What are these little bastards

[FDL]

I found these today, they only seem to be on very few leaves and these two leaves were the only ones with lots of them on them. Do these pose a problem to my harvest, how should I get rid of them?

You need to get rid of those fuckers quick smart, pyrethrum as mentiond or make your own pest control sray at home - put a cup of vegtable oil in a jar then put in 2 table spoons of dishwashing liquid in the jar. Put the lid on shake shit out of it, once it's mixed get a spray bottle, put in 3 table spoons of the mixture and just under a litre of water in a spray bottle. Mix it up and spray it on the leaves top and bottom. The little bug fuckers will be dead in a few hours, repeat twice every 4 days and you'll be set. Organic, no residue in your plants, cheap as fuck and you can make it at home.

 

Cheers,

Can aphids negatively affect my plants? and harvest??

[BobGreen]

They will fuck your plants up like you wouldn't believe, your plants will be bleeding from the arse before you know it. You need to fix the problem now or you'll possibly loose the lot.

Dont worry that leaf was an exceptionally bad case, there are only a few leaves here and there and they only usally have a few on them. I went around squishing as many as a i could and sprayed them with some organic spray my mum gave me. Hopefully that does the trick, any good recipes that I could use to make my own organic spray??

not for long FDL

organic sprays, the one I gave you earlier will work very well, or go and pick a kg of lantana leaves get an old pot and simmer them for 15 mins in a litre of water. Let cool and strain, spray on plants top and bottom of leaves.

 

Another one, grow your own tabacco. Harvest 60gr of leaves let it soak overnight, strain off the liquid and spray on leaves top and bottom.

 

Both sprays are poisonous to people and animals rinse out the bottles and don't use the pot you boiled the lantana in for cooking food.

 

You can also grow and make your own pyrethurm spays but I am sick of typing

 

Cheers,
