What application rates are you using? There's a weak solution, a medium solution and a strong solution... I presume (and hope) you're using the strong solution? The 2.5oz to 30oz of water? And you're spraying the tops and bottoms of all leaves as well as the branches and stem, buds? I've got to say, looking at your diary, you've got quite a jungle in there... and I think it might be easy to miss spraying some stuff. If this was my grow, I would take each plant out of the tent, spray it, leaving them out of the tent until every plant has been individually sprayed thoroughly and then clean/spray your tent before putting the pots back in there. It really DOES work but having to deal with an infestation when you're plants are as large and leafy as they are is challenging... and I don't envy you at all. The only other thing you could do would be to try some Spinosad - but you're going to have to go through that same procedure... Good luck! Nasty little bastards they are!!

Hello. A vacuum will suck up the flying ones quickly. They are slow flyers, and can be picked off by a vacuum cleaner. Shake the plant and the adults will fly off and can be sucked up. Don't hurt the plants but it can reduce the adult population fast. Chuck.

Try getting some Dr Bronners UNSCENTED castile soap, super cheap, organic, and can use in flower, although I would always advise doing a water/peroxide Bud wash straight after chop, anyway, the castile soap is really good, I’ve found it to be better and more efficient than any other pesticide I’ve tried so far, has eliminated two spider more infestations for me in the summer and you don’t need much, also when you spray make sure to spray on the under side of the leaves also, these little monsters hide in the most sneakiest of places, for the most part the pesticides only kill the hatched insects too, they don’t kill the eggs, so chances are the ones your seeing after spraying could be recently hatched ones. Hope this helps

Can't speak specifically for white fly; but many pests require multiple modes of action to break the life cycle. Try using sticky traps at the same time.
