I've had these so called root aphids for quite a while now... i've lost some plants and need these bugs gone.. they're infesting my new garden.. im all hydro and few soil...
There are small microscopic white/clear bugs with redish legs on my hydroton/roots/potting in the reservoir...I've been looking around and heard theyre root aphids and they also look like Bulb Mites (predatory and a pest that are impossible to get rid of)... so im hoping theyre aphids... I've been doing GoGnat dips every 2 days for for the last 5 days..
todays the 6th day and there are less and less aphids..
ive been using 29% H2O2 in the reservoir.. (ive heard mixed things about this.. about how it also kills the beneficials in the water.... any opinions?? Ive heard of breeding your own beneficial microbes instead and just clean equipment with H2O2 water...?!?!? hmmm...
but i have root rot in three plants as well and I have Home and Gardens root excellorator.. $80 .. works great... only thing out there that cures root rot.. (what i was told at the hydro store)
Yesterday I picked up some Organocide at Home Depot.. its a Organic fungicide and pesticide.. i plan on doing a dip in the organocide tonight for the 6th night because I want to change it up.. the organocide has fish oils so hopefully that will help..
If i see improvement.. I want to save up for Merit 75 to finish it off... to prevent these fuckers from coming back, im going to do a goGnats/organocide dip every week at nutrient change.. hopefully these bastards dont go into my soil grows.... knock on wood!!
any opinions??? I need to get rid of these fuckers and keep em gone so i can flower my babies... ive lost ALOT of time and money from these bugs.... I have images of my setup (veg room with an HPS light in it waiting for bugs to be gone to flower... and ill post pics of the bugs under 100X microscope... thanks!
**the picture of the bug makes it look like they are tan but they are really a clear/white with redish legs**
