Nearly ready to harvest...whiteflies pestering.

Appears my plant is just about ready to harvest. Problem is that I've had whiteflies for about 3 weeks. Very minor and I wouldn't even call it an infestation. I've sprayed three times during the same period, guess not well enough.

My question is I will likely be curing in my grow room. Is there anything I need to do to ensure the whiteflies can't effe the plant up? I'd sanitize the grow room before curing it, but don't know if I need to do anything special for the flies.

thanks in advance.

If the pest problem is minor, and there's no sign of damage yet, then you'll be OK to wait for a normal harvest. Once you cut the plants, remove the leaves that most of the larva will be on, and the buds will be fine. If you cure in your growroom, I hope that the light is off.

Thanks. Of course I'd be harvesting which would include clipping the leaves, and curing in the dark.

My first thought was that it shouldn't be that big of a deal and especially since there really aren't very many white flies in all and it appears the problem is quite minor.

Just wanted to make sure the whiteflies couldn't harm/disrupt the curing process with the buds.
