Safer is an insecticidal soap, only use during vegitation growth. I'd use that. or get some lady bugs and let 'em eat.

I believe I used the first stuff or stuff just like it. It is garden safe brand. They make 3 different kinds that say are good up to harvest. I used it on 2 week old plants for fungus gnats. Knocked em dead(the gnats) and no ill effects so far.

fungicide 3-in1 is the name of what i use. it kills whiteflys spidermites and fungis and is organic and safe for your plants

Turbo,

can you tell me the ingredients so I can match it up with mine to see if we are using the same stuff just a different brand.

Thanks

the only problem with ladybugs is that if u have spider-mites lady bugs don't really like them. they prefer aphids , also if your going to be using insecticides make sure u get a insecticide that can be used for edible plants
 
i used to use a spray from fox farms i forget the name but love the stuff i use now. its a aerosol called dr. doom. the main ingredient is called pyrethrum and it is derived from cchrysanthemum flowers. The spray dissipated within 24 hours i think. its about 20 bucks at the hydro shop i go too and hasnt burnt my plants yet.
