of things to deal with. I found pyrethrum works well on them. @Dr. Who has a good thread on here somewhere on how to get rid of them, yeah here it is: https://www.rollitup.org/t/root-aphids-the-final-solution.795544/
