Aphids On Young Plants

[justicebzwieg]

Aphids cluster on the soft new growth of a seedling auto and can stunt it before it ever hits the stretch, which is the worst possible timing. A strong jet of water knocks most of them off, and insecticidal soap handles the rest if buds have not formed. Ladybird larvae cleared a bad infestation on my balcony plants, and the release numbers per plant suggested on https://turboautoflowerseeds.com were about right. Ants farming the aphids are the clue to look for on outdoor plants.
