Monterey Garden Spray with spinosad. One or 2 applications will get rid of aphids pretty fast but any affected leaves with those splotchy looking marks from the leaf biters will never fully recover. Neem oil will also work just takes a bit longer to work. Both are organic & totally safe; the Monterey garden spray is even ok to spray buds with as it will dissipate in about 10 days. Re-apply then if needed.

Spinosad, botanigard/og biowar foliar, there are a few more you can use, id see what's available locally to you.

Whatever you're going to do i would go hard and fast with it. You really don't want to be spraying after week 4, even spraying in week 4 makes me feel wary sometimes. Pick 2 separate forms of control, and alternate them quick enough that you catch the larva and adults and then the eggs afterwards

I wouldnt use neem that far into flower personally. And though organic, is toxic to humans and smells like shit.

Big time exterminator from build a soil. Its like 2-3ml per gallon soil drench but much more potent foliar. Enzymes will fry those little bastards. Nuke em as well but the bte is much more economical. Hit em hard and heavy. When you think theyre gone, hit em again. Xenocide is the only solution. Both of these are organic and safe until the day of harvest. None residual.

No maybe not spraying buds with neem but it will work against whiteflies. If you add neem seed meal to your recycled soil as an amendment it will help give plants grown in it a natural defense against leaf biters plus it has NPK value.

Check out a product called Eight. It works great. It can be sprayed on vegetables just a few days before harvest, so it should be fine for buds. I've used it on marijuana plants in bud before and never had an issue.

Im going to suggest not using ANYTHING that says it kills aphids during flower. Unless you have the ability to spray off the pesticides after you rid them..by then you have more mum growth. The stuff thats in pesticides that kill aphids sufficate the aphid and it dies. Aphids dont have brains but we do, we dont exactly know what these pesticides have in them and inhaling and pesticide residues of this nature cannot be good. Pick them off manually and squish their juicy bodies 2x a day. Aphids are born pregnant ( aint that sumshit) they grow rapidly and evolve and so does their immunity to pesticides. 1x when lights come on and before lights go off, or as often as you like till they are gone, be dilagent.

There’s a few women in there so gonna be hard to squish em... think I’d be ok to just leave em? They don’t affect the parts which have the on them I read and I’m almost at the end of flower so mostly my fan leaves will be coming off soon anyways... or is that a bad idea
