Dude, that is awesome! Is there a bug identification thread on this site? I’ve never looked. Would be cool to get people in the know to chime in. As you can see from the above posts people are recommending some pretty nasty chemicals due to incorrect identification.

Some people may not be aware that at first the FDA did not allow any pesticide use on cannnabis… not oils, not horticultural soaps, not peroxide… nothing. Cannabis was illegal and treated as such – not given any consideration as a food nor smoking crop – and with no pesticides allowed by the FDA. It took years of fighting to get the FDA to allow the use of horticultural oils, peroxide, and horticultural soaps on cannabis but it was “illegal” before that. I personally prefer not to use synthetic chemical pesticides but they -are- allowed on food crops and are considered safe for food crops as long as their application is at least 90 days from harvest. They may not have yet been white-listed by the FDA for use on cannabis but pesticides used for fruit and vegetables may eventually be labelled as safe for cannabis too. A close look at tobacco growers shows they use these synthetic chemicals and sell their product to be smoked, so they is precedence and standing for these chemicals being used on food and smokeable crops… It seems to me that just because the FDA has not yet white-listed these synthetic chemicals specifically for use in cannabis crops is not a solid reason to reject their use – you just want to understand their persistence in your media and the environment and make sure you don’t apply them within ~90 days of harvest so they don’t end up in your stash.

When you do root drench, what exactly is the process?
What product are you planning to use as a root drench?
Avid 0. 15 EC Miticide Insecticide should be applied only as a foliar spray, per the product label, so we do not recommend using this product as a soil drench. It is always recommended to rotate active ingredients to avoid resistance.
