Pests!!!

[Diane11]

Hello again! Well, I knew it would happen at some point. Aaaand it did! I always check the soil specks on and under leaves to make sure theres not any sort of critter on them and sure enough the damn thing moved. There are not very many but then again, I'm not too sure. Not even sure what they are! What can I do to fix this fast???

No, nothing flying around, just the black bugs underneath the leaves. What I did was put some DE on them, and I'm hoping for the best! I heard this stuff works wonders!

Here's the pic of what it looks like now with the DE on it. Looks like I flocked em like a Christmas tree!

I really thought it went in the soil, not on top of the plants :woot::woot::nailbiting::nailbiting:

Inch thick layer of diatomateous earth on top of the soil after top is blown dry from watering.
If they aren't fully flowering yet you can spray them with azamax, concentrated neem oil, the sprayer spins to spray the bottoms of leaves.

Ok. I went to get Neem oil and they suggested the bottle I posted earlier. They said it's the same thing but works better. Thanks a bunch!!

Honestly, all I've been doing is researching on YouTube, Jorge Cervantes book is awesome, and this site I just joined. I'm just trying to find out from others what works best and the validation of the questions I've asked have been great! Kinda like yeah I read it but is this the best route??? Sorry for asking too many questions :( but I did ask for the truth! Thanks @fishwhistle

That's what I used
4 cap full per gallon and a teaspoon of hand soap with warm water

Hahaa! That's awesome! I appreciate it. This is literally my first time growing and I've been really trying to concentrate on growing something nice! But I can only do my best if I get your guys' help. Last night I panicked when I saw the bugs and ace hardware was closing in 15 mins, so I looked it up and did what I had to do! Lol but geez, as long as it's safe for the plants, THANK GOOODNESS!!!!!!!! But I seriously am one big goofball! Lol
