Ok, let me rephrase, nothing will wipe out aphids unless you use controls i.e throw a million ladybirds at them (in a grow room) spray them with Pyrethrum, which is the basic ingrediant for loads of bug sprays in garden centres. or at least organic ones. So yeh, nothing wipes out aphids completely in nature....or they would go extinct. I have never seen bottles of pyrethrum flying around naturally:)

I understand what you meant now. lol

Don't like how it says "controls" not kills. Haha

It's systemic in action to the bugs but breaks down very quickly (12-24hrs) .

So yeah it kills whatever is on the plant when it is sprayed but it can't stop re-population between applications.

I need to spray my Strawberry's once every 2 weeks or so and my Aphid problem is bad.




The thing with Aphids is they come from other plants, I have a tree in my garden that is infested with Aphids and those are what migrate to my Strawberry's and Basil each year.

Aphids usually only attack a specific group of plants which that specific Aphid species prefers to feed on (fuck knows where Ganja comes in. lol)

You're supposed to treat your affected plants and remove or treat the source of the Aphids too.
Otherwise they'll just keep coming back each season.

I can't remove the tree and it is too big to treat effectively or cheaply so I have to make do with treating the Strawberry's throughout the season and make do.
 
Funnily enough I have never had aphid problems on my mj plants in the greenhouse but they love a bit of tomato action. I've seen plenty of aants on my mj but they are never herding aphids on them. And Mo. I have heard you mentioning treating ants in your garden so you are actually also dealing a blow to the aphids when you do that....just saying:)

Nematodes released by the bazillion lol. Done my house plants as well....
 
You can get problematic nematodes. I know a football ground had issues with them. It was one of the Manchester clubs I think. I know one species really fucks up spuds.
 
well mosquito dunks is a myth. hot shot no pest strips it might have to be..... annoyingly the dunks have been less effective than my normal defenses so there's fucking loads of them about now.
 
I have not one fly in my main cab at the moment. I do have the odd one in the side cab....lets see what happens and if the nematodes make a difference. Not started with the mite predators yet, going to wait until the plants are a bit bigger. Bit cold for mites to be coming in from somewhere outside at the moment,
 
i found an escapee in the bathroom this morning. I've lost enough house plants to them already, they don't eat rosemary/spider plants or the succulents thankfully......
 
It's cheese. It's my third straight run of it but first in coco. I want to see if I can get more flavour in to it this way. I wanted to do Batmix soil but the shop doesn't stock it anymore. Growing in pots is almost like hard work. Filling the fuckers and then watering eight separate pots is a ball ache compared to just putting blocks on an NFT tray and filling a tank once or twice a week. I'm doing it this way so I can have bit of variety but I've binned three seedlings that were very pale and not really growing. I should hopefully be getting a GG#4 cutting and I'll give that a bash. I haven't heard a bad word about it. The only thing I'm concerned about is the stretch as I don't have a lot of headroom. I can get a chemical that restricts that though but you need to use it the week before flower
 
Cheers man, maybe i should get on the nematode's and shiz. or wasps. lol.

I've cut their feed/water intake again and gone back to manually squashing them which is getting pretty tedious lol
