how would i kill them with out killing my plants???????????????

I already mixed up a whole 4 oz bottle of Azamax and did a soil dreach to slow them down.

my understanding is you can not Beat ROOT APHIDs with out getting rid of the plants and bleaching the room.
AzaMax doesn't kill with a single dose, its a growth inhibitor that requires multiple doses for total eradication.

As for your life/problems... shit just doesn't get better on its own, you've got to make it get better. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, start making moves!

If you want to quit over some root aphids, you suck at growing and shouldn't have wasted other people's money to do so. Also, if that's real bubba, you're waaay off thinking you should get 4-7 oz. You can't be in much pain if you refuse to medicate all week because of aphids. You sound like a fucking drama queen.

I am growing in a Organic super soil and been seeing my plants acting like they had Root aphid for months but could never see any, I dont know how i missed them, because i see them now. I throw everything i had at them. and they are still there.

I am not refuseing to medicate, it just makes me sick to my guts when i look at my little jars of weed.

I mixed up azamax to the max dose and did a soil drench, the plants look better but there is still thousands of root aphid crawling in my dirt. they didn't die, just stoped eating for a minite i guess

why am i off on thinking i would get 4-7 oz ?????? Should i of got more? here is a pic of my last bubbakushgarden 018.jpg View attachment 2331190

yep I know, mutable dose's, i am growing in 10 gallon totes piled high and bowed out so it is like 12-13 gallons, it took a WHOLE $25 bottle of azamax to do one soil dreanch, now i am out of azamax, and have no money to buy anymore. Plants are fucked, I am going to harvest what i can, and scrap the rest. I am going to take clones of my good strains and put them into a didfernt room intill i can get my room cleaned. what i read No plants
+ bleach = future bontiful harvest. I wanna keep Flo, ace of spades, Jillybean, bluewidow, qurkle, Jack herer, bubbakush, chemdawg. so i guess take clones, clean them up, get more pestisides and keep them healthy and start over. I had a perpetual harvest set up 1 plant every 2 weeks. but I goota start clean, and do it better than ever, I am selling acouple of my classic cars to fund my new grow. I anit no Fucking quiter, Chanlage excepted :)

Now you are talking. clean that shit up, and go back at it. It sucks, but you are only allowed like 15 to mourn, then start popping beans and making calls for cuts.

I was pulling some decent grows while fighting root aphids. organics aren't going to kill these bastards, just knock them back. everytime I thought I killed them they came back. just use the bayer and save yourself some $.

Fuck that man, don't worry about what anyone says. Do what you have to do to be happy. Be glad you're alive because a lot of guys that went through what you did came home in a box. You made it through that shit, surely you can kick some little bugs ass. Toss the grow and start over man. Sterilize your room and equipment and start from scratch. If $$ is an issue I have some feminized NYCD beans, you might have to cull a herm or two but it's excellent smoke. I'll get you as many beans as you need. I also have regs of NYCDxLemon Diesel. I'd be glad to give you some. The buds on this strain grew as big as a 2 liter bottle...and super potent and tasty.

Yea do what you gotta do. But I will say this that if you keep at it you will beat those fuckers.

That being said I think your expectations of 4-7 ounces of bubba is way off escpecially if it is pre 98 bubba. I am not sure where you came up with that number but it is generally a lower yielding plant. One of the best smokes though.

Good luck and good health. Thank you for your service and anything we can do to help just let us know.

Makes me wonder if all these bug attacks, Aphids, Thrips, Spider mites, are from the DEA? lol if they can't arrest you, they'll destroy your crops!

The aphids were passed around by at least one clone vendor here in MI, most people ignored them thinking they were fungus gnats, and next thing you know it's like the plague.

A) I think you could have kept that comment under your hat there billybob420; least then I'd have to assume you're a dick and not just know it for sure. B) shit sucks and venting is venting and if you love to grow you will again. no question, a grower who loves to grow fails all the time but never stops because they love it. If you don't want to do it anymore then I don't think you are the kind of grower that gets to the 5oz dank plants. The guys doing that have had every pest under the sun before and collosal failure after giant blunder and here we be with dirty fingers still. I'm not knocking you I just think maybe you hopped in the deep end when you might should have waded out a bit first. no biggie; so do what you got to do and get at the shit from another angle. hit up you local shops for jobs maybe; care clubs too. they might help with some mentor shit if you got the equipment and set-up a steady knowlagable hand might get you going on it for some sort of trade deal. you prob could find a club that would help out alot for a set amount of pot for members. if you got a few months on your light bill before shut-off you can keep them at bay possibly or take the notice once you get it to DHS. I'm speaking from experience with brotherly love; you feel up against it and life is hard but you're cut from the cloth that doesn't fold. you got this Marine

I am just bummed that it was costing me $20 oz and now just the power bill is makeing it more than $20 per GRAM, and that anit including the full bag of dirt per plant or any nutruints. I seen i had a problem but could not figure it out, I was blameing Roots orgainc soil for my shitty yealds, the plants just got worse and worse. Before i was useing happy frog and ocean forest i was haveing great consitaint results. but than i swiched to roots organic and it's been shitty ever since. So i was thinking the dirt was messed up, but I guess it is my room that is messed up. It is weird tho they dont seem to be messing with the plants in pro-mix, atleast the pro-mix plants aren't infested as bad as the plants in Orgainc dirt.


Or do you think I could of get the bugs from the Soil??? all i know is i had great results before the swicth back in March. but it was also spring time so the bugs could of been sleeping all winter, than in the spring found a way into the room. I dont really know how i got them, all i know is it Killed my yeailds (not just hurt the yeaild, totaly made the plants produce one popcorn bud for each cola. I have a shit ton of dirt also, i hope it anit all junk

I am not one to throw blame but when i swicthed to roots organic my grow went down the tube, then I let the little fuckers get way out of hand, and in the design of my room it is a bitch to clean, i got plastic on walls and floor, but it anit sealed so I am sure i got bug under the plastic too, I dont mind speanding alot of time in the garden, but i just wasted my summer with some shitty plants. I went to a buddys today and he has little bugs also but his are differnt from what i saw (we dont have any magincation) his are white bugs in the soil, but there are flying around, i told him he mite not want to ignore them for very long. I am going out into the growroom right now for the nite, go do some work

Agriculture in general (even if you have a degree) will require trial and error. With this plant even more so because of all the different strains and the fact that for some reason bugs absolutely love it. Medical, your doing fine. Why? Because your learning. We all are. Get back on the gardening and start over, sometimes this is needed. There have been pro's who are well known for making breeds that have won cannabis cups who have battled worse, they kept going. You should to. mmmkay?
