Been battling a swarm of pests these past 8 days. I know I had them for way longer before noticing them. They even got into my veg tent. A bunch of defoliation and Captain Jacks dead bug has been sprayed. The girls don't look too badly damaged which is amazing. Here's some pictures of the flowering tent. Managed to defoliate one of the 5 so far. IMG_2448.JPEG

Are you sure it's ok to have saturated plants under lights when they're on?
Most advice I've come across is against it.
I make sure to shut off the lights for an hour after applying. My time schedule has it to where I won't be awake when the lights are off. Once I hit week 3 of flower I'm hoping the flowering tent will be good to go and wont mess with the light schedule anymore.

I've always foliar fed with lights on, never had any problems. I never understood spraying before lights out with the increased mold risk? If you don't get desired effect after one foliar spray, do another?
So stuff like Captain jacks dead bug is ok with lights on? Maybe this product is different from other pest fighters. I should read up on it.

Should be fine but you should always start by spraying small patches when you try out new products!

I think it's mostly old obsolete information that won't die. You will mostly find old references but what do I know maybe there's some truth to it when you spray it on outdoor plants in extreme high intensity sunlight? We're in a controlled environment indoors.
