So I had someone bring me some root aphids in one of the plants that I wanted and I didn't catch them in time because I only sprayed the top and not the coco. Well I cloned that plant and tossed the whole thing out. Said fuck em all you know!

Then a week later I pull out a clone and its got the bugs on its roots (they are in ez cloner) I kind of laughed for a moment thinking that they might have gotten the best of me. I grabbed a bottle of captain jacks organicide off the shelf and poured four tablespoons into the ez cloner.

Needless to say, they don't like the bubbles :D hahahahahahahha.

Bugs are dead, plants are doing fine. A little soap doesn't hurt your roots nublet.

I meant not recognizing the aphids even after taking clones..

I bleached the room they were in but have never had bugs in my ez cloner before. Kinda hard to recognize something that is beneath the surface.
The clones didn't spread it to the ez cloner they walked their little asses over to it which was only 2 feet away.

Yup, sucks when family tries to help out and messes things up. I wasn't home when my little bro brought me the clones otherwise they would have never hit the lab. Come home from vacation to this.

what I am noticing in the ez cloner is that the captain jacks has enough soap in it that the roots are slippery. So they aren't able to cling to the roots, that to me means they will either die from the pesticide or from not being able to feed. The cloner is in its own tent closed up and sprayed the perimiter with safer soap. It has cinamon and other shit that bugs don't like so I am hoping they will stay right fkn there.

When I worked in a big operation we got these things and it was nearly impossible to kill them without using some chemicals that I personally wouldn't smoke afterwards. I didn't touch those buds after and quit shortly after. I have no desire to be around chemical pesticides and toxic plants that could potentially hurt others. I want to heal not harm.

No fucking around with aphids.

One should have a "hot" dip and quarantine procedure for incoming.

I usually don't accept anything from the outside world, I germ all my own stuff.

BUT than... I went on vacation and my brother watered for me and brought me a few "presents" only he didn't realize he brought me more than a few.
