  3. veg thankfully
     
  4. they are greenfly (aphids) easy to get rid of use a product like Spinosad .mac,

    PS spinosad will also kill spiders mite as well ,if you ever get them

  5. If possible take them outside and hose most of them off and then like mac said spinosad make sure to spray under every leaf

  6. I found Bonide-Captain-Jack-s-32-fl-oz-Natural-Garden-Insect-Killer would this work? Its like a 32oz spray bottle. Do I need to further dilute?
     
  7. TY so much! for replying so quick. The plant is only about a foot tall so at least there's not to much coverage area. I also read adding a humidifier would help?
     
  8. Can I add potatoes slices or egg shells to the top of the soil?
     
  9. yep cpt jacks contains spinosad so it ok ,,,,it organic too ,,,mac,

  10. They didn't have the liquid only the powder. Same brand Captain Jacks. How should I apply the stuff or should I get the liquid version? What I bought: Captain Jacks Deadbug Flower and Vegetable Garden Dust)
     
  11. Aphids. Simply the best there is. Spray ur plants with this every other day until they are under control 20201017_151057~2.jpg

  12. I have not used Lost Coast before, but I have a sample bottle from them. I got it too late to try it this year. Have you used it? Seemed kind of expensive for something that can be killed with a little soapy water.

  15. Hey Mr mac!! Man I cant tell how well thr lost coast works. I believe u can duplicate it. It also says u can add iso too for extra help. So I had hoppers 1st time ever. Aphids too. Plus one planr had a pm spot it looked like. So lost coast is very mellow. I had a great grower swears it kills pm. Anyways hope all is well. 20201101_070337.jpg 20201017_151057~2.jpg 20201031_074333.jpg

  16. hi @Papa Puff ..yep i know it does mate ,,bhut lucky for me ive never had trouble with Aphids cuz i grow inside ,,i dread more the nasty spider mites ,,but again ive been lucky only had the s,mites once in 20 years or more growing inside .....
    any how Papa hows things going with this bloody virus ,got a lockdown in UK ,,not that i'am bothered ive got me weed jarred up and cupboard full of cider ,,,so i am in a happy place...mac,
     
  17. Soapy water covers the way aphids breath. Yes it kills them, are there better things, yes. It also does not control some of the other things that Lost Coast kills. At almost $40 for twelve ounces it is kind of expensive. Looking forward to trying my sample bottle next year. I grow outside and have battled aphids using several products and they are relatively easy to control.
    Thanks
