Tiny Black Bugs in My ROOTS

[Weezard]

you have a fucking battle ahead of you.

Those are root aphids and when as they mature they develop wings and start flying around. The only way that i could ever get rid of them was to clean everything out and throw it away after harvest time. I tried killing them off with Azamax and bebeficial nematodes but it only held them off for so long, and then they come back.

Afraid I have to second that.
If you catch them before they hatch the adult flyers, they can be killed with Imid.
But the adult flyers lay eggs everywhere.

Bayer tree & shrub is a systemic that protects your plants from the inside, but must not be used in flower.
It's toxic as all get out, that's why it works.
I dose my 'lings with it now as a preventative.

If you are already in flower, do not even think about using Imidachlor.
Just scrap the grow and wipe down the room and all your gear with bleach.
Then start over with a pre-emptive strike.

It's all uphill from here.
