So recently I diagnosed my precious marijuana children with root aphids. They have now been destroyed. This was a pretty simple, despite all that I have read that states root aphids are nearly impossible to eradicate. (Root aphids are a mutation of regular aphids and sucks on the roots, diminishing yields but causing no visible signs of sickness on the plants, which made the problem last that much harder to diagnose)
Went to my local grow store in search of aid. Got a bottle of Bug Buster-O, which has pyrethrum in it @ 1.40% active ingredient. Pyrethrum is a non-systemic botanical insecticide derived from chrysanthemums. I watered all my flowering plants with it, and the vegging babies. To the vegging babies I added an extra product (bottled locally by my grow store) called TKO. TKO has garlic oil, mustard oil, citrus seed oil, neem oil, pepper and natural organic carbon polymers for timed release. The TKO I did not add to my flowering plants because I did not want to impart any foul flavor to them (they're two weeks from being cut down).
Anyway, this worked great for me and I thought I'd pass on the news. (Oh, yeah, I will continue to water with pyrethrum and TKO until I am 110% sure that not a single root aphid remains!!)
