Bought this sprayed bottom of leaves with new bug spray i bought. Am 2 weeks away from harvest. And seen some plants had whiteflies!! Sprayed today try to avoid my flowers is this stuff safe to smoke up what do yall recommend.
Sprayed only bottoms of plant like leaves and poocorn buds. Tops probably got lil mist or close to none so you wouldn't puff the buds ? What do you use homemade sprays?
is not available and is so stated. Since conditions of actual product use are beyond control
Thanks for the good tips and yes only had like ome 2 plants that whiteflies got to. But just didemt know what to do when flowering. Ik youre not suppose to spray anything on them flowerimg but was like a ligjt spray on bottom of plants wouldent hurt . But definitely will do this or just prevent before budding etc. Kust lookimg for the best soultions to her these whote flies they double up in crew so fast if not taken care of . And luckey i know crop will be ok. But definitely lookong into different methods for next time. Learning experiences forsure.For late season white fly issues, I have used the mosquito coils that you burn in cabins and camping trips... PIC is one brand name. The smoke contains Pyrethrin vapor and works pretty well without leaving residue. I use a flea fogger for any bug problems that comes prior to late flowering or during Veg growth. The foggers typically contain Pyrethrins as well.
DE is also great, but I've not had much success with it on White Flies. You might want to consider rinsing your raw buds off prior to drying... white flies draw sap out of the plant and buds, leaving a sticky and sugary residue. When burned, it turns black, burns badly, and tastes poor. Rinsing gently won't hurt the buds but it will remove the sugars.
White flies don't seem bad, but they can make a great grow sub-par by screwing up the burning.

1.For veg stage ( early bloom (2-3 week )
Pyrethrum @ 5% ( pyganic 5.0 which is made by same people is 3x more expensive and it’s just the label diff, nothing difference )

2. 3-4 week bloom stage - harvest ( safe to use up till harvest )
It just needs a wetting agent to work fully , I even add regalia to make em tougher . great IPM tool on all 150+ bugs and the bugs don’t become resistant to it+ it’s safe to work with.

3.
Another product that works for after bloom week 3-4 ( so far my favorite “knockout mix “instead of flying skull of dr zyme where it’s just citrus acid and 2x the price )

How does it work nice if you spray during harvest.
The coils burn for between 6 and 8 hours. Depending on your grow space, you might not need to turn off your exhaust fans. The idea is to get it a little smoky in there. It shouldn't be so strong that it makes you cough or cause problems... just smells like a fishing trip in Canada! The coils can be burned as often as you would like... in a 12 x 8 space I burn half a coil once a day, or until I notice a sharp drop in critters. The coils release Pyrethrins when they burn, so they are pretty safe but they smell a little. Just about any hardware/garden store should have them in season, as well as sporting goods shops. If you are in Canada, they are more common than milk sold in bags.Awesome insights from experience there. How long do you do the coils for, and what happens? Do they die and drop off or just want to get out somewhere else?

And you say it works up to anytime durimt the flowering stage ? It wont affect buds xhecked it out quite pricey but am willimg to try if it works.Since you asked, both products in flower stage I mentioned are safe for 3-4 weeks of bloom- end of harvest safe stage of flower stage . ethier product will work , one is a biocontrol ( venerate xc) and cheaper for you per the gallon and is super safe for bee’s and you and won’t give resistance , where plant therapy is a contact killer and a dehydration defense against molds and bugs. Just read their websites and manual labels ( I gave em to ya )

Which of these have pyrethrin? Evergreen or the venerate and thanks for the tip yellow tape wouldve worked great for me domt have many plants. But when i do would like a faster way of getting rid of the pests. Thanks.If 2 weeks out, defoliate, no leaves no white flies.
I use yellow sticky tape and Benficial bugs to keep those buggers away.
Plant therapy ( lost coast) is safer bet if u obsoletely need to spray.
Pyrethrin is toxic and banned for use in cannabis.
PM can remove most of that prior to harvest if soaked well. And rinse in DI water and then dry, DI so that it doesn’t mold
