Thanks for checking this out. This bug just appeared on one of my plants within the last 48 hrs, seems to be quite a few of them on top of the leaves. I don’t think they’re aphids (unless I have 2 types of aphids on this one plant). Please advise! Would love some tips as well about controlling the aphids. I have a healthy outdoor grow. Companion plants include yarrow, marigold, sunflowers and lavender. I’m a cpl weeks into the flowering stage. 3 of the 4 plants are very healthy. The one problem plant (a sativa) has been dealing with an aphid infestation (now slowly being brought under control). I introduced ladybugs to the garden which is helping. There are still aphid eggs on the underside of leaves though, and a cpl ants along the stalk. The ladybugs are sticking around, fortunately. I’m reluctant to use neem oil now because I don’t want to deter the ladybugs. I’ve read mixed reviews about if neem oil affects them or not. Thank you!
I am not very helpful with pests....as I haven't had to deal with them yet....THANK GOODNES......have you checked this out yet? It MIGHT help ya...it might not...... Complete Pest Guide - Cannabis Pests, Bugs & Viruses | Grow Weed Easy I also very quickly scanned my book and didnt see anything resembling what you have.....someone will be here in no time with a "spot on" response I'm sure.
Thanks for the response. I have checked that link out many times lol. I thought it might be a springtail, but my gut feeling is that it’s another type of aphid, or an aphid in a different stage of its life cycle. However, they don’t look like the other aphids on my plant, and they don’t move at all..
Adding a cpl more pics. You can see the difference b/w the aphids under the leaf and these... thanks!
