I may have aphids...?


These guys do not sit still for a picture from my cell phone they look like blurry blobs, but they do fit the pear shaped description, I think. I have more pictures but they’re not much better than these.

I put Bergman’s bug blaster on it and it’s three sisters in the tent, and a short blast of Jack’s dead bug. So far they’re only on the one shown in the picture.

Just wondering if I’m dealing with aphids, or some other uninvited guests…

Thanks!

that’s what it looks like to me from the pics. I didn’t have much luck with Bergman’s product and taking those out. this stuff worked really well for me as a problem solver. I try and be proactive and use it once a week to prevent them as well. I think 8 bucks at Walmart :+1:

Jacks dead bug works good too plus you can use it during flower without damaging buds

If this is an indoor grow try ordering some ladybugs and release them in you tent, natural and no chemicals involved! Or find a praying mantis. Both love to devour aphids and other small monsters.

I’ve heard of doing that! But I also used to do house calls, and I remember being in a house that was infested with ladybugs, covering the ceiling you know that kind of stuff!

I am growing these little seedlings inside for now, in a little 2x2.

Very interesting option!

I’ve had two bottles of that for a while, going through them very slowly. But they don’t say specifically aphids. Who knows? I sprayed a bit on yesterday, and these are very tiny plants, so I definitely don’t want to overdo it.

There appears to be slightly fewer today, but that could mean anything…


Sorry, in one of the pics the humidifier was running. Cell phone pictures, unfortunately.

Thanks!

No harm in having any around. I’ll snag some, thanks!!!

Aphids are usually pretty stagnant in my experience, but I won’t say they never move.

That said, whatever they are, some insecticidal soap or somethin’ will do the trick.
