Hey I'm right on it bro.

Leaves grow leaves die.

Spider webs are usually a pretty damn good sign that a spider has been there. :D:

Use the old baby shampoo and water in a spray bottle of other recommended spray killer and mist your plants...on top and under leaves.

All will be well if it is spiders.

For sure i used the shampoo about 15min ago how long and how often should i continue this treatment and ahhh oh yeah how much should i use i used like 3 drops in about 3 cups of water. IM not proud of it but i tasted the soapy water to see if it was good (good as in good for the plants not taste good) and it wasnt strong so i figured that was good any feedback

Sounds fine.

If it is spiders or little worms, the spray will be effective after one application.

Some beatles and larvae requires more soap and more spray.

At this point, since infestation may have already occured, check DAILY.

Do every week or so, misting with plain water in between the periods to remove any residue.

This is from the company's marketing material but they do work and are all safe to use around a resin producing plant.

Hot Pepper Wax spray will not work well for Gnat's.
