Hi All
It's been awhile since I have posted. I'm on my 2nd grow, two "20:1 CBD" and two "AK-39" in my 4x4 grow tent. This time, totally organic, no chemical nutes and all growing well on that end. How the hell I got aphids in my tent, I don't know, but I have been battling them for sometime. I use soapy water with neem oil and I have been able to get rid of them but then they return. It is not a heavy infestation and really manageable, but now I have discovered thousands of what look like dead gnats. They are growing in 5 gallon fabric pots and don't stay too wet for long. I mixed 1part hydrogen peroxide to 4 parts H2O and drenched the soil to kill any fungus gnat eggs in the soil. This is a wonderful way of killing them on contact and healthy for the plant. Here is my dilemma...I am one week into 12/12 cycle and as they progress, and flower, can I still use soapy water on them if aphids are present? How do you control pests without getting it on the flowers or will that matter? Any suggestions are welcome.
