Was water my plants today they are on day 45. They started showing deficencies a Lil before week 2 of flower they look very bad I looks like real bad burn or deficiency but I never fed that high of ppm. As I was watering I was looking real close at the top of the pots and there were fungus gnats but I also seen some tiny little bugs barely able to see them honestly but they were slightly clear no wings. I'm worried that they are root aphids I know my plants in flower can't be fixed but I'm looking for prevention in veg that will know them I have read about bayer fruit and citrus or tree and shrub works would using it a few times in veg deter them also does bayer hurt or affect growth of plants after I used this in veg I would try and use caps og biowar through flower. Anyone have any thoughts on this

that sounds like root aphids, and they are a huge problem. They will eventually fly, but in their younger stages do not have wings. I do not grow in hydro and have never had to deal with them, but i have seen them and it sounds like that is what u have. At 2 weeks of flower it is still not too late to hit them hard with some pesticides (my own opinion). 6-7 weeks should be able to remove all traces of most pesticides.

That's the thing I'm on day 45 of flower. My plants look brutal man no bullshit worst I've ever seen I'm looking for preventative basically for my veg which will go in flower eventually I've been reading real good things about ogbiowar packs which Is awesome cause it's organic and also benefits are great not sure if I should try them first or hit em with bayer then do caps bennies

Check the roots to see if they are ra. You will see them crawling on the roots if you have them.

I fixed a bad case of aphids on a few of of my buddys plants by removing the plants and bathing the roots in water (soil and all) and then replanting in non infected soil. this will kill off the aphids but also most of your bennies so make sure to give them a good carb feeding
