This is three days of aphids that suck the juice from the leaves. I had to use chemical control, Imidacloprid, this is synthetic nicotine and it works almost instantly to kill and repell the aphids and also leaf-miners, which cause similar damage. I tried spraying other products containing garlic, chili peppers, etc and also Neem Oil, but nothing worked, even when sprayed 3x a day. The little sap-suckers took a bath in it and kept right on sucking. If they destroy too much of the plant, especially small seedlings, they will die, so I had no choice but to use this chemical or watch my plant die. The plants will recover in a few days, so don't worry all you outdoor people.
