So I checked out the front pots with a flash light an it looks like the bugs might of died with the combo of plant vitality and ortho spray. I'm not gonna take any chances so I'm going to still buy the bayer advanced, and probably some dr doom lol. I can't afford to let this harvest go. Weeds to expensive theses days for the amount I consume daily. The reason why I think they died is because out of the bugs I did see I only saw one crawling, the others looked like they flipped over into their backs. I also sprayed down the floor, cracks, walls, and some parts of the equipment. If you give em an inch, they'll take the entire room.

Ok so I've hit the room with 2 spray downs with plant vitality plus, and a spray down with ortho's spray. I sprayed the bottom 6-8" of the plant and all the top soil. Then I mixed up the nutes with bayers advanced fruit citrus and vegatable insect killer and drenched the soil each bucket got 3 cups of a mix of nutes and pesticides. I'll probably continue the bayer for the entire week to make sure everything dies, along with spraying the top soil with plant vitality plus. Hopefully the combo will work. So far the plants still look beautiful, no signs of stress or anything. I'm guessing the aphids havent done too much damage. I haven't been giving them the tea because I'm scared the tea may increase the bugs because of the molasses. So after this week I'll hit em with the tea to grow back any damaged roots

So lookin at the bugs and they seem like their paralyzed or slowed down alot. Then it looks like alot of them tried to clime out of the pots an on to the ground. Good thing I sprayed down the floors because it looks like those root aphids are everywhere, but all dead I took a microscope to them and no movement for a good 3 minutes. So I'll be coming in here daily for the next week and spraying the floors and top soil, ontop of the bayer in the water durin the feeding. Should kill all those bastereds within a week.

Lol, sittin in my room super high staring at this bug with a microscope, i noticed he was alive but the one next to it was dead. Then I noticed he picked up the other bug in the air and dropped it like 3 times lol. I was kinda thinkin he watched his buddy suffer a horrible death an he's screaming why!!!!! Lol

So I'm not gonna lie, a daily cleaning in the room is alot of work, but it really seems like the combination of cleaning, plant vitality, ortho spray and bayer advance is doing the trick. I dont know exactly which product is doing all the work, but I don't care cause these fucks need to die lol. The pre flowers on these girls look really nice too, they still look really healthy. No signs of stress.

I'm think of doing a soil run after this. Reason being is that I heard you get the best tasting product compared to hydro or coco. And I've spoken to some close friends about a product called avid, it is supposedly the magical pesticide, the plants barely take a hit and it kills them within 3 days with a wide variety of bugs. For spider mites I'll be using plant vitality still cause I've gotten the best results with that. But the price on avid is also very expensive compared to others. For the same sized bottle of azamax it was like 230$ or some shit. But to be honest if I can get higher yields and better tasting product, I may have to invest lol. Gonna do a little more research and what not before I decide for sure. Regardless my next grow will only consist of 5 gallon buckets. 2 gallons is cool but I'll have beasts with 5 gallons.

I decided to wait 3 days before I hit it with the bayer again, so the day after tomorrow I'll retreat it. Same things happening again though, more bugs falling out of the buckets an dying, I've sprayed down the floor twice so I don't think I should spray it anymore just go threw an sweep up the carcases lol. Bastards gettin what they deserve.. Lol I got like 7 grams to last me the last 7 weeks lol idk if I'ma make it.

HAhaha 7 grams for 7 weeks! Sounds pretty intense over there, I hope you get them all.
I don't know if this could be usefull or not... I read somewhere that you can kill off most pests by bringing the CO2 up to 15000ppm for an hour or two. Only keep it that high for a few hours or your plants will die too, but its supposed to be like 100% death count(stay out of the room obviously during that time)
You could probably do it during lights off when the plants arent breathing as much, and the venting doesnt need to be running.

I wish I had co2 equipment. I need to invest. After a few harvests I will for sure. Depending after the soil run. I wanna see what I can yield more with, soil or coco. Then of course I want to have a hydroponics system on the side running only the best strain. The reason for that is because with hydroponics I got my shit down like 100% and I know how to keep it bug free without having to worry about bugs in the coco or soil when I get it. Also I heard that even though it may taste better with soil. The actual quality of the medicine is with hydroponics. Anyone have any input in that? Anyone think there's a difference in qualities with different mediums?
