Voting for cal-mag deficiency. I got the same prob. Going to the grow store tomorrow. I noticed this happens more often in coir.

Vote for cal/mag here too.

I just put some of my babies into 12/12 flowering. I am going to use your idea for prevention, because it looks like I am aphid free for now. I have used H202 before and it seems to be very plant friendly. The soap insecticides dried out and withered my leaves in my recent experience. I have...

Thank you Fresno. Ans hell yeah, they breed as fast AF. Adonis 75 it is.....

Thanks for your input. The mystery is...where did they come from because these affected plants never went outside...ever. Maybe they came from the bag of Fox soil I left outside. Tell me what you think; the aphids came from the soil, and crawled up into the plant via the main stem. To...

Yeah, I know that now, but in the beginning I didn't know what the fuck I had. I never had aphids in over 42 years of growing.

Well, gonna finish up on this thread, thanks to all that contributed. I destroyed most of the crop; the infestation was too overwhelming. Tonight, I noticed all this on top of my HID light. WTF?! I thought flying aphids were quite rare. This is a shitload of them! This is why I thought it...

Whomever invented that phrase was being very sarcastic.

Thank you!

Yeah, for sure, thanks. But this infestation did pretty much pop-up overnight. I check my babies daily. I read that aphid infestation is one of the more rapid propagations of bugs. I also need to wear my glasses when I check them. I tend to look at them with a naked eye, and now I realize I...

I'm going to blast them with shitty music. Britney Spears or Taylor Swift. That'll teach 'em.

It's unreal that you mentioned PM. I lost my most last crop to PM. I tried everything. As you can tell, I'm probably not the luckiest grower around :wall:. And PM in Colorado, totally WTF>>>?!

I just read this: "Can I use vinegar to kill aphids? Get out a spray bottle and fill it 1/3 of the way with distilled white vinegar and the rest of the way with water. This will kill the aphids and larvae on contact. Place a square of aluminum foil around the base of plants affected by aphids...

Anyone have a theory of where these aphids could have come from? They (the plants) have been in the house from day one. Could it have been from a bag of Fox Farm soil that was left outside? Could it come from carpet? I wanna pinpoint this so I can start my next grow, but if this keeps coming...

Thanks dude for your input. I'm not sure what my humidity is, but it's always very low here in Colorado.
