HELP! whiteflies

not a lot yet but need an organic way or something around the house i can make to get rid of those fuckers


thx for the help....if any

mmm..... whiteflies... is that theyre real name? i can figure it out.

shit i have no idea the whiteflies on the bottom of the fan leaves

how far along are you? is this veg or flowering? first thing's first - get some sticky traps asap. there are sprays you can buy too, but this all depends on where you're in in your grow.

its just in a closet with 6 flowering plants

how long have the plants been flowering and/or how long before you harvest?

mk man i found somethin in my book. you wanted an organic way to get rid of them so... whiteflies are atracted to the color yellow. to make a trap similar to a fly trap, take something like construction paper that is bright yellow, cover it in a sticky substance, like "tanglefoot". place the traps on the rims of the pots, when they are full of flies throw them out.

other than that there is a preditor wasp that doesnt sting people, 2 or more per plant will take care of it, but its really slow... theyre called Encarisa Formosa.

but you could use any kind of organic pest controll spray i guess.

also says pyrethrum works great... but not organic.

hey thanks alot im going to try the paper if that dont work ill get some pest controll spray

1 week into flowering

there is a product called bug buster-o that is a concentrate that you mix in water and spray on your plant. it will take care of your white fly problem quickly, but you don't want to spray shit on your plants if they're 2 weeks away from harvest. here is a link so you know what it looks like http://www.planetnatural.com/site/bug-buster.html. you basically just spray the upper and lower sides of the leaves once every 5-7 days and it takes care of the problem. you don't sound like you have an infestation (yet), so it would most likely take care of your problem with one spray session, but you would most likely want to follow up in a week with another, just to make sure you got those fuckers. from egg to adult it's a period of 40 days, so you want to make sure you got everything.

if you are close to harvest just go with the sticky traps and call it a day.

chingon's gotchu bro

1 week, sheeeeet, ain't no thang! spray away!!!! if you were two weeks from pull i'd say otherwise, but you're good to go.

Click to expand...

the sticky traps won't take care of the problem, only stall the problem for a while. you have to spray or you'll get an infestation. trust me, it's not worth it.

thanks alot guys sounds like just enough info to kill them ill try what i can and let yall know how it went im trying to get recent pics but my camera is on the fritzes

sticky shit was the only orgainc way i could find, and i have heard great things about it while dealing with spider mites...
