Houston: We Have A Problem!!!

3rd week in flower and I noticed a slight outbreak of mealybugs. What’s the worst I’m looking at to come ? I’ve treating for them which I Hope was the best option . Please share some advice if any.

If you're talking about those nasty little bugs that leave a nasty white residue your best option is to wash them off with plain water. I'd take them outside and spray them off with a hose or the shower. Spraying anything that just kills them will leave all that crap on your plants. I've had them on houseplants and after washing them off they didn't return. It wouldn't hurt to do a mild neem oil drench for the soil afterwards.

You washed the entire plant ? Even if it’s in flower already ?

Water isn't going to hurt that early in flower. It's better than spraying something that is going to linger on the plant. If you have actual mealybugs then you'll need to wash them off along with all the crap they leave behind.

Do you have actual mealybugs? These are the bugs I'm talking about.

Type "mealybugs cannabis" into google and you'll find a plethora of remedies. Most involve using a hard stream of water as the first step to getting rid of them. But you need to get those things off asap. They leave nasty crap behind.
