Wonder if sticky traps would at least help? Maybe a little Vasoline, lol.

Edit: I checked out the GH organics link TWS provided and it of course mentions yellow sticky traps. They say they are weatherproof, but doubt they're worth a fuck outside. Sounds like you got a plan anyway.

Sprayed yest morning with light mixed concentrate and then at dusk with triple strength pyrethrin really hit the ww hard and the other two got a mild precationary spray all over and under
Got a seaweed based spray to foliar feed today or tomorrow as well as they dont like that and it will also replenish the plant quicker.
I notice the plant is a lighter green than last week and thats a sympton of the flies if it goes yellow im pretty much fucked
I also sprayed all my chilli plants and even the ground where ants where to combat these bastards they got me running scared ..i can handle losing one plant but id be shattered if i lost all

ok quick update here my friends..last nite an hour before dusk I sprayed with triple strength pyrethrin to the point of saturation and run off on the WW..the SR71 are unnafected by white flies but they got a standard amount of spray as precaution.I more or less sprayed walls and ground within a 3 metre radius of girls and then continued onto all chilli plants as well and moved pots and sprayed ground underneath for ants etc as well.


and it was instant...I shook the 3 girls not one whitefly flew up and I noticed a few drop to the ground..then on inspection underneath all leaves hardly an egg at all and what looked like dried up old eggs that fell off with a touch or small shake.
So now I know ive saved the WW (touchwood) but will be doing a standard spray amount of the triple strength pyrethrin once a week for the next few weeks till heavy flower..im estimating im at the end of week one flower now.
What I cut off the ww yesterday may have amounted to 2 or 3 potential oz but not worried in the least.
@treemansbuds the SR71 is kicking into gear now I can see why she will be the last to finish,its a bit lanky in the branches but im assuming only because its in a 15gal and not getting full sun but its very healthy.Took a few massive shade leaves off yesterday that had a few eggs on the underneath of leaves hence why the photo below is not quite as bushy as should be.Feed of maxsea full strength for all the girls before dusk as a reward for the stress they put me through yesterday ...KEEP IT GREEN

hi marco hope your well mate
the only bug pest problems I have EVER had is the basic two spotted mite that's all..no whiteflies budworms etc ever.Have had some leaf miners every grow early on but always solved easy as well as the mites precaution sprays always solve its only if I go 2 months without a spray I see mites.
Yeah im glad I sorted the whiteflies out its not over now im gonna assume there is new eggs every week even if I cant see any so that I keep spraying weekly now until heavy flower.That SR71 has a great stem rub smell over the next year or two it will get a spot in the garden or another plot that it deserves ie full sun etc
