Spider mites

I couldn't fertilize my plants because the soil was just sodden from all the rain we had the past few days. I did inspect my plants for whiteflies and the population took a real downturn after the spraying but I still found some and by afternoon I am sure there will be more. I may spray just DE, Permethrin and Dawn again in a day or two and try to get on top of them. Despite the ghostly appearance of the plants from the DE they sure look better without all those whiteflies sucking the life out of them.
