need help mounting campaign against aphids
permalink
So I have 6 different strains of beautiful cannabis. in my clostet. that I am very excited about they are about 5ft tall and topped, now they are two weeks into 12/12 w/no problems then a few days ago I noticed lots of little aphids in the water catcher under the plants. Fuck... I have been launching a a massive counter offensive against they consisting of neem oil in high dosages and an expensive organic pesticide called azatrol that got completely rid of my spider mites on my last grow which was my first. It helps a lot but can't kill them all.
I sprayed the canopy when I first saw them and drenched the soil with the azatrol from the bottom up. ( I put the solution in the water catchers underneath the plant and had the plant soak it up cause thats where the concentration seemed to be.) I waited one day and repeated, two significant processes. Each day since then I have only been able to find no more than about five aphids at a time. I stopped spraying this morning and tonight there where already 40 or so.
Im about to start using cayenne, garlic, onion, and what ever home remedy I can find. Has anybody had success erradicating them? anybody used aphid predators or nematodes indoors in a house? Is releasing 100 winged insects into an unenclosed closet, this seems like a bad idea but I want to beat them? What sprays or drench solutions has anybody had success at?
I need to have a multi faceted attack with pesticide, oils, predators, and what ever else...
Im not tied to organic products either if it comes to it I just want these bitches gone whatever it takes.
Spread a little knowledge my way RIU
