You do have to decide. Sometimes better to save your work.
I would still suggest the DE on the soil regardless of what you do. 48 hours shit is dead and things are not coming back.

They are white aphids. When my cousin told me white aphids were a new plague out west, I laughed at him, telling him aphids arenât white⌠yet here they are, and he has them too. Many Growers have them. If they continue to be an issue, Iâll ask my cousin how to combat them for you. . But ladybug larvae eat far more aphids than ladybugs⌠they are harder to get rid of than normal aphids apparently. Probably a new Super aphid, like this new super powdery mildew, and the new super fucking russet mite. Courtesy of some prick in a lab somewhere probably. Thanks big pharma!

You better not be posting some hippy dippy granola funk bs! Get the napalm out and take care of your pest problems once and for all! Itâs a sure fire way to kill your spider mites and charlie! It has a four minute half life so your weed will be totally safe to smoke by harvest.

I feel like Iâm listening to an episode of animal planet. Learned ants keep aphids prisoner for their booty juices. Is this why most aphids are born prego already???

My connection out west is using ladybugs. $12.50 for 1500 in all grow stores. Aphids would be eaten in one night. His terrible infestation had 1-200 on each leaf. Each ladybug eats 20/day. Their larvae, which hatch in 3 days, eat 200/day. Good luck.

Ladybugs are not sustainable. Iâd recommend green lacewings, parasitoid wasps, etc.
Wild ladybug larvae are ok though.

Great options. Apparently tons of growers out west this year are using the ladybugsâŚthatâs too bad they arenât sustainable. Iâll check that link out, thanks.

Make sure you use the micronized version and keep in mind it is a heavy fertilizer for the dosage ⌠

So I checked out that podcast on ladybugs. There is only one wild harvested ladybug. The Convergent ladybeetle. They overwinter in the foothills of the SIerra Nevada mts in cali, where they are illegally collected as a colony, and sold at stores. Best to avoid these particular ladybeetle until we learn whether their population numbers are going down due to over harvesting, or going up from the plentiful food source they are released into, creating a great environment for having babies. I would imagine a wild harvested lady beetle brought in to say northern Oregon, would have a tough time making it all the way back to the Sierra Nevada.
