Here is the recovery of healthy plants after a MAJOR defoliation/strip/prune and subsequent Bug-b-gone applications after the discovery of aphids. The rebound and vitality of these plants is astounding. There is more new growth and vigor along with filling out and a way better green colour. These plants have always been happy… but never this happy! Only 5 days since the strip down!

Thanks. I can’t find any more bugs 
but I’m going to give them 1 more spray to be sure… this time with pyrethrin

I’ve never used that, just some diatomaceous earth and Safers 3-1. Pretty sure my infestation came from a donor plant that I introduced as well. Chalk that up for a lesson learned the hard way. The mites liked the blueberry muffin that I had.

I used the diamotacious earth onto of the soil on on the floor of my grow room. The hydro store owners suggested bug b gone over safers to me. Ive used safers in the past with decent results, but it tool me a while to trust it, lol

Aphids are one of the few life forms I feel nothing but satisfaction killing. They’re messy and nasty and reproduce so quickly. Even if they don’t kill the plant they ruin it. Who wants to smoke bug asses? ~Shudder~
Pyrethrin, diatoms and Safer’s for me. I never bring outdoor plants inside and I wash cuttings.

Used Rove Beatles with good success. They eat most soft body leaf chewers.

Ugh, I used ladybugs once… never again, there were so many eggs and larvae/nymph stage lady bugs all through out my plants even after 4 washes they were still in there… they ate all the aphids though

I used them outdoors enough over the years I have a decent yard population of ladybugs.

Yeah outdoors I’ve never had a pest problem. There is always a balance. Lots of lady bugs too, here. I have actually been extremely fortunate worh my indoor grows especially in the fall when I often veg outdoors all summer then flower inside. But hey, it’s the risk you take with unprotected planting

Not looking too bad, the B-inlaw said the conditions there were crap before the holidays them having season passes but looks like they improved a bit since the weird weather, i got a day up north over the holidays where it was +1 at the base when we went odd that it was -46 two days previous to that.

I’m planning a ski trip for February. I want to ski 5 mountains in 5 days. Scenario #1 was my original plan but I’ve skied both Sun Peaks and Big White. The rest of the Scenarios are mountains I haven’t skied. I want to do #2 the most, but I’ll probably stick to #3 or #4 this time

Well, we almost started 2023 off on the wrong foot… it was a close call. I smelled the burning plastic when I went put to check my plants this morning slightly moved my inkbird cord and BANG! The plug exploded and then kept burning on fire until I smothered it. This is the second inkbird to melt on me… the other one was nowhere near as bad, but its unusable. My heater is only 1000w… it says the inkbird controller was good to 1200w. The other inkbird controller melted with a different heater.
Close call.
