    Help me identify bug

    Couldn't get better pictures 2 weeks ago I noticed big number of these bugs. When I shake plant bunch of them start flying around. They seem not to do any harm but I want to make sure they are not invasive

    I'm not from where you are from but I am guessing a type of white fly. They are invasive and get out of control fast.

    I've had them a few times and the treatment that worked for me was to shake the plant to get as many off as possible and a full spray of soapy water focusing on the underside of leaves. Just use liquid dishwashing liquid and you dont need much. Repeat every few days or more often if bad.. Should be gone after 2 or three treatments

    If it is in flower don't spray the buds. I havent had an outbreak in flower only in veg.

      Soapy water does stress the plant but it is the least stressful of the options available apart from doing nothing but then your leaves will get eaten.

      It worked for me quite a few times and I've had white fly bad.

      Thanks for feedback, plants are looking good so I would not like to ruin it , I started shaking branches alot and some flew away , some came back. But it seems to help. If I get bad infestation I'll try soapy water but I would like to avoid it tho. Maybe some other pest control would work? I was using one organic product we have here and it helped with all other bugs but not with these boys

    Looks like a leafhopper. Had these on my other non-cannabis plants.

      Yes Brother, a lot of similarities, maybe different colours different species but looks like it

      Soapy water is the least stressful and probably the safest now you're starting bud growth, for leafhopper too, although I don't think I've had them.

      Bluey I did use me some soapy water for my spider mite friends! I've killed them all. Spider women and spider children too. Along with everything else. Complete and utter destruction. If I get my girl to harvest it's gonna be almost a literal miracle. But I believe in miracles!

    What about a bug zapper placed away from the plants, though it could run up the power bill.

      Looks like a thrip to me. They are relatively benign but can do damage in large numbers. They reproduce rapidly.

        I'll put half my money on you crucialbunny as they are not like thrips I have seen, and I have not seen many thrips.
        If there were damage, it would be easier to tell.

          Thanks everyone , all of those bugs look similar, I put few drops of dishwash soap in 2.5l spray bottle, it didn't hurt the plant in 24 hours , I will spray again since they still on plant
