Hey guys 👊 I moved my ladies outside to the balcony full-time — now the Sour Diesel unfortunately has aphids -.- Has anyone had experience with soap solution? And when should I spray, in the morning or in the evening? Or multiple times?

Hi, yeah, I've done that often, you should use core soap or soft soap, shower gel or dish soap are not so suitable, they have other additional ingredients. Then take about 20-30 ml of liquid soft soap or 20 g of solid soft soap in one liter of lukewarm water. Optionally, add a little vinegar, but only very, very little. I would only do that if you really have a lot. If they are standing directly in the sun, then in the evening. But if you can do it early in the morning and there’s no sun shining directly on them for the next few hours, that works too. Or you can look for some ladybug larvae, they love to eat aphids, if you find some in the garden, they will go straight for the ladies. Good luck and kill those pesky bugs.

I'm part of the leaf-coat faction! It even fended off an ant invasion (in combination with coffee grounds on the soil). They now stay nicely on the chilis that I've offered them as sacrifices.

Ich würde dir empfehlen Leaf Coat von BioBizz zu verwenden da es die Pflanze mit einer Latex Schicht überzieht und auch gut gegen Pilze und anderes hilft davor würde ich mit Seifenlauge arbeiten um den Befall erstmal in den Griff zu bekommen anschließend dann mit leaf coat was auch wirklich sehr gut gehen Mehltau hilft was oft Outdoor ja auch ein klassisches Problem ist Lg und bestes Gelingen 👍

Take it. Neem oil, you can't go wrong with that. But don't use it during flowering.

I would recommend Neem oil. It kills the crawlers and protects the plant for up to 14 days. Try not to apply it directly on the buds and stop at least 2 weeks before the harvest. You need to dilute it according to the package instructions.

Hi mate, i had a lot of experiences with aphids in different plants. I use only biological product so i adivce you to use a solution of Demineralized water with neem's oil and potassium soap 10ml/L both, it should be enough. Give it ever in the night and if you have many insect repeat the process after 4-5 days. Good luck and happy journey with her!!

I sprayed mine with neem oil, I didn't dissolve the water and oil well because I didn't add soap, it's kind of repulsive to me because if I wanted chemistry I would take pesticides and fungicides. I mostly dissolved it in lukewarm water, 30 ml of neem oil to 3 liters of water. Just watch the foam a little bit because it doesn't dissolve well so you don't spray it on the plants because I did and they damaged my leaf a little where the spilled was, but it was dark so I didn't manage to see it then, everything else went well and I can say it's doing the job. I sprayed in the evening, but what I read can also be done early in the morning, before sunrise and while the temperatures are still lower, like everything else when spraying, but everything I spray, I spray before evening. I also read and many people told me that oil-water 1-25 works, but I followed what the manufacturer said and that's what I did, 30 ml for 3 liters of water. And it also said to add soap, but I just didn't want to. I couldn't find the oil anywhere, I found it in a pharmacy where they buy medicines for people, but if you find it in an agricultural store, it's sure to already have a solvent in it and you won't need soap to dissolve it better.

I haven't tried soap solutions, but I do like Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew for aphids (not sure if they distribute where you are). I spray down the entire plant, including under leaves--I do this once, wait three days, and then do it again. Neem oil can also work, but may require more applications. I would shoot for mornings, if you can. But for the first application, I always spray as soon as I see them.
