damn aphids!

went into my room last night and saw little white spots on my leaves with little moving black things.i learned there is something like 4000 species of these little bastards.im 5 weeks into flower and refuse to use anything from a can or spray.will ladybugs be cool?will they hurt the plant in any way during its sensitive state?

Lady bugs,preying Mantis,they all will keep insects out the garden.KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

Consider yourself lucky if it's aphids.... ladybugs will gorge on em. no damage to the plants at all

thanks for the info guys!

A bowl of molaases can help too. They head for that instead of the plant and get stuck in the molasses.

how big of a bowl does it need to be? i have a 5x2 grow space would an oz or two do the trick? should i put it infront of my fan???

so my boy highrise and i spent a good 3 hours cleaning my room.pretty sure it turned out to be spidermites and not aphids;(.we cleaned everything..the box of plants,the walls,floor,counter tops,ect.we found some organic spray for mites.anyone know anything about it?we also unleashed about 400-600 ladybugs.hope to see good results..

About half your ladybugs are going to get fried on your lights very sad but worth a warning.

Spider mites suck, sorry to hear. Good thing to clean out the enitre room once you have sprayed your plants off. I ues a mix of water, dish soap and white vinegar to kill spider mites and aphids. Good luck and get rid of them.
