Aphids Problem

[SmokeMonster32]

Dont give up...what makes a good grower is identifying the problem and solving it...look for a miticide, open the bottle and give it a wiff to make sure its not too abrasive for your plant. Anything that will burn your nose will most likely burn your plants (dont get eco-rid). Bayer garden insect spray works well...make sure you read the instructions

It looks like a mite for sure. Take pics of the underside of the leaf. They reproduce fast. In a couple days you can have a full blown infestation. Not sure if you're in flower now but if you aren't, do not go 12/12 until you handle them. Mites in flower are bad to deal with.

I'm 13 days into 12/12 ...They started when the plants exploded with growth but randomly I gave the plants a heavy feeding the morning before I noticed the specs on the leaves so I figured it had something to do with the feeding. 3 days later it was on new leaves and thats when I noticed it was bugs. all and all i'd say they have lived 5 or 6 days on the plant that I pulled out and the other plants still in the tent have maybe 5-10 leaves with these spots.

I'm two weeks into12/12 ...They started when the plants exploded with growth but randomly I gave the plants a heavy feeding the morning before I noticed the specs on the leaves so I figured it had something to do with the feeding. 3 days later it was on new leaves and thats when I noticed it was bugs. all and all i'd say they have lived 5 or 6 days on the plant that I pulled out and the other plants still in the tent have maybe 5-10 leaves with these spots.

You dont have much time to act. 2 weeks In 12/12 you will have buds forming. I never spray pesticides after week 4 flower. You can possibly burn the pistils.

If you chose to keep going get at least two or three miticides as they can develop a resistance to just one.

I like azamax, green clean and mitey wash.

Ya they are starting to bud now. I guess the miticides seem pretty concentrated so I'll treat them tomorrow and maybe again monday but then I leave for cali tuesday and at that point I need to hope they survive while i'm away...if not I guess I just chuck them and start new which would suck.

Spray them daily till you leave. spray crevaces in your grow all that...dont let plants touch each other..if you have petroleum jelly put some of that on the top lip of pots (they get stuck in it) then they wont travel. You can spray till you get trichomes, then you have to stop so the neem wont get trapped in
