what is a green fly?

if it is those green bugs with clear wings that kinda look like a big mosquito eat bugs.


But all of the stuff i mentions should kill anybug.

Wanted to updat you, they all pulled through, that SM-90 fucked there day up.. Gonna harvest in the next few days.. I'll take some pics later
Thankz alot Kung

Great guide Kung!! Really helped me alot. I am posting a pic of one of my leaves that I think has some kind of bug problem. This is my first grow so I have no idea what it is. I initially thought it was nute issues, but after looking at it (them - there are alot of affected leaves) thru an eye loupe, I think it might be infestation of some kind. I have SM-90 but haven't used it yet. When you foliar feed do your spray both the tops and undersides of the leaves? Thanks for your help.

Neem Oil is safe to spray on budding plants up until a week before picking. As for anything else use Azatrol, its the best on the market guaranteed and can be found at any hydro store or Home Depot. But dont use Azatrol on plants that are three weeks or closer to picking.

It looks like a nute defeciency from that small sample. If a lot of leaves have it, that doesn't rule out nute def at all. Spider mites eat holes in your leaves. I see it's hydro so I'm sure you're on top of ph and ppm, but look at the plant problem stickys here on riu cuz that looks just like some things I've seen there. I'd spray neem every few days even when you don't see bugs, especially indoors. SM-90 is just a strong neem. Definitely spray under leaves, as that's prime real estate for little sap suckers. But that def looks like nute def. BTW that stuff I mentioned, imidacloprid, will kill everything, just don't use close to harvest...and if you're that guy who buys only certified organic veggies I would research a bit. Imid is found in bayer, greenlight, marathon (commercial strength, hard to find).

Is Azatrol another systemic? Imid containing?

Neem won't control root aphids at all. It also won't work too well on stronger flying aphid populations, and it won't work on spider mites. It will kill a few, but it won't keep them under any kind of manageable control. Systemics like imid are the ace up the sleeve in these cases.

Here's how to use it to wipe out a population: use a teaspoon per gallon (if it's 1.47% imid like most are) with or without nutes, three times in a row, three days apart (coincides with life cycles). For spider mites I would do four doses. Water just like normal, slowly until you see a bit of runoff
