Is more than one drench with Bayer complete needed for Root Aphids?

Are you in soil or coco? Chuck your shit if its coco and heat treat any new media before use. If its soil then throw it out and try your luck with met52. Don't use imid (Bayer). Its shit.

here is a good fact sheet on imid i found: http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/imidacloprid.pdf

i have only used imid once and found neem (link in sig) worked very well on RA at a high dose (12ml/litre)

The tolerance level for Imidacloprid in Hops is 3ppm. Most other edible foods are in the 0.5-1ppm level. Recommended rates of application usually result in 5ppm peak concentrations. The compound degrades fairly quickly in the plant vs other conditions. Its soil half life is 60-500 days. Organics make it stick around much longer

GAH

MET 52 is super cheap to make...about as much as growin mushrooms really (actually easier, but hey)....like $15/lb would be profitable...and yet we are payin $60/lb. Pot growers are why

If you want to know if your product is safe, get it to a lab like the other legit growers. I've used it in the past with 0ppm results. Not in flower though. I am unsure about the partitioning differentials within the plant tissues.

Phone number for a Met retailer out of colorado.. i think about 90 bucks for 2.2 lbs. + 20 dollars to ship anywhere in the states.

Basically i talked to him on the phone and he explained in great detail how it works.. It is not meant to treat a huge infestation. However, once you kill your mothers, veg, clones, and pyro bomb the shit out of your space, Apply 3 grams per gallon of the pellet stuff in your medium. Be sure to mix it thourougly, the safety guide lines call for mask and gloves, but he shared that it doesn't effect him to touch with his hands. Only stays active for up to a year, which means alot of us can get 4 cycles out of it.

Bottom line gotta kill the fliers, wipe your space down with bleach, wipe your equipment down, change ducting out, more bleach, a pyro bomb for good measure. THAN when all is gone and no signs of them, apply it to medium and he gauranteed they wont fuck with ur plants.

Personally im a little scared of the bayer tree and shrub. Does anyone know if its even safe to make edibles out of it? Is it safe to submerge as a root drench in flower assuming your just smoking the bud from harvest?

Imid is not safe for edible plants. -granger

Double dose of imid didn't do a damn thing for me.
