How to ensure complete removal of aphids from grow tent? How long can they live without plants? Is soap solution enough to wipe out aphids present? I would like to use chemicals but not available in ontario. Sprayed with soap 3x but never seem to get them all, esp in flower tent.

The amazing Doctor Zymes will crush their puny souls! You can even use it when your plant is in flower, with no worries. If you don't have, or can't afford Dr. Zymes, grab a few cigarettes and rip them up into some isopropyl alcohol. It will pull the nicotine out of the tobacco. Then, dilute it a little with water and let loose. It should give them nicotine poisoning in under a minute, killing them. Good luck!

Continue spraying soap but with a small part of vinager, and smashed garlic, take of the plant of the tent, clean then with bleach diluted in water, all your setup then let them dry till lost the bleach smell, to put set your grow again continue doing that and as the plage decrease, increase the time between the applications. The dosages of the itens should be found by you, as you use good sense will be OK. That is the non biological way.

Can you get some equivalent to Neudorff bug spray ? Or are pyrethrins not allowed there?

Yellow sticky traps work a treat and don't require spraying of buds you intend to smoke. It is illegal for commercial cannabis growers to use Spinosad on products intended for human consumption in Canada and Denmark, and in the USA, Washington, Oregon, Michigan, Montana and Oklahoma have also banned it. ...... which tells me something about how safe it could be, despite what others might claim.... (a quick google search will confirm this). Buying natural predators like Ladybugs might be another option.

Oof man I’ve been dealing on and off with aphids since last summer bringing them in accidentally I’ve used a lot of products and none seem to work thoroughly. I’ve got some resilient SOBs Athena IPM and green cleaner has kept them at bay to some extent tho. After flowering, I’d do a pyrethrum bomb in there tho.
