Thrips, Whiteflies, Spider Mites Fungus Gnats are eating and shiting on my buds and leaves. I had to cut a big bud because of the mold their shit made. My plan now is using Use diatomaceous earth on the soil. I don't know if it is enough. Any suggestions guy?

It depends if you're in flowering or in growth. In flowering, DO NOT spray diatomaceous earth on the leaves, or you'll be smoking silicon... In growth, you can spray diatomaceous earth dissolved in water (10 to 20 grams per liter of water). In both phases, you can sprinkle diatomaceous earth on the top layer of the substrate and around the trunk (but WITHOUT touching it).

Use diatomaceous earth on the soil AND spray the leaves. Make a super concentrated solution, it must leave white powder on the leaves. Do that 3x a week, before you turn off the lights. I got rid of a horrible mite infestation that way.
