Hello all... I'm wondering if someone can help me determine what type of bug this is how to get rid of them.
This is my first grow and everything seemed to be going fine, though i was feeding and watering every day, and i think this was giving some of them nute burns. Anyways... they are almost 6 weeks old and i just noticed these little black bugs in the last three days. They started out with just a few here and there, on 1 or 2 plants. Then they started showing up on all the plants. Not a lot, but they are definitely there. i went down and purchased two types of bug spray. The guy behind the counter said they were both organic. one is called plant protector and the other is Azatrol Hydro. I read the box on the Azatrol, and it seemed to be very harsh and I�m not sure if i should use it. i used the plant protector yesterday per the instructions on the bottle. i sprayed around the base of the plants, the tops and bottoms of the leaves, then the stems. Then I�m supposed to spay again in three days. the next evening i went out to check on them, and it seems like there are more than before. I was wondering if this was supposed to kill them right away, and then spraying in 3 days to kill eggs that might hatch? But like i said, i doesn't look like it killed any of them, just made them multiply... Should i use the Azatrol? And if i do, do i spray it directly on the leaves? or should i just wait and spray the plant protector again, in the next couple of days? Or does anyone have an idea of something better to use? I don't even know what type of bugs these are. they are very small, about the size of the tip of a pencil. They seem to fly, they bite and i only find them on the top of the leaves. I took this picture, but they are so small, you can't really get a good look at them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
