Is a plant has had a previous bug problem is it still smokable ???

My plants are about a week from being done they look an smell great I’ve jus been thinking to my self are they even safe to smoke ??? I’ve had thrips and aphids and have used Monterey garden insect spray when I had to witch was a number of times soo I wounder are my plants safe to smoke or can I just make edibles with them or ???? Any suggestions?

Wouldn’t smoke if sprayed the buds. Not sure if a bath would help or not

when did you spray them with the spinosad?

@Gond00s i noticed the aphids problem got really bad so I sprayed about a week ago but tried my best to only spray the bottom of the leaves were it was infected I haven’t seen any bugs on the actual buds but only on the bottom of leave or beginning of a stem. Any suggestions?? The plant overall looks good I don’t jus want to toss it anything I can do with it ??

@Autodoctor any suggestions ? I really don’t wanna jus throw it away I’m sure there’s something I can do with it right ??

you really want to have all that shit under control before you flower, because once the buds start to grow, you do not want to be spraying anything except completely organic solutions..
spinosad is pretty safe as pesticides go, but it is systemic,if sprayed on a plant, it will be absorbed and distributed through the whole plant, but he didn't actually say spinosad, monterey makes a lot of products, it could be something with pyrethrins, or imidacloprid, both kind of nasty systemics...

I have smoked plenty of insects and their fecal matter
But I don’t ingest bug spray
For future grows a routine regimen of citrus sprays work great

i'll be honest...if all you used was spinosad, and don't intend to sell it, i'd go ahead and use it myself...you have to use a LOT of spinosad for it to have any effect on people...but in the future, it would be a really good idea to make sure you don't have any pests before you start to flower

@Roger A. Shrubber it was under control when I started but I am growing out doors.

@Roger A. Shrubber yes I have ONLY used the spinosad an yes it’s for personal use

there are a lot of organic alternatives, people make sprays from hot peppers, oranges, lemons, garlic...and they seem to have good luck with them, just be very careful applying them in flower, they might not be toxic, but they certainly have an odor and a flavor...and i don't want to smoke lemon garlic weed....

roger is most likely right it looks like aphids. I personally used a liter of water to 300ml of vinegar and some dish soap and it did wonders but I didn't do it in flower so I'm not sure if you can?

thats a good formula, but let the peels from a couple of oranges soak in it for 2 or 3 days first, and it will be even more effective
that won't be toxic, but it will taste like shit if you get it on the buds...

Aphids can just be sprayed off with plain water.
