Home depot pesticide help

I need a pesticide for my plants and I need one that is balanced and can kill more than one pest.

Basically need an All in 1 pesticide, if there is one.

I have pests in my roots, not on the leaves yet.

Whats the best/safest thing from homedepot?

I don't care about organic or anything, I just need to nuke the rockwool to kill all the shit hurting my roots.

Still in Veg, haven't flowered. Pests are in very early stages and not numerous.

I need to nuke these fuckers immediately to control and stop an upcoming infestation.

Heres a link to my Thread regarding my problem.

i agree with the superman and cyat... organicide is repulsive dead rotting fish smelling...
I have used it as a fungicide.. it worked.
it would help to identify what bugs you have...
cant recommend a pesticide without knowing what pest/s ur trying to kill

Thanks thanks thanks!

Organocide is for outdoors mainly, hence the rotten experiences.

I'll get the bayer, and keep my fingers crossed it works.

I have larvae eating my roots. they look like fungus gnats but they don't. They are grey, aren't see thru and just on the roots. They hide from the light when I turn the rockwool upside down to inspect the roots that rooted through.

There are very few as today is the first time I have seen them. But I don't want to take chances. They are on every rockwool cube with roots exposed, maybe they are even within the cubes as well.

I have pics in this thread.

Apart from those tiny grey 1 mm long linear larvae on the roots I saw what looked like a mite walking around on bottom of the rockwool. It was definitely a mite and I'm not sure which plants have em or if they are even on all of them, if that was the only one I saw, because I only saw one, once, today.

It crawled next to a root an disappeared.

I'm still vegging using root riots for cloning, grodan cubes as a medium, and AN Ph Perfect Sensi Grow A+B. Foliar spray with Thrive alive B1 Green and recently been adding a bit of Rhino Skin from AN as a silicate additive since I don't have a 100% controlled environment. Currently it ranges from 75 to 83 F and 35% to 60% humidity.
18/6 cycle with 82F the norm with lights on and 76 the norm lights off. Humidity fluctuates with watering, and other factors.

Do pests problems cause your plants to drink more? They seem to be absorbing more water than before, but the grow rate has not accelerated and I have some weird leaves scattered randomly across the garden. Not one Foliar pest though.

Thanks!

So I used 55 Ml of the bayer advanced for fruits and veggies in 1 gallon. made 2 gallons using Distilled water.

There are tons of tiny white larvae on the tray after the watering and the waste drained.

Theres a picture of those bastards.

They look white against the tray and they are wiggling in the water.

What to do and how to do it?

I can't use the Bayer pesticide anymore, not made for more than 1 application per season.

If it doesn't work in 2 weeks and I ahve those bugs flying around or w/e I'll be getting my money back and gnatol w/ neem oil.

But has anyone else had tons of white little larvae show up from the flush with pesticides?

You need to get them under a scope and see how many legs they have. If they have 6 you have an insect, like a Root Aphid, if they have 8, you have a soil mite. Imid is an insecticide, which will kill FG larvae and Root Aphids, doesnt do much against soil mites. But that doesnt matter cause soil mites are 99% not harmful. If they are big enough to see w naked eye you probably dont have soil mites. And if you had lots of dead bugs after, I suspect a root aphid.

Also, there are times when Thrips will go into soil, albiet not often and only certain instars.

NEEM oil its organic, use a drench for soil insects, also rusts,mildews,fungus etc. In india neem is in shampoo and toothpaste. Neem will do most if not all pesticide fungicide miticide etc jobs. No smell, totally organic works like a champ. As with all organics you may not see instant dead bugs, but it will stop any damage, the bugs will die, just not as soon as the neem hits them.
