I believe the soap works best every 2-3 days as the pests hatch in same period so your trying to catch them at birth or earlier if the soap targets larvae as well but I’m not sure if a nightly routine is a good idea. Also are the leafs being chewed up? Are you seeing random holes? And flipping over some of the infected leafs do you see anything crawling around? I meant to ask that earlier. And as for trimming off dead stuff yes def do that as the decaying matter is attracting the pests

Ok sweet I’ll make it every 2-3 as I’ve been doing every 5 an yes I’m seeing random holes an what looks like chewed leaves but the only thing crawling around are those mites
An the mites are all over the plant an pot, like every leaf on all plants.
What’s these tdrop your using ? Like brand name ? I’m curious as to what it fully does and wondering if switching to a neem oil application may help better but if tdrop essentially do the same thing it would be pointless but pest do get used to the treatment chemicals if being used constantly and ya may need to either switch treatment or alternate between two that can be used together to minimize them developing a tolerance
Your still in veg stage correct?

Yes still vege
Ok that’s good don’t have restrictions like in flowering stage. So if it was me I’d remove anything that’s damaged really bad like that flower top and any leafs that are completely dead. Keep all that is green and if half the leaf is dead remove just the dead section now depending on how many leafs ya have to remove half of it could slow down water uptake so don’t be surprised if she slows down for a week. As for insects being that I never used tdrops just neem oil and h2o2 if your willing to switch up and try neem oil spray and soil drench followed by an hydrogen peroxide solution on next watering day I think that will help alot with what’s going on above and below ground but honestly don’t give up dude and get to pissed off cause these plants are pretty hardy and can go through hell and back a lot of times and I know it’s been going up and down for ya which sucks but I’ll try and help any way I can dude

Honestly I’m not to pissed, like yeah I’m a bit annoyed but it was gonna give me a reason to do a garden box thing hahaha, but I’ll fight the good fight an keep em going an try to recover as I believe it’ll be better for my grow game to be able to overcome something like this an yes I think a h202 wash next water will be fine as it only breaks down the tdrops so it won’t have a bad chemical reaction or anything an I’ll give the Neem ago when I can buy it, I’ll use the insecticidal soap slightly more regularly till then.

I did incase to there just tanlindrops that have changed there branding so I think there the same all-round
So that stuff is supposedly some decent stuff but it did look to be more effective on 2 types of pests and there larvae and I don’t know much about identifying which pests are which but you could have ones that the tdrops don’t do well against. I also checked into doing an h2o2 while using tdrops and you can as long as your staggering treatments with a normal watering in-between them. I forgot to mention you won’t want to be doing an h2o2 treatment very often as it can become harmful if done excessively. It’s one of those things it’s good at first but to much becomes harmful so ya may just want to do it once a week or biweekly

If you have capt Jack’s all in 1 neem oil available that’s what I use and works great. I use as a soil and plant drench in veg stage and flower just a soil drench and so far things have been good it’s also fairly cheap as well except Amazon they get ya for a few extra bucks lol. But yeah do treatment right before lights out so it won’t burn plants up and let it ride over night and next day I like to give the leafs a nice misting just incase any neem residue is left on it so no burning happens

Yeah I was using it for the fungus gnats larvae an yeah I thought so, so I’ll let them dry for the next couple days as I watered lights on yesterday an then h202 water then back to regular pH water after, while keeping up with the spray, I’ll then assess where I am with you guys an go for a trim late NXT week, how does that sound?
