whiteflies and afids

they seem harmless enough, once they grow in numbers the destruction to your roots is irreverseable

this will lead to massive yellowing of the plant

ya i meant neem oil sorry.....anyways get it as soon as possible and take care of it.... i had them and they nearly destroyed my plant...id say if i got the spray a day later my plant would have died...they come at it fast... if u cant find it today or tomorrow id say go order it online and hope it comes in time...this is what i got

It doesn't have to be dawn.

I grew a sensi star out on the deck here in HI and it had those tiny white soil bugs all through veg and flower, BEAUTIFUL plant. The bugs I had weren't whiteflies or aphids though, I deal with those on all my garden plants, these were different. It was my first grow and I had a container with transparent sides so I could see the bugs in the soil but it didn't seem to harm the plant.

SPINOSAD will blast anything back to where it should be.

It is a bacteria that kills pests by ingestion or by contact. Contact takes a little longer.

It is fantastic.

google it for some more info.
