How low of a pH value can weed leaves handle?

With I had an infestation of these lil bastards, I hit them with 2 oz of purecrop per 1 gal of water, I sprayed the soil, the stems, everything..

I did this for 3 days in a row, by the last spray they were gone and I have not seen them since then..

I keep hitting with sprays around once a week now and they have still stayed away..

I spray stems and soil really good each time.. I go through a bit of that stuff but it's the only thing I can find that's safe to use in flower.
 
The ants keep bringing the aphids back bc they eat the aphids honeydew, need to treat ground for ants i'd say. I could be talking out my ass on this part, but i think diatomaceous earth around the plants will kill the ants/ keep them away.

I’ll get some DE pronto. Been using cinnamon like crazy but they seem to walk right thru it like some honeydew addicts!
 
As long as it's not from a garden center it shouldn't be too expensive.. You just need food grade DE, not the stuff you put in your pool filters.
 
home depot and lowes always have it back around the pest stuff, not sure if its food grade or not tho. Good luck op, been dealing with these fucks all summer in my veggie garden and I have yet to eradicate them. I've killed literally 10s of thousands this summer and they were still fuckin up my cucumbers hard. I did manage to get them under control for a week or so and they came back because I got complacent smh. Make sure when you do get rid of them you don't stop with the preventatives, at least for a while.

I have been spraying everything. Plant, stem, base, soil, all my other garden plants, compost, and even after I blast with the hose I spray the entire ground around the pots. Glad to hear it’s possible to get rid of these

You sound just like me this year lol.. I have been looking like a certified exterminator this year.. These lil bastards drove me crazy enough to get 3 different sprayers this year..

I got the dial in end hose sprayer "LOVE IT", I got a 1 gallon pump sprayer, and then the ghostbusters backpack 4 gal auto sprayer..

We are not feking around with these sap suckers!
