As the title says I have aphids on a couple plants in the room. I have 2 grows going in the same room. I have 6 small solo cup plants that are about 3 weeks from being done and large hydro dwc Super Skunk. Both in close proximity of one another. A couple of the small plants are displaying damage from the aphids in the form of small white dots on the leaves. The Skunk is not showing any signs of aphids and is in mid flower

Anyhow I sprayed the 6 plants with Captain jacks insecticidal super soap. Question is, should I spray the big plant? I’m assuming since their in the room I should.

Get some diatomaceous earth. I bought 7 kg and mix it with soil. It'll kill them...lady bugs work too.

I have a preferred product already. Captain Jacks. It works great! I’m just wondering if the other plant not showing any signs of Aphids should be treated as well

Root drench with Gnatrol. It will kill the larvae.
Sticky traps for the fliers.
A few drenches will be needed. Their life cycle is pretty short, so it only takes a week or two.

Those are not aphids. They're mites.

Those are spider mites, not aphids.

Good luck!

Well I went ahead and treated the large plant too. I’ve had these mites last year outside on some plants. Sprayed this a couple times on them and it killed them off. So hopefully this does the trick again. Getting it outside to spray it was a bitch Probably going to do it once more next week. The more grows I do the easier it is to spot problems early on
