Glad you mentioned spider mites because she has killed spider mites with this dish soap method on her house plants for many years. I only bought SM-90 to prevent root rot in DWC but it also works well for spider mites. Some believe the SM stands for "spider mites"

Hi again OldSchool,
Last year as i recall i found myself selecting some Bug-B-Gon resistant Borg: it got me assimilated!
Perhaps we can get rid of an infestation using soap but i think that may still hurt auto-flowering cultivation, simply because...
Lets not expect lost time & resources to be recovered completely ever: damage caused by a parasite colony usually leaves behind a lasting legacy which might affect harvest negatively in the end. So, even if one succeeds removing them there's possibly going to be serious harm done already, which is why i'd prefer a solution focussed on eradicating the eggs themselves (E.G. when The Borg is most vulnerable: eggs can't/won't adapt!)...

Treating the soil is correct for fungus gnats, she did the soap treatment for spider mites and other leaf pests.
Good point Egz
I mentioned the soap after viewing the pests on the leaves in Peter Pans pictures. I didn't see anything that resembled adult fungus gnats but some other little pesky critter that loves our girls as much as we do.
Cheers

Salutations,
Hummm... I'd expect usually the other pesky critters (except the diapause-able ones perhaps) may also happen to love oxygen much like we do - if not depend on it just the same... Which i suspect could be how we find ourselves on the same side as the invading/frustrating parasites, as plants prefer to breath CO2 and expell oxygen which feeds us, if i got that part right. Euh...
So how about CO2 flooding (e.g. oxygen displacement) as a peskyricide?!...
Possibly for many people the sole idea of vaporizing insects wouldn't exactly appeal as some valuable addition item for their cannabic ritual!! See, how about toking on real tasty critter balloons tonight?... Get what i mean!
So, what's the garantee it won't evolve beyond the worst expectations ever, etc.
If, for example, one plans to get initiated to cannabic aromatherapy and then his vaporist ritual becomes contaminated by some neo-culinary explorative sensation that risk failing to enlight the whole event, IMO...
Yuk!!
Really, if the goal is only to get "stone", how about vaping insects alone! If only that could work!! Well, at least it's not too hard to grow them, i know that much...
Please tell me there's an happy ending in any case.
Good day, have fun!!
