3 or 4 questions

Union City, CA(Zone 9b)

history - my wife was in hospital 4 out of last 10 weeks - I caught stomach flu .
Anyway , I moved the plants I could into my homemade greenhouse , some had cold damage on leaves . Went out yesterday saw white flys - put in a bug bomb .
1 . should I water / rise leaves ?
2 . should I water or mist leaves
3 . should I add food when I water [ to water ]
4 . should I add food if I mist [ I still have plenty of mighty plant and 3 or 4 other foods you add to water .]
5 . I bought some blue Xmas lites - do they attract "bugs" like a bug zapper ? [ I wrap / string out Xmas lights around pots for a little extra heat ]

Gee Tony, too bad your wife has been so ill. I hope she is getting better now. That is a lot of time in the hospital. The flu is no fun either.

If your GH stays warm enough you can feed them. I notice when it is cold like it has been, feeding doesn't do much for they are not in the growing mode. And we are having more real cold this next week. I saw one night it will get down to 28. I just let mine sit there till spring leafless and looking pathetic and hoping the rain won't rot them.

I think Bayer Tree and Shrub does whitefly in. I am not positive but think so. Mighty plant has Messenger in it doesn't it? I think you need much warmer temps for Messenger to do anything.

I have no clue about blue lights and bugs.

Good luck!
