So unfortunately I think I have may have gotten some Root Aphids in the plants. I noticed something moving tiny in the coco and then realized it was crawling. I moved the coco around and noticed a similar amount of them. I thought they were spider mites at first but they definitely look more like the baby root aphids from here:

And seeing this video, it's definitely Root Aphids:

Tonight is the first night I am noticing it and am only seeing it on 2-3 plants that I inspected. I am running on really no sleep but I wanted to get this up.

Is there anything I can do to get the upper hand? Reading the threads it doesn't seem like they do permanent damage? I would like to stop them as much as possible.

I just started week 6 today of harvest. I have never dealt with aphids before :(

Gave the plants a big root douching of SNS-203 tonight. Hopefully that will take care of the crawlers. Flying sticky traps are coming tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to get one more feed in before I start flushing.

Hi oneshot, hope you will find a good way how to deal with them, but if you are already in week 6 of flowering i do not think there is much to do... have you got the lower leaves yellowing strangely like with the mag deficiency? Hope your plants will finish well nevertheless, good luck!

Nope I haven't noticed anything like that. If anything I might have some Calcium burns at the tips of the leaves. All of the lower leaves are green except for a few that have some burn on them.

AWWWWWWWW MAN!!!!!!!! FUCK !!! I am so sorry to hear that you've got the fucking cooties man...

Do whatever it takes to get rid of the little pricks else they will really do a lot of damage to the plants.. Son of a bitch...do you know how you got them?? Just hope you can contain them before they get embedded all over the place and then you have to fucking bomb everything and start from scratch.

Shit....right around the damn holidays too ....:(........

Well, for what it's worth my friend.


Merry Christmas

Anytime I am too far along in flower and gets bugs I just use the "squish and squeeze" method. I smoke ALOT of weed and sit there and kill anything I see moving with either my fingers, tweezers OR even sticky tape works.

I can't handle spraying or bombing my girls as I know I will be inhaling that later on down the road and isn't something I want to do no matter how well I flush yada yada.

Hope you get everything ironed out and are ready for WAR with those lil bastards!

I've pretty much accepted that this grow, there is nothing I will be able to do. The nugs still look like absolute fire and with only 2 weeks left, I think it will be ok. I hope the SNS-203 douching last night helped. My fly traps came in today so I am going to hang them when the lights come on. I don't see any real damage to the plants but I don't know how the roots are looking :(

I definitely have been crushing the little fuckers when I see them. God damn UPS fucked up and my Tanglefoot didn't arrive yesterday.

:) Root Aphids aside, I am really happy about these plants and under these LEDs. It is night and day compared to my old eShine panel. Hopefully the GPW is decent!
