please help whoever can!! tini tiny white bugs all over plant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my girls about in the middle of its flowering stage and just a couple days ago i started to notice these white looking dust i thought it was that came from the cieling or somthing...i didnt think much of it so i let it be. now i realized these are bugs!!! i looked on the underneath the leaf and i saw it was completely COVERED in these little white bugs... i have another plant that is almost finished flowering and has none of these bugs to be found on it at all where could they come from ? why are they only on the larger nicer plant :cry: i became pretty upset when i realized they where bugs this morning and went to the local hydro store and bought foxfarms dont bug me and a doktor doom fogger. the sprays seemed to help a bit and im waiting for the lights to shut off to do the fogger. will my plant be ok after this?!!

Be very carefull treating pests during flowering.

What ever you put on the plant you eventually put into yourself at the end via smoking or eating.

I would makesure whatever you are putting on is good for crops that you eat. I think the doktor doom fogger is good up until a couple of days before harvest.

So use this first.

Unsure about the dont bug me.

I would have recommended a HOT SHOTS NO PEST STRIP until the problem was gone maybe with some SPINOSAD. IF the dont bug me has this ingredient then it will work great for you.

SPINOSAD ROCKS!!!!!!

Years ago I had a problem with a white moth and asked a old nursery guy about a safe way to get rid of them and he told me to get a bright yellow can or plastic bottle and give it a good coat of oil (I used motor oil) and hang it close to the plants, 2 days later all of them were stuck to the can.
This is what I use now..Ladybugs!

Yup, i got ladybugs also.10 bucks for like 1500. They march up the top then the underside of each leaf like automated soldiers.

You got whiteflies man, I've got the same problem in my outdoor grow. I'm getting overrun by these bastard and am at a loss of what to do. I've been totally organic up to this point but they are starting to explode in numbers after some recent wet weather. I think that I'm going to have to bust out some malatheon 50, or something like it. Anyone with any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
