To spray or not to spray, that is the question that's fckn with me.

Today is day 25 of 12/12.
I'm in Living Soil.
I had an Aloe plant in my 20g pot with 2 Maroon Baboon clones. I saw white things on leaf surface that I hoped were cotton or perlite ( I can b really delusional at times). Under 20x magnification I saw some legs.
The majority of this pots existence has been outside till now. The Aloe began outdoors. I removed the Aloe and have seen fewer fliers since. When this began I would shake a MB plant and watch as lil white fliers escaped. Now I only see a couple when I shake. I have seen a few white things on the 2 plants closest to that pot.
I sprayed agsil 16 and coco wet on February 18th as the lights went out. Saw a lil pistil damage as a result. I don't see that damage any more.
I believe the potential damage from not spraying is greater than any damage spraying will do. This time I would wait till lights out to spray. Dr Zymes at 1/2 strength.
I am also working to keep WPM away alternating Regalia and Garden Friendly Fungicide soil drenches. I think a spray could help in this fight. I am seeking suggestions. Any good/bad experiences from spraying in 12/12? Thanks for reading and all contributions you have made.

I like to spray my plants in veg all the way through week 3 of flower weekly as a IPM. Always at lights out. If I'm in flower ill spray 30mintues before lights out and turn off the light after I spray. I haven't had any side effects with a few different products I alternate once weekly.

Thanks for the response.

No premature pistil browning?

I'ma spray at lights out, half strength Dr. Z, agsil 16 and coco wet. Hopeful

I've never had premature pistil browning. Be sure to PH your Dr.Z spray before applying.

pH to what # ?

From Dr Zymes website:

We suggest using water between 70 and 98 degrees to increase chances of 100% success rate. Colder water will take longer to kill the insects. We suggest that before adding Eliminator to your water that you adjust the pH at 6.0 to 7.0. Do no adjust after you put the Eliminator in the water. We also suggest using in the evening to ensure that Eliminator will not evaporate and can continue working as well as decreasing any chances for phytotoxicity.
