Quick update on what’s going on. NOTHING. These fuckers are just refusing to die. I’ve sprayed them with everything possible. Neem oil. Canna cure. Lost coast Plant therapy. Last one Ive even added to feed. I have them No Pests strips in the tent too that seem to kill everything but NO. These fuckers are still alive.

Try this mate https://sitem.herts.ac.uk/aeru/ppdb/en/Reports/11.htm

I believe this product contains the above.

Scotts Miracle-Gro Bug Clear Ultra for Flowering Plants 200 ml Liquid Concentrate Insecticide and Acaricide https://amzn.eu/d/0wF40NO

Make sure the active ingredient is acetamiprid and not pyrethrin as that will do feck all.

Good luck fella.

Think you need to take and and burn it if they are root aphids… sorry to say that. I never give up and fight everything but aphids are hell!

If you are going to fight on I’d be dunking the whole root ball in whatever chemical your using.

They are hard to kill buddy I kept those in pots when ever I grew new plants, long story how I found out they are actually good for roots and don't harm em...

Is it the little spider mite look things ? I'd so they are springtails and good for roots
