Took of a couple of bottom leaves today as they were turning a bit yellow and i really didnt like the look of one of them. after taking them off. stuck them on a plate and had a poke at it and found a little caterpillar(B*****D) in and on the leaf.
but also found these white fly looking bug, dont think they are spider mites but i could be wrong.
Been wondering what was munching the leaves and im guessing there are some more on the plant but cant find the buggers.
Anyone know what these little white bugs maybe if not spider mites?
cant get a pic because a accidentally put the leaves on a plate on top of the cooker to see what i had there and they have been cooked (oppps)

My friend said get some lady birds?

Anything i can give my plant that is home made to get rid off pests?
plant has been on 12/12 for nearly a week and cant do anything to it till tomorrow now.

i read about making some sort of tea with cinnimon, cloves, garlic and italian seasoning.. boil this up.. wait to cool and add a tiny amount of washing up liquid then strain and spray on the underside of leaves..

anyone heard about this one?

you sure he didnt mean lady Bugs? birds are rather large. and would probably topple your plants.

depends on the pests. i have heard of a Apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, cayenne pepper combo. do not know what the exact recipe is so dont try it off what ive said. Mighty Was is supposed to be the best stuff on the market for mites. i have some kind of pests, i do not know what kind though. thought they were spider mites, they may be, but as of now they are just a nuisance. i have just been using soapy water. so far the soapy water has been making the pests run and hide, however, the soap wash does not kill eggs. only the live ones. it is starting to really piss me off too!! i need to eradicate them shortly. i have 5 weeks of flower left til harvest.

go to your local hydro shop they should have a few organic pesticides you can look at and choose the best one for your situation
