I learnt from that page tws the connection the white flys have to aphids...now I know the connection I remember ive been treating a bunch of chilli plants within 3 metres of the mj for aphids which have almost got out of control on half a dozen chilli plants...learn something new everyday
I would pluck those two off and save the rest of the plant...just my opinion though
read my last post miss fumble I found the connection with aphids
I get aphids everyyear on some chilli plants but never had the flys till now.
you have dealt with them ill cut em off now its no biggie..they are the only 2 damaged bits which have some white hairs dying already cos of the damage
might even defoliate the big shade leaves on the ww as well as the eggs are all concentrated on the bigger shade leaves at this stage ..back after I cut those couple topsread my last post miss fumble I found the connection with aphids
I may have started the sprayin in time today as theres not many adults if my ww looks to be dying a slow death in the next week ill pull and burn it if it helps stop the spread to the other plants
I can also foliar spray with seaweed based juice as stated in the page tws sent the link for AND crush the eggs by hand as much as I can...fuck me sideways
yep I know all; bout ants n aphids with my chilli plant growing over the last decade...but its ironic that ive never ever seen a whitefly...our humidity this summer has broken records only yesterday moring it was 90% humidityright on Rubydo you have a problem with ants? If you have aphids, check for ants...they move them around and suck the juice out of them
The de solved my ant problems. Took out fire ant nest with ittoo! But yeah I've had the ants farm aphids on plants before. Nasty stuff.Ants sucks really bad. We have a crap load down hete. Kill em here kill em there then over here . It doesn't stop. Then I water the grass or something and wash off the home defense and start all over again.
That should do it . Why do you rinse it off ? And look for a source. I think mine was the grass last year. I had a fair problem but they never killed anything using spinosad. But they never went away either . Think I caught a trip tonight in the vegg cab.
They farm scale too. Little bastards are quite the farmers eh.
Yep got ants and aphids amongst my chillis in pots nearby ..only learnt the connection today
So i think my ww may have a fight on its hands ...only sprayed with normal strength.at first light so fuck it im spraying with tripple strength tonite then see what it does to the adults n eggs over two days..took a few tops off that were infected past repair and took a heap of shadeleaves of as well all on the wonder woman mind youThats so gross .
