Need help with Aphids

[JGrowing]

I am on week 4 of veg and I just got a mad rush of aphids that I cant kill. Im still very new to growing and I have only been sparying "Safe" bug spary every two days, with no luck killing them. I have been pulling all my plants out every two days to clean the room top to bottom. My room is a 8 foot by 6 foot room with 2 1000w lights. Fresh air intake with air filter, a 6" exhust fan going to the outside and one door to the room. What else can I try doing?

You could try lady bugs. Around here they sell them 150 10 bucks.
I use hotshot no pest strips in my room as of last month...I like....so far anyways ;)

Happy growing

you could get neem but it takes a few week before it works,but i used it with great succes in veg.
You can hose them away depending on how bad it is,they will normally die before making it back to the plant,or a pyrethrum spray will do it.

hope this helps to get rid of the little bastards.

For aphids, I prefer cedar oil. Earth Juice makes a product called GoNatz that works very well that contains cedar oil. Also, lining your growbox with a couple strips of cedar wood helps quite a bit with pest control as well. The other great way to get rid of your aphids naturally is like PGS420 said, get some ladybugs, could be difficult this time of year though.

I keep lady bugs in a mini fridge. i like to add a few once in awhile .But if the bugs get out of control the ladybugs wont keep up.That is when i use a hot shot no pest strip till bugs are all gone. it takes about 12 hours till your room is bug free
