Again not sure where to post this. Here’s what’s making my plants sick (I think), what is it and is the soapwater treatment enough?

It is very tiny, barely under 1mm. The consensus seem to vary but so far my advise has been that it isn’t a friendly and that I should spray my plants with soapwater as a treatment.

Pretty sure that’s an aphid. Spray with diluted soap water. The soap will break down their exoskeleton. Don’t expose the plants to sun/grow lights until you rinse the soap off. We usually spray ours at dusk and give them a high powered water rinse at dawn. Spraying them with the hose also helps get rid of them.

Liquid Castile soap in distilled water for soft bodied insects 👍
