hey
i notices there are a lot of tiny white flys all around my plant
i discovered this after coming back on a 6 day trip.

i heard you can like mix soap and water and spray the plants
how can i make this mix?
and would i only spray it when its dark? or would the light affect it.

thanks.

I would let the top of your soil dry out first before using any insecticide.

drying out the soil it drys up there larvae(eggs) and they go away.

Do you find the top of your soil always moist?

I like to put a bowl of molasses in my grow rooms. The bugs love it and get stuck.

no
well when i got home the soil was very dry
and the plants looked thirsty so i watered them

but it was dry when i saw it
ill let it dry out and use that dawn and water shit.

also, should i do this before i put it into flowering
or does it not matter

You don't want to get any soap on your buds.

someone told me to mix a tiny bit of washing up liquid with lots of water water in like a squirty bottle and mist the plants with it.... I didn't take this advice and went out and got bug killer made for tomatoes nd shit nothing special it done the job! lol
