Best way to get rid of aphids as a starter?

PietertjeOpDeLijnstarted grow question 2 years ago

Hi there! So I recently started with my first grow and I'm really new to all of this. I started out with a plant outside, The Aphids must have come with the plant once I've switched to indoor growing. I ordered myself some Spinosad. Any other suggestions or tips?

Dilute some Neem oil in water and spray it on your plants. Tops and bottoms of leaves, stems, stalks, everything. You can also use diatomaceous earth to really mess up aphids. It's like razor blades to them and dehydrated them after they get cut to ribbons. I hope these help you out and good luck!

Spiders Are larger spiders a concern? It's spider season in California and hard to eradicate any possibility of them building webs around. I took care of the spider mites early on and they're not an issue. Just curious how aggressive I need to be able other spiders.

Flies on plant What are these flies that were in my space bucket? First thought was fungus gnats, but the soil is bone dry (actually forgot to water yesterday). There is nothing on the underside of the leaves either, so doesn't look like aphids.

Root aphids in flowering?What I initially thought was a nutrient issue I am now convinced is a root aphid issue. Noticed a few small white bugs crawling on top of the soil and I don’t know how to get rid of them without harming my plant. She’s in 5th week of flowering so I don’t think neem is ideal.
