:sad:I've had the problem with aphids on my dope plants can't seem to find any on any of the plants but when i first got them i noticed a couple on the floor of my grow tent which is white so they stand out i thought they were spider mites and used insect and mite spray called maverick dilute in water then completely spray all over and under leaves then next day id go in and lift up the pots and there'd be a good couple of hundred of them so ill vacum them up water or spray them go back in abt an hour or two later and another hundered or so? this went on for abt 3 days then no more for a good week then they came back again (maybe eggs hatched they take 7-14 days) the mother plant oldest of them all is only one that just keep producing them it seemed to me like they cld hv been in the dirt cause when id water them an hour or so later heaps of dying aphids wld be all under the pot Ive moved mother out and been clean for about 4 weeks but yesterday i noticed a couple more so as they are just starting to bud Ive given them one more spray with the maverick as I believe you shouldn't really spray thjem once budding? any help or info on these will be much appreciated!

:hug::joint:Come on guys I've noticed heaps of people have looked at this but none of you tell me any of your opinions about the aphids??? I take it you don't often get aphids in the usa or the uk???
Im way over here in little old NZ But my plants are doing awsome 7 weeks into budding and they are really pumping so hopefully those lil buggars wont be a problem again This is the first time growing in a grow tent and the results are bloody premo:hump: best bud I've ever grown the tent is 1.2m x 1.2m and I'm using 1 x 600hps I think I'll be well over 1.5lbs yum I can't wait had a few taste tests and the last taste i had knocked me for 10 I got so stoned cracking up and shit haven't done that for a while lol all good I'll try get some pics of my babys bet I'll get some replys then!!!:twisted:
