anyone know? This late no way I can spray them. I plucked off most of the big fan leaves that were covered with them, but she needs about 10 more days and anyway certainly some are already stuck to the buds. just going to have to smoke them. Not like it's the first time.... they have to have some residual THC built up in their bodies?? Then rolled in resin....like a chocolate covered ant????
Ewwwww. lol. Hot shot pest strip. Releases a vapor that kills all bugs. Should solve ur problem in a jiffy.
lol agreed thats kinda gross.. but if they got thc in em.. i say dont think about it and dont look at your buds when your grinding em up.
dont taint your buds with any pest killer in flower expecially this late in flower...the tris arnt water soolable so just spray em off every couple hours for the next few days..should wash most of em off....peace az
i'VE tried washing them off in the shower before....doesn't work. once they're stuck, they're stuck....fuggit, I've smoked worse, just a shame since she got all pretty and purple
Aphids... Pick 'em off & stick 'em in a bottle of tequila! :laughing5: Can't be any worse than the worm.:eusa_shifty:
i got 2 worms in a bottle of mescal, maybe one more weekend and ...DOWN the hatch... maybe camp can send me a bottle of the GOOD shit.... that sucks about the bugs though... maybe you could use some safe pesticide, and water cure the buds to get rid of any traces of it....
Anyone remember the movie "Antz" from a few years back? "Hey! Let me have another aphid beer!" now it's.... "Hey, let me have another aphid bong" MS
garlic, chili pepper extract with sesame oil. its all i use when i get a breakout. the only time i get a breakout is when i havnt been on top of my foliar sprays which have sesame oil i put in them. ive come to accept the fact that dogs will always bring spidermites around my garden in this climate, and weekly treatments are the only thing that works, so i have to go all organic. works like a charm, and up untill i started using this method i tried EVERYTHING else!
I have aphids that occasionally find their way into my grorocks. I have used Neem oil for them. It is all natural, kills them instantly, and also seems to cover up the odor of my plants, but it is only effective for a week or so, which requires to spray down a couple times a month. The previous recipe works well too, with chili powder, garlic, maybe some powdered cayenne pepper, or lemon Joy as well. They never get in my buds though, they just like those tender little root hairs....
Are you sure they are aphids? Fungus gnat larvae like roots.....and fungus gnats are extremely common.
You are right on Cannagirl, I "meant" to say gnats, but I had aphids on the brain. The Neem works the same for fungus gnats as well as the aphids, I just worded it wrong.
Do urself a favor, ditch the neem oil treatments and add a layer of perlite on top of all your soil. The gnat adults will no longer be able to lay their eggs in your soil and therefor no harmful larvae. I could be mistaken but I believe the adults are not harmful to the plants.
Yeah, that's the reason I found the neem. I heard about perlite, but it will clog up my drip line, if it gets down into the gro-rocks. I am growing in a 3 Gal. Power Grower, but I will keep in mind for soil grows in the future.
Thanks talltrees, I didn't know that. Should be easy to find. I'll check up on that, and maybe try it out.
