Whiteflies?

[durgamata]

I am week 3 flower, this grow has gone flawlessly, no bugs no disease.

Until, I noticed a small population of whiteflies in the grow-room. I willl see one or two fly around every few minutes.

How much can they damage plants, how long can I expect them to stay around un-treated?

Are sticky traps the best solution?

Thanks!

sticky traps help,they hang out and lay eggs on the underside of the shade leaves,they seem to avoid the buds ,they don't reproduce real fast but could be a problem when thc glands appear the flys get stuck and die,get some zero tolerance and use a q-tip to treat the bottom of the shade leaves

k, already have the zero tolerance from last grow, and some azamax. I was just trying to avoid using anything to put on the plants.

Don't laugh, but depending on your patience level, you can do a number on whiteflies manually.

Compared to fungus gnats, they have almost no sense of danger.

Thumb on one side of the leaf, forefinger on the other, pow. One less whitefly.
