Growing for over 10 years, never had anything other than fungus gnats in my first year. Wtf are these? Didn't find them until I started harvesting one plant, so far they've only been on 3 branches. Buds look fine but I'm sure they're embedded in there somewhere. Can I still smoke? Would freezing the buds before or after they dry to kill them work? This is some BULLSHIT!!!

Yeah that’s still good. Try the bud wash, it’s a perfectly good way of cleaning mold/mildews and probably aphids off your buds. YouTube Cervantes doing it, he uses a cup of regular 3% h2o2 in a big container and washes a crop. You’ll be good.
I wouldn’t freeze it, especially wet. Too much water in it, wouldn’t that turn it to mush? Plus the bugs would still be in the buds. Float them out.

Been harvesting this plant slowly a few days before I noticed them...can you still wash semi-dry buds?
I mean you can wash anything.

Its your choice. Wash it now and have less bugs. But other possible issues.

Dont wash it and absolutely hate smoking it.

Your call.

They were on my plant in my flower tent. My old lady has brought home several house plants from friends at her work the last few months, I'm blaming her.
If you are growing indoors it’s good practice to quarantine any plants coming into the living space for a while. Just because you don’t see them right away doesn’t mean larvae or eggs aren’t present. Then I would still spray. I use Botanigard and really like it. You can use it up to the day of harvest. It’s a biological. Expensive but good.

That sucks man.

I’d definitely break up the buds and then wash the pieces really well to try and get them all out.


hearing one pop while smoking would be the end of it for me.

Dr Bronners helped kill some green motherfuckers I had that resembled these. I covered buds and super soaked her for a few days, and she finished out completely clear. Hope you get it fixed :(

What, you never had the rice crispies strain that was so popular back in the nineties outdoor grow scene? If it wasn't petrified fungas knats, than it was a pine needle, or a dried inch worm, or a pubic hair like I saw on some bags back in the 90's :eek:
