Yeah the soapy water solution did work I sprayed every 24 hours for 3 days as well as checking every leaf and if there were some underneath the bottom sides of the leaf I took my fingers and gently rub the leaf and squish them. I did use de and sprinkled some on the soil after I watered. I used the tablespoon / 16 oz spray bottle don't know if that's the right ratio but it worked for me and didn't harm my plants. As far as the chemicals goes I did use neem oil once the one of my girls was willing to flower and was advised not to use neem oil when flowering. Good luck let me know if it works for you.
Yeah I sprayed with neem as well on my plants at week 2 or 3 of flower on my last run and they don't seem to smoke any different. I wouldn't want to spray any later than that though just because everyone says not to.. although a few people have told me they sprayed later into flower and didn't notice any bad taste..
My buddy I guess has sprayed some old school stuff they use to use back in the day, 3 times and he says it seems to kill them but then they come right back so he's thinking they're coming from/hiding out in the soil. I have a few different things we can try. Probably will start out with the soapy water and sprinkle some DE onto the soil.
I've been told as far as the ratio goes that you only need a couple drops, just enough so that the bottle isn't filled with large bubbles but if that worked for you and didn't seem to harm your plants then that's all that matters. I've only ever used neem oil but I'm pretty new, grew outside a couple times about 7 to 8 years ago when I was just a teen and now just finished up my first indoor grow..
I'll let you know our results though, shouldn't be too bad I don't think
