Weedeater_ZA Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Hi Folks, During a routine check tonight, I discovered some of my girls have Aphids on them. F%ck knows how they got in, but they are here. Question: how do I get rid of these buggers in week 2 of flower? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most guys would say if you couldn't prevent the problem then just blast some Complete 350SC on the leaves and also do a soil drench with like a 100ml solution ASAP. Many others will also say don't do it, because it's poison. Personally, it's saved a previous grow from a bad aphid infestation, and I can still see straight, so ja. Only had to use it once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden-Goose Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 350SC is a systemic that stays in the plant for about 80 to 90 days. An excellent product to use in veg, and part of my IPM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORGANinc. Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 No argument, there’s probably a ton on all the food we eat anyway, but obviously cause for concern. I think is good to follow directions to a T there. I used pyrol full dose for aphids, being careful in flower not to spray buds however never had aphids problem during flower. Maybe it was some type of mite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I have a feeling you're probably further than two weeks into flower if you're worried about residue on already developed flowers, so maybe just do the soil drench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
