depends what your trying to kill.
DE or diatomaceous earth works best when it is dry and the bugs crawl over it. its like mini glass shards and dehydrates them. when it gets wet it is not effective.
You may find better luck in a BT containing product like misquote pucks or a living predator like beneficial nematodes.
Best Of Luck!

Do I just hose it off and proceed as normal? Or hose it off and give to my most leechy smoking friend?Looks like mould, but I'm guessing spider mites.
I tried the 3 days of dark, pulled it out of the cupboard and it had this big clump on it. There was the odd spider mite before the cupboard.
Basically just wondering if I'll die sooner if I try and clean it up and smoke it???

What nutrient deficiency is this?What nutrient deficiency is this? Or is it nutrient burn? I'm watering with 5.5 PH using half strength Nutes, Root booster & Calmag. I don't think it relates to spiders mites since I can't see any with my 30x magnifier. Thank you so much in advance.
