Root aphids

Sorry. That was supposed to read "I know neem oil leaves a residual taste on Bud's so don't use it during flower."

I figured that's what you were meaning because I hadn't read any negatives just yet. Thanks for clarifying though!

Since my pots aren't that big, they dry pretty quick. Should I look for the plants to wilt before I start the treatments? Thanks for the advice all

 

[JimmyJames905]

No. Check with a moisture probe or simply lift the pot to feel how light it is.

Any more bugs show up?

I have a little of the H2o2 sitting in the drip trays, and bugs show up dead there for sure. Once we are dry, I'll follow the advice have received and then dry again and check. H2o2 was on sale at Fred Meyer today, lol.

 

[425jesse]

I think dry should
Happen tomorrow or Monday.

Perfect. When you get the chance buy some mosquito dunk and some Diatomaceous Earth. Good stuff to have on hand if you're a grower.

The bugs are showing up in the bottom because as the plant dries it dries from the top layer to the bottom layer driving the bugs out through the bottom and into your hydrogen peroxide solution

When I filled my pots, I put about 3" of clay beads, then the soil mix, don't know if that was good or not. I have pics of how things look in my journal, some leafs look weird on 2 of the plants. Maybe because of the springtails?

I have some DE, I use it for fleas when they act up in the summer on the pups. Great stuff. How and where do you use it?

 

[JimmyJames905]

Just sprinkle a little DE on top of the soil. I use it at start, at repotting and after flushing before my PK ramp up schedule. Basically anytime the soil is going to be wet for a long period of time.

I thought I read that DE was rendered useless when exposed to moisture. Is it still effective when wet too?

 

[JimmyJames905]

Apply it when the top layer is dry.

Howdy! Thanks again for the advice. I have treated, flushed and repotted, and things are going ok for 3 of the 4, however, I think I need to get some calmag into the plants systems. Does that look like it to you too?

How long should one wait towards drying out again before getting a dose of meds to these plants? Or do you think that is from the pests maybe? Cheers.

Flush with tap water and measure the ph of the runoff.
