I have been infested by aphids at first I thought that they might have been mites as I got a couple of clones off my nephew and he has heaps of them when i got clones i sprayed them with Maverick a few times seemed all good then couple weeks later i gave them all a good spray all over and under leaves the next day there was heaps of dead bugs all around the drip tray every plant had these bugs in a circle around them. each day I wld vacum all of the dead bugs up and clean out there drip trays then spray them this continued on over 1 - 2 weeks until bugs stoped showing up but then thy came back[i saw a cple] a few weeks later not many though and they were gone after 1 - 2 sprays all except my 1 mother which just kept producing them this made me think that there are in the dirt as whenever I watered the mother bugs wld come out with the run off water in tray. I moved mother out of grow tent alltogether to stop reinfection of other plants had no problems cant see any bugs on plants? they are 3 1/2 weeks into budding cycle and I noticed 1 little buggar walking along the white floor [stand out on white] as they are now in bud I knw I shouldn't spray them as will fuk with bud so I gav a little spray but only around pots, floor and dirt surfaces well as under sides of leaves the next day there was a good 100 or so around a few of them?? I dont want to spray again but any sugestions or knowledge on the subject wld b appreciated. [if u didnt fall asleep reading this novel lol]
