Aphids? Mealy bugs? I dunno...help please!

Not sure what the hell these little buggers are but I did an insecticidal soap spray and rinsed real good twice but they keep coming back.

I did a cardinal no no and brought two ladies inside to flower because nights are getting cold and then whammo! ... little white bugs...

Are these aphids maybe?


Some are clearly aphids but some are super white so I’m not sure..

I have same thing! Any advice?

Aphids for sure at different life stages, Id be buying lady bugs, they are one of the most harmless way of dealing with them, even in full flower they will destroy them and only them. after the lady bugs finish they will fly off. at that point i would wash your plants head to toe. then get a fan on them.

you could always spray them with insecticidal soap but i wouldn't if they were in flower.

Right on. Thanks for that. Yeah I grabbed a few ladybugs from outside and they started doing a good job then one morning I came in and there was lady bug shells on the floor...so I sprayed the plants again with an insecticidal soap and some diluted nutes...waiting for results

Any ideas what’s doing this?

are all the aphids gone?

that to me is classic, bugs eating your leaves, I would go to the store and get a bag of frozen ladybugs. that soap works but you need to be diligent.

I made the same mistake . Took some cuttings from my outdoor plants and brought aphids inside . killed them no problem with Go Green Botanics by Doctor Doom indoor plant spray . My plants were not in flower . Not sure if I would use it in flower .

Yeah the aphids are still in there, I soaped them yesterday and I’ll try again in a few days but I haven’t seen any on the new seedlings, I pinched the tops about a week ago and what came up was all gnarled and looked chomped on but I didn’t see any visitors. There are however quite a few little flyer bugs that keep hiding in the top soil on a few buckets, I figured fungus gnats or something lol fuck me ive never had so much trouble, just kinda spiralled outta control in like two days

Those are probably aphids in another stage . They get wings to colonize .

yeah i mean its saveable but id be doing those lady bugs in a hurry , they eat all bugs well most anyhow aphids being one of their favorite.
Honestly if their in the soil id do what i did this year and ive been bug free, mix in some cinnamon powder, no it wont make the flower taste like it haha. but its a natural anti fungal and ants/aphids anything like that hate the smell and it fucks up their exoskeleton.


I mix cinnamon in ALL of my soils for all my plants works like a charm, one whole lb bag per 20 gallons of soil
