First nightmare with root aphids in hydroponics DWC. Root Aphids seem to have a special love for cannabis! This will be the first video of a series discussing these evil insects. I will follow up with controll videos using products such as: Bayer Tree and Shrub, Pyganic, Other Liquid Pyrethrums, Nematodes, Azamax, SNS 203 ECT….

    Holy! ? I found a full grown one on my shirt the other day… I passed it off as a normal beetle haplessly traveling… This is BRAND NEW to me! I too live in Colorado (viva amendment 64). It's early March and found the beetle curious… But now I'm going to put on my boots and helmet and go in ready for war. Lol. I hope not… Cmon 12/12 cycle hurry and turn on! ??????

    How did the plant look while like this? I'm trying to determine lock out, nute burn, root aphids and or phos defic. I dug my roots up from coco and there's lots of roots and no flies. Any help would help thanks!?

    bonide has a systemic insect control that will wipe them out. just don't flower the plants that have been used with bonide for a few months. And clean the entire grow.

    it was a fungus nat i bet .. not to worry get sticky trap yellow paper . and hot shots flying insect killer . its a strip that you hang in the room and it release the insect killer .. . its much harder to get root aphids in soil . thats why i doubt thats what you have

    @meentree2009: Google "springtails" and see if its those. if so, they are harmless. If they hop they are probably springtails..Only thing i can think of that i've dealt with..

    @meentree2009 you guessed right. It as a might that feeds on the dead roots or somthing. Its soposed to be bennifical, but i still dont like bugs in my house, ya know?. THey came in botanicare Boss coco blocks about a year ago. still no negetive effects, exept for the headachs of having a bug there.

    @meentree2009 Awesome. It does stay in the system of MJ for at least 30 days, i wait 45 days before i chop anything that has been sprayed with Bayer. If you are in Cali, send your final product to Steep Hill Labs, they will tell you if its still in the plant.. I've seen samples that were were over 30 days since sprayed and tested positive. I ONLY use it in early flower, nothing past week 3..

    I watched this a while back, when you put it up. Remo did one today, and i was watching it. The aphids he had on film, were way smaller than gnats, and white looking to the nakid eye. They were brown under a scope. I jsut went down to my flower tent, because when i flood this one pot, i notice little white flee looking things, hopping around. I looked at them under the scope, and they look like a brown spidermite. a tad bigger. They arent spider mites though, they are only in my coco.
