Stickanswered grow question 7 years ago Well, I see 4 types of potential solutions : mechanical control, nettle mix, insecticide spray, and leaf protection. Mechanical control = use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the visible insects/moths/spiders (be gentle and very careful) and simply kill every insect you find by crashing it. Nettle mix = natural way to drive insects away, but this will require an extra couple of days for your soil to dry (However this will ensure you the soil is no more contaminated). Insecticide spray = could be handmade with potassium soap or you can find advanced chemical solutions in your local growshop. Here are the efficient molecules: tebufenpyrad, deltamethrin, abamectin, pyridaben. Spraying chemicals is always tricky: could be the most efficient solution, but remember you will smoke what's coming out of this plant, this is definitely not recommended when blooming has begun, some compounds may take months to completely dissapear. Leaf protection: using an organic spray (like Biobizz LeafCoat), you will apply a protective layer over the leaves. In your case, I would try a nettle mix + a leaf protection spray, and if your squatters are not gone in a week, go for chemical insecticides very lightly. I'll be around, good luck with these babies!
