RE: Grow tent.

in #cannabis7 years ago

Hello, nice plants! You should definitely try to get most of those white flies before they continue to grow out of control. They are very common and are a invading pest to most gardens. My fiance and I cultivate as well and have experience with pests, like white flies and some of the common pesticides that are used for cannabis gardening. I wound definitely not use Captain Jacks for white fly as i have seen no effect on them. Also, most testing labs test for the ingredients listed on captain jacks because they are not safe for human consumption. I would highly recommend using and product called Safer insectal Soap and for us it is highly effective. They hold two organic certifications and it is safe to use for organic cannabis gardening. With pesticides like the CJ formula, the white flies can build up resistance to the ingredients, but they cannot with soap.

Thank you i appreciate that advice! I think i will take it!

Captain Jacks didn't much for me either, but we sold a lot at the hydro shop I used to work at so I guess it works for someone. Safer soap has helped a lot though. Neem oil is another option taht has worked great for me in the past. You have to use a sprayer with neem so it's hard to keep it off the buds, and it will make them taste nasty if it does get on flower. It's advertised as all natural and safe, and people have been using it for a long time, but recently some of my co workers told me that there have been reports claiming it's harmful to humans. I never looked it up myself though

Neem can be cancerous if sprayed on Plants 2 weeks before Harvest and combusted. I'm not a big fan of neem as a foliar spray but neem cake is awesome. I'm liking the safer option. That should keep a lot of my beneficials alive in my soil
