Don’t laugh! I had a friend die from that after a boating accident!

Dawn works best.

I always wait, I refuse to take bud until it’s ready. This year has been a helluva learning curve as you say…and I’m a 70 year old long time pot grower.

Yes, we are spraying the whole plant, buds and all lightly with the hp and water mix. Many people dunk and clean their buds in hp and water at time of harvest to clean the buds.

I’ve started using 1 part hydrogen peroxide 2 parts water to hit the aphids since we are well into flower. It seems pretty effective. Hope you have a great harvest.

I think it’s just the viscosity of the spray inhibits their moving about.

Those are aphids (not root aphids). Many approaches to knocking them down. You can spray a firm stream of water on them, once off, they can’t get back. Lots of insecticides, check local markets. Now starting flower, We are keeping them knocked down with a foliage spray of black strap...

Great, clones not autos. Autos you don’t wanna touch. Recommend putting a wire cage around the plant. Then, super crop the top and pull all of your lateral stems through the wire cage. Super cropping the top promotes laterals to grow. Pulling stems through the cage keeps them lower and gives...

Cannabis will grow to fill its container. A 6 foot plant can be 3 feet wide, or it can be 8 feet wide, all depending on pot size. I was going to recommend 100 gallon or larger for outside.
