Some would say neem oil. But If your still in veg, I would go with any vegetable insecticide that kills aphids.


Fu*king kill them

Make sure you get under the leaves really good.

spray the whole room and all your plants. Not just the affected ones.

There is a couple ways making a mixture of mild soapy water be effective.

You can also make a mixture with water and Garlic. Yes Garlic will deter aphids I added a couples drops of soap in as well. And lady bugs will eat aphids as well so if you see lady bugs on your plant leave em alone there actually helping not hurting there attracted to aphids.

My first thought was ladybugs but I live in the city and it's a pain in the ass to find some here. I will try spraying with garlic and soap, if that doesn't work will try some insecticide. Those are 3 plants, 2 are in veg but one of them is almost ready to harvest, so I will go for the drugs as a last resort.... hope garlic and soap works.

I sprayed it generously with soap and garlic... will see how it goes....

A little problem I have is it's a scrog like grow and I cant really get underneath the leafs, where most of the bugs are... this is the grow a few weeks ago (it is bigger now):

I also found this in my basement - will it do the trick, in case soap+garlic fails?

A winged aphid apparently. It's some insecticide, but I am afraid it will ruin the buds.

No dude

Don't f*ck around with all these home remidies. You are infested. Vegetable insectisied. If is says for vegetables , and it kills aphids use it. If not don't. And you HAVE to find a way to get under the leaves. Clean and serilize your area.

try some green light.http://www.greenlightco.com/products/_LiquidInsecticides.htm
the spinosad stuff is organic.its beneficial bacteria..its a soil-dwelling bacterium that produces a powerful insecticial toxin.no chems.
oh and if u use soap u want to test it on a little area of the plant first because some soaps can b toxic to plants.i know dr.Bronners soaps are ok
