Ok, so my white widow is 14 weeks old. 10 weeks in veg, 4 in flowering. she's nice and crystally with buds popping up all over. sounds like heaven right? nope! 4 weeks ago we sprayed her down with neem oil (which we had researched as being one of the best natural insectisides for use on edibles and smokables) after having found what looked like head lice eggs -wee clear/ white single ball(s) on the stem and underside of the plant. not too many tho, so we wern't that worried. after about a week we had noticed a few of the leaves were marked, possible where the oil had sat on the leaves and not dried off properly, but we didn't find any more of those 'egg' type thingys so we were happy enough. just back from my holidays, i went up to see the princess and to my horror there was a wriggly creeper on one of the top leaves. yellowish in colour, not much bigger than the 'egg' thingys, and moving pretty quickly over the top of my plant!!! i'd planned to harvest at hallowe'en which is 5 weeks away but i dont want to harvest a plant full of eggs, nor do i want to smoke bud soaked in insectiside. can someone who has dealt with this problem before please advise as i've almost lost hope. 8 months and 12 seeds later this is the first female we've got and i really hope she's not ruined!
