Whiteflies... 5 weeks into flowering.. +Rep

[QUOTE=OGKush00;2839326]So my girls are about 5 weeks into Flowering and I have noticed white flies and eggs under some of the leafs.. I have Neem Oil and read up the FAQs under http://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=...article&id=346 - was just wondering at the bottom where it notes to do a follow up spray of water.. does this mean directly after the application, a few hours, or after the 2 weeks of ending the their life-cycle. Anybody who has used this technique before and could reassure me on the process so I do not kill my girls.

I will gladly give Rep to those who can give helpful responses.


well iv been told that you should spray and then again 10 days later but havint tryed as i dont have bugs because i have a dubble layer of stocking over inlet and outlet

Hey Mate, I Had this problem, tho not in flower.. It's a big problem 4u as if ur plant does survive, thebud will not b consumable unless u get on2 it early.
Spray with Neem, then fresh water 3-5 days after.
Alternatively try some white fly traps or parasitic wasps.
GoodLuck, hope this Helps

Thanks you for clarifying about the follow-up watering.. that was my main concern. Although I had gave them their first dosage of the 8ml Neem oil + 5 ml soap+ liter of warm water today and after the water from the leaves had dried up i sprayed it again with pure water to ensure the stomata would not clog, but it does make sense to spray the treated water on the plants and let it sit for a cople days than spray with freash and then reapply the treated water.. Since you are trying to end their lifecycle by killing their nymphs.

As far as my girls surviving it is without a doubt(unless the soap takes it toll on them) as the infestation is not bad yet and i am scraping eggs and have already sprayed the plant.

Also i have not been foilar feeding much so my plants GREATLY appreciated the sprayage.... I think I will be good, possibly overreacted a bit.. but they are my babies!

Thanks again brother.

That's Cool Mate. I'm glad to help.
The Soap shouldn't clog, but if u were worried about it, then I'd just spray the fan leaves with a gud dose, and leave for approx 1hr, then simply wipe it down with a clean rag that is damp with clean water. This will ensure thorough treatment, but will not allow the soap to smother the plant so it can still Photo-Synthesis. (Just stay away from spraying IN the bud, unless u hav REALLY good air circulation). I'd hate to c u go from White Fly 2 Bud-Rot.
Cheers 4d +Rep.

Oh, I 4got 2 write - just wipe the top of the leaf. Leaving it underneath will be fine (4 the 3-5 days).
