Hydrogen Peroxide for Aphids

Good grief. Do not use White Oil on plants that far into flower. That's crazy. White oil is just another name for mineral oil and is a byproduct of crude oil refining process. It is used as an insecticide on plants but not something like cannabis where you will be smoking the product. You can wash an apple off under the sink. That oil is going to stay on the buds. Just rinse the aphids off with plain water. It's that simple.
I mentioned using water a couple weeks ago on the OPs spider mites post. I believe OP mentioned in another post that repeatedly touching the plant may have led to further issues experienced.

With aphids you're still going to have to wash them off which will get rid of them. Just killing them with something and not washing them off leaves dead bugs and their crap behind. Spider mites are going to be more difficult to eradicate by just spraying with plain water.

Yes exactly, hence me writing a couple times that using water to wash the aphids off might be the way to go. Depending how far along the plants are and the level infestation they may not even need anything...

The OPs post was labelled as "spider mites" but I'd rather identified the pest in the pictures as aphids.
