Ok my plants been acting funny, well long story short My Plants got Root aphids :( and it sucks, It not only makes me want to STOP growing, but it was such a huge disappointment that i haven't smoked since last week, I got some jars of weed, but I dont even want to smoke it anymore............... I put everything i had into this grow PLUS more than i had. and all for nothing. so F-ing bummed,

I guess it is time for the next saga in my life. I guess since i anit smoking anymore I can LEGALY operate a motorized veicale again, and go out and get a job.

When ever i seen my little jars of weed i worked so hard for, and spent thousands of dollors to get, it just makes me sick to my stoumic... and right now I have that feeling,


I will grow again, maybe next year, if i get a job makeing good money, just acouple plants from seed. I am hating life right now, but maybe it is for the better,

Just had to vent!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Why throw in the towel though, don't you think you can beat the little buggers? Hope good fortune finds you soon.

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.

I haven't personally dealt with them so I can't speak from experience, but I'm sure there maybe some good home remedies around. No offense or dis respect, but if I had a couple months (from the looks of that pic) I'd be tempted to wipe it all clean, bomb it, wipe it clean again and score some teens. I bet we could find you a donor or two around here.

I would take a room full of spider mites over 2 root aphids any day, they are that bad, they eat your roots and are tough as hell

start over. The plant in the picture is waiting for you to throw it away. It may suck now but pop some beans and start again. Try to find local growers who might be able to help you ouit with babies and/or see if they need any trim work done or what ever else your health will allow. I know it isn't as easy as it sounds but the faster you get on the move, the closer you will be to full jars again.

that picture is of a bubba kush after 9 weeks of flower, i harvested to left side of it already. it should of produce 4-7 oz of DANK, but it did not get over a few grams.

AS for me being a loser with out a job, that has to borrow money to grow. well I guess you are right i am a loser, I was in the USMC for 3 years before the mrap i was riding in hit a IED and flipped, they are built strong but that dont matter for the people inside getting thown around in it whille it is rolling. I could get disiblyity and welfare, but I guess I am too big of a loser to draw off the system. I just need something to keep my mind ocupied . and growing was my Excape from it all, but i am am broke in more than one way, I would love to get a job, but in my conditon the only jobs i can get would requier a drug screening (if i have a script for pills I can have them in my system) .


It is crazy i haven't smoked all this week, and i dont want to, my buddy gave me a 8th two weeks ago and i still have atleast 3 grams. I need to do something. if i stop growing/smokeing, i will go out in the world again and give that a try... than maybe later on I can get some seeds and stat all over again. I am not going to grow weed if i anit smoking. I am just really feeling down in the dumps.......

Keep fighting my friend, everything happens for a reason. And there is all ways someone somewhere worse off.

I have had a tough couple of years, lots of cancer in my family :( broke up with my ex after a 11 year relationship cause she cheated on me, I recently lost my best mate (my dog) to cancer. I had to leave my job that I actually loved, becuase of a dickhead boss. I have been struggling for cash ever since and I have three kids to look after.

I honestly feel there is a force that works against me.

So I sold my much loved camera kit to start a grow op, :( so I dont have to worry about buying the stuff anymore. If this dont work I'm going to have to sell my road bike :(

Giving up weed for a while is a good idea, it will help you think clearer and help you get back on track.

all the best and dont give up.

keep your head up man,I was into vicodin real bad for 2 years and it almost robbed me and my family of everything I had,I hit bottom so hard I was thinking of suicide,then this doctor took a chance on me and perscribed me suboxone and it changed my life around.That was 2 years ago and iam now about to buy my first house and have money in the bank and everything is 100 times better,my point is everyone sometime or another goes thru what you are maybe not exact same situation but the feeling of helplesness and dispair but it will always work it self out in the end.JUST REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU HIT BOTTOM THE ONLY PLACE TO GO IS UP.

Aw man what a bad surprise. Sorry to hear that news. Cool to vent too. Teach us what you learn. How do plants get those things and how do you prevent it? All the best!

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.

Set backs suck. So do quitters. Kill the fucking aphids, grow some plants, and pay everyone back. What do you need, beans, cuttings? This is a michigan grow forum, let's grow.
