Will a small amount of them reek havoc on my plants if I keep the numbers down. I don't have an infestation just enough to notice.I sprayed my plants with neem oil and water mixture then an hour or so later sprayed my plants with water. I plan on buying green lacewings to help. Plants are in flower so I don't want my plants going to waste. I only noticed them a week ago. Ive been checking my plants daily to kill as many as I see. But really my only question is if I can't get rid of them all and keep the numbers down will my plants be ok? Any additional info you may need to know let me know. Sorry again it's my first year growing and in trying

If you can keep the numbers down I would think you would be all right, its going to be a lot of daily work though.
If you dont have buds forming yet you can still spray.

Nuke them all ... bugs propagate rapidly.
AND clean appropriately after your run.

They Can be controlled. If there isn’t buds yet..or if it’s just like week three and not even really tiny budlets yet than you need to hit them and hit them hard all over. In flower when there’s buds..I use a dawn soap and water mixture to wipe all the leaves. Get it sudsy and use a sponge. Be careful not to drip onto buds. I do this a few times a week. I’ve never had a crop overtaken and have had my share of mites. It’s not a doom situation unless you’re totally negligent imo.
