I just had an infestation of theses little white bugs. I killed them off with a mixture of Dr. Bronners hemp soap and water from a spray bottle. I have two plants that are recovering nicely, but the other two are really droopy despite proper/regular waterings. Soil is moist but the plants are droopy enough for a main branch to split at the trunk. The inside of the plant did not appear to be as moist as it should be. Leaves tend to snap off despite being green. I just gave my plants a shower to wash off all of the dead bugs and soap, but these conditions were present before the shower. I even gave them a light dose of my veg ferts to try and give them a boost (only 1/2 dose of 20-10-20). The plants seem to be alive and the buds are growing slowly, I’m just concerned for the overall health of the plant. Will they pull through?
