I hate aphids but I also really hate spider mites which I am currently dealing with. I will be tearing down my whole room soon to clear them out. I will get my seeds started then after that I'll try to start new aerogardens after that time. I will be doing the purge method. It just works better for us given the outside garden and a little travel we have planned. But it is so annoying to have to do that. Fungus gnats are also bad and they also seem to like aerogardens as well. I feel for you.
Thank you! I would give anything to just have a few fungus gnats right now. Lol! I did have a few spider mites, but I find them incredibly easy to get rid of in comparison. I feel for you, too. Sorry you are ripping apart your whole room. But I totally get it!
have you tried any foliar spraying with Neem oil, Nicotine, Capsasin wash etc? and or any dry dusting with DE/dried ghost peppers "Capsasin"... a bit of work... yet I water and check them every day so just another step to mitigate them and havent lost a "Full" harvest at all from needing to chop out... as well I have noticed that the stronger the cell structure "BRIX" I can get a plant (=strong healthy plant) the less they are interested... like chewing bark... yet thus why always attaching to our lettuce first #2CentThoughts
Honeeeeey, get some ladybugs! I battled aphids myself and I got 1500 ladybugs for around $20 and they took care of the problem FOR ME! I still have ladybugs in my house here and there and it’s been about 6 months. We love the ladybugs because they keep the pests away!
@Kelly Collins if it were an actual room I would consider it. But unfortunately I don't have walls around my area, just curtains so no way to seal it off. But thanks! I do know that ladybugs works for a whole lot of other people, but then they complain about finding them all over the house both alive and dead. Me and my garden area would be on punishment.
Oh you too!...I had to remove everything and wait a month..they killed everything and nothing I did worked...no chemicals..Ditrimatious esrth... traps..zappers..nothing worked 😥
i had it happen to me this last november december. i mustve brought them to theindoor garden from outside garden somehow. ended up having to take all the indoor ones and throw em the compost pile out back, waited 2 months and cleaned the indoor room reall good. startin new peppers from seed now. good luck
I am new to growing indoors and after 30 days I got an infestation , didn't know this was even possible I thought only gnats were an issue. Have to start a lot of plants over again. I am ready this time 🥷🏾

Absolutely hate bug problems..., yuck! Hope you get them all.

I like that capsasin idea and nicotine
@@jqc5 gotta ease in on the Nicotine application and note how the plants/ aphids are reacting before upping strength of application... ( #My2Cents )

I say in the video why I'm not using ladybugs. And to add to that my husband would not go for it.
@@littletechgirl2 I know, I was just telling you from first hand experience that it is what saved my plants and worked for me.

My wife would absolutely NOT allow me to fight bugs with more bugs..lol
@@mikeschaoticgardening So you understand my plight. Lol!!
Can't wait to see your indoor garden growing again
Aphids! I thought I had an aphid problem but it was mealybugs
I hope they were easy to get rid of.
Oh you too!...I had to remove everything and wait a month..they killed everything and nothing I did worked...no chemicals..Ditrimatious esrth... traps..zappers..nothing worked 😥
Ughhh. So sorry!
@@littletechgirl2 it's been a month so I'm starting over..hopefully pest free!
@@mikeschaoticgardening Good luck!
I was wondering how you were doing with the aphid battle. So sorry that you are dealing with it. Are you using lost coast on them at all?
Thank you! And yes I have. That is really just a mix of different oils. But, I do use it in my spray. :)

😲 oh no. With my vision I would have thought it was dust 🤭
The white dusty looking stuff is the exoskeletons that they shed. So gross!
Do ants bring in aphids?
I suppose they can. But in my case I do not have ants at all. Ants usually go where the aphids already are and farm them.
Have you heard of Tanlin?..........may help
No I have not. I will look it up. Thanks! But, they are pretty much gone now. :)

Sorry to hear that! They are a real pain in the butt. I hope you get rid of them.
Dealing with the little jerks on my flytraps and sundews right now, which are the ones I really thought could defend themselves 🤯
Yikes!
so very sorry, but you have taken hydroponics to the maxx, and I love it.........
lol, lol, I see you love Aphids.
