Heya tejashidrow!

Sorry to hear about your problem.

A bit of searching would have helped you right away.

I would recommend you familiarize yourself with the advanced search using "Title Search Only." I've got pics of the page in the thread in my signature.

Anyway, this thread should help you out:

Good luck in your travels!

I have had them forever, easy to kill but very hard to get rid of because of the life cycle. About 4 months ago a new friend showed up... it has to be a parasitic wasp, they are smaller than a fruit fly and patrol the leaves looking for whiteflies. They walk up one side of the leaf then down the other... and they have lots of sex. If you can't exterminate them I would definitely recommend the wasps. I know Hydro Gardens sells them..... Short term Doktor Doom foggers work great and are non toxic....

THOSE THINGS WORK GREAT FOR WHITE FLYS!

Spray the leaves down good with a safesoap spray(lowes or home depot) then right after, set the fogger off and close it up.

See ya in hell you white fly bastards

Do these things look like li'l tiny moths? Are they like bout 1/16' long and tiny moth like? They do flutter off when I jostle my leaves round. Could someone direct me to a whitefly pic? Im gonna go type it into the search function.

Here's what they'll look like when they're going strong:

You can order it online and it won't harm buds at all, the neem could do some serious damage... Doktor Doom Total Release Fogger

Hang up a few fly traps. These sticky things, I dont know what they are called, large pieces of yellow plastic coated in a very stick substance that attract flying insects and then they are causght in the trap.
Start from scratch on your next grow.
Change all the soil and start from seed or aquire new clones.
The good thing about white flies, (or at least the white fliy infestation that I had) is that they go for the leaves and not the buds. I also think that the stress that they caused my crop may have improved the potency of the bud.
