Root aphids

Looking to see a cheap way to cure root aphids I'll have pics tommorow its lights out

They look like this ...also I've seen gnats so could have more than 1 issue here

I am 6 weeks today into flower 2 plants of 8 strains effected one super silver haze ,1 Skywalker kush, fertilome ultimate soil fox farm 3 part nutes , 1000w hps 300w mars hydro, 240w CFLs in back...these plants are in the back of room and have least circulation....

Ok so here are mine, open to ideas and exprerience it is the two plants in the back right corner

try nematodes

Have you seen the root aphids? When you water your plants, monitor the top of the soil for about 30-60 mins. You should see them coming up for air after a while. I had them outside last season and they are absolute cunts of things to deal with. Next time I am going to incinerate the infected plants and the friggen pots... lol

What's worse is there's over 15 different types of aphids around here according to my state's department of agriculture. The ones in my roots looked exactly like this:



Before taking any drastic action mate, I would confirm first that you actually do have them. If you do, a pyrethrum root drench or two should get you through the remainder of the grow.

Where I get them.lol I have used h202 for gnats and larva before which I'm sire I have now although I can't find any larvae just see 1 or 2 gnats but I know there there ....seems like I have a phosphorus deficiency but I'm feeding higher doses of pk....not sure if I'm locked out but don't have any reason to think I would be ...I have been running low nitrogen ....I also flushed just water last feeding when I started seeing burnt tips then resumed a normal feeding low nitrogen again ..using tap water haven't added any calmag my waters high ppm ...just weird shit going on back there lol...not my first rodeo tho thanks for advice

I've brushed my soil around I don't see anything I want to let them really get a good dry before I water them again at least try to get them uncomfortable and moving around so I can see better what I'm dealing with...any one know how ssh likes to feed? I've noticed she hates nitrogen but cant get enough pk

I'm not saying I for sure have them.I'm asking if the damage looks like a root issue maybe aphids amd what u guys use for a cure

.I titled this thread shitty I apologize

Yeah next time you water just monitor the top of the soil for a while. If you have a major infestation they'll be running rampant after about 30 mins. Easy to spot, they are white/light coloured and you'll see the little fuckers moving around with your naked eye.

No probs mate. Your girls are looking good IMVHO

Looks like you've had a bit of salt build-up before and this has probably caused lockout. Root aphids will cause stunted growth and random deficiencies. The little pricks feed on your roots so it can be quite catastrophic if badly infested. I personally would not worry unless you can see them. Pull them through otherwise, they look nearly done mate. Nice work!

Try Safer Soap. Dilute as recommended for a root drench. The KOH, or "potassium salts" will kill any and every bug that comes in contact with it. Its OMRI listed too.

Thanks everyone appreciate the feed back ur awesome ..I know u can use dawn but anyone tried palm olive I guess we went dollar store this time lol

Or is safer soap a brand lol
