How do these fuckers even get into your grow?. Ive never had root aphids as far as I know. From what I read it's pretty obvious when you have them. If its from otehrs clones you have to isolate and repot. I take all of the medium off on a clone and toss it. Rinse the roots and re pot in fresh soil. Ive battled mites, Thrips, leafhoppers, Gnats. I even had regular spiders crawling in the veg tents which wasn't surprising since any insect can get in. Once I started an IPM program regularly Ive stopped pest issues from being a prob. Our biggest issue in Cali is PM. That shit is everywhere. I like using my dry fogger with growsafe for this. If we give it an inch it will take a mile. Skipping a treatment spells doom lol.
Hammer what kind of dry fogger do you have? I’ve been thinking of getting one.

You would need a much better unit than mine.. I got a cheap one. I dont have a huge space to treat. If you do get one get a full face respirator to wear while you use it. Breathing that crap in cant be good. I got a Burgess 960..

:tumbleweed:noonin campers....been going over the fuji i got yesterday,and looking online for parts i might need to get it running again...so far it looks like a pair of tires,some new cables,which i probably have already,a new chain,2-3 cans of spray bike spray paint and top coat...and a wald basket...thinking of turning it into a flat/swoopy bar hybrid,probably take the front derailleur off and the largest chainring and run it as a 1x6...maybe getting a new rear hub and running it as a singlespeed....just have to see as i tear it down and see what's what with the bearings...

garden chores today,after a quick,hot,errand trip...

Thing about bicycles is you need the stupid special tools for 'em. I want to put my rack and bag from my old Trek onto my Bianchi Cortina. It's a real easy street-cruiser. Haven't ridden it in like a week...usually just to the store. Gotta attach the rack and saddlebag thing! Might get it done at Wheelworks down the street

yup,i have a bunch of bike tools that only do one thing for one specific brand of component...and just bought a bike that needs tools i don't have! i'm going to have to see if it's cheaper to buy the tools,if i can find them,or have the shop do the bearing work for me...at least the parts i may need are fairly cheap...

Hey got it done! They did it for free. :yay:
i stuffed my saddlebags with crap and water and headed to the square. Sitting near the train station high as a mammajamma and feeling good. Nice cool ocean breeze and around 75-80 with layer of clouds blocking sun. Not one cop car has come by me since I got here at the little Park in the square.

:good: nice! support your local bike shop!

speaking of which,they had new 6 speed cassettes so i nabbed one,found one tire/tube and a chain at walmart,should be able to nab another tire tube there when they restock...probably just go ahead and buy a new bottom bracket and have the shop yank the old one and replace it...should be able to stay under budget...
