How bad is the insect pressure? Are there a lot of them under the leaves? You can use insecticidal soap. I’ve never had to treat them, I have a good reference book that I can look up the least toxic way to treat, I can do that tomorrow. Someone might chime in here before me though...

Thanks I appreciate that! Yeah I’ve seen a lot of them I usually see them on top of the leaves and flying around I’ve been spraying the soil and Dan leaves with the Monterey garden spray aka spinosad which helped a little with the ones in the soil but now I’m seeing a lot more ( probably from eggs being hatched) I’m also 3-4 weeks into flower so I’m being real careful on spraying anything onto the buds that’s why I’m mostly doing the fan leaves

Thanks.. I’ll check it out! what’s the best method to spray while in flowering? I’ve also been using a garlic/cilantro/epsom salt homemade foiler spray.. it works good for spider mites but Not doing as great with these pests..

Bayer fruit & vegetable works on white fly and you don't have to spray you feed it to the plant very easy to use.

Dont dare using that shit.

M8 are you seriously recommending using Imidacloprid and in FLOWER!?!? thats a big no no my friend.

You dont have to spary this stuff becausse Imidacloprid is a systemic agent that is can be obsorbed via the plant's roots and spreads to the plant's tissue. If you use this, it means your gonna smoke it. some professional articales suggest that small amounts of the active ingrediant remains in the plant tissue for as long as 10 years, check it out.

I'd throw away my product before selling it if Imidacloprid was used, but that's me.

It will most definitely work though.

Spinosad is your best option right now IMO.

Bayer = Monsanto! Bleh to that!

Too bad it doesn't work on mites, do you know why it doesn't work on mites and why there is no insecticide that you can feed to the plants that would kill mites?

I try to stay away from stuff that acts systemically if at all possible..Green Cleaner is ok on mites and PM as well. Trifecta kills PM too and can also be used up til harvest. Plant Therapy is good for PM and kills gnats on contact. (also used up til harvest)

If these were my plants, this is how I would treat:

Prune the leaves away that have eggs and are heavily infested. I’d make a white fly tap too to catch the adults. Lastly, I would spot spray with green cleaner. This stuff smothers everything and safe up to harvest. At this point you’re just trying to get to the finish line. If this were veg, I’d would be different but since you’re flowering, it’s a bit more complicated.
