[castout]

if you bring any produce from the store into your house, you got them...they are awful little things.

Does met 52 work with merit 75? I have the granular that i'm going to try this round as a preventitive but i'm also wondering if i can dose the veggers with merit 75 5ml/gallon with the fungus granule in my organic dirt.. will it effect the fungus or kill it?

I brew og bio war tea every 10 days. Found what I believe to be root aphids today in clones tray on roots and cubes. Dunked them in the tea. Came back couple hours later and they quit moving. So then I sprayed them with azamax and neem mixture. We'll see.

I do know the og hasn't knocked down the fungus gnats. Nematodes work best. I might try nematodes for those root aphids if I see more.

Little bastards are evil. When they showed up in my coco
grows I was really pissed.

No pest strips got them, but my grow space is not my living space,
and my veg box is vented away from flower.

Caution using no pest strips in the space you live.

Neem and crab meal....

works wonders for me

Is that something I can apply in coco hempy's?

I don't mind using chems per se, but if I can change up
regiment I would welcome it.

castout .... start mixing in powdered DE into your soils when you transplant also . it is sold as an insect dust in places like homedeot , lowes or garden centers . mix it in at 1/2 cup per gallon of medium . its made from shelled crustations ground into powder & it tears up the bodies of any soil bound critters & the plus side is its 85% silica which the plants love !!! it builds stem strength , prevents pests & diseases etc .... but it is harmfull if inhaled so wear a dust mask when using it !!!! i haven't had bugs in my coco sense i started using it !!!

this is the stuff I use ......http://www.homedepot.com/p/St-Gabri...-Insect-Killer-50020-7/203595834#.UobF7-IYZ-w

Just DE in a nice layer on top works well, I heard BT mixed with water a the 1-2 TBS per Gal work/helped, So i did it with the DE and haven't seenem since.. Before with i have got them was using just the DE and letting soil dry out more… Oh wait i was talking fungus Gnats HAHAHA sorry

 

[dansbuds]

Will work on both hillbilly .... they both start as soil bound larva .

 

[Lesterburnum]

I tell you what! I dunked my infected clones in the go bio war, straight, and the died!
I'm sure watering full strength with that gets them

When flyers lay eggs, you get larvae. Most of their reproduction comes from adult females giving live birth to already pregnant females. DE on the surface will only take care of a small percentage of problem. Good luck. -granger

drenching the soil with pure neem oil in the water works to get rid of RA and neem cake added to the soil stops them from coming back...completely eradicated RA from my organic grow this way....
