Yeah, I gave it a shot. I think I might have wasted my time with the SNS203 maybe the 209 would have been better. I'm not sure if it was the soap, rosemary oil, or pyrethrin that slowed them down last time... I am hoping it was the soap or rosemary. Feeling pretty defeated, I just did a lot of reading... pretty sure I am screwed. Once they are flying they will start to lay eggs on the upper areas of the plant.
Blazinpurps wrote about what he did to try to get rid of them. Makes me think I have no shot. I think he didn't realize they lay eggs on the plant once flying and didn't treat his clones for that. Who knows, all it takes is one, they reproduce asexually. Here is what he wrote...
"I hate Root Aphids, I have had them for 5 months, I did 3 1 hour soaks 3 days apart of the root ball pot and all in an Orthene, Pyrethrin, Soap solution. I followed this up with two soaks of a Soap and Merit 75 solution. 2 weeks later I was in full on outbreak mode again so I decided to take cuttings and start over, I bombed my tent and wiped everything with bleach and soap. I sprayed my cuttings with Azamax before putting them into new happy frog soil that I watered with nematodes, it has been 3 weeks and I just saw new flyers yesterday these guys dont give up. I am not even going to mess with pesticides again just starting over ends up being cheaper, easier and faster to get going again in my opinion.
