6 weeks into flower? Azamax is gross, and oily, and doesn't wash off. The "Up til the day of harvest" bullshit is for fruits and vegetables with a washable skin.

Folks in Colorado are getting wise to the ill effects of Azadirachtin products. Get nausea in the mornings much?

Says the guy who sprays in flower. Dude, you're aware that 25% of the population has very little ability to taste, right?
Your posts are putting you in that category.

It's either that, or you've been using contaminated cannabis for so long, you really have no idea what good bud is like. You seriously can't taste neem oil, sprayed 2-3 weeks from harvest? I can taste it when it's sprayed in week 3, and it definitely lasts till harvest and beyond. Gross.
Do you use tobacco also? The harsh of tobacco would also help create lack of taste, which would lead to posts which read like yours.

Anyone who's sensitive to contaminants in cannabis would do well to ignore what you post about pest control methods. Just keeping the newbs aware.

Yo, I disagreed with you, I didn't ask for a diatribe. And yeah, I spray in flower with nontoxic natural stuff. Usually Dr. Earth, but neem if necessary. My buds turn out fine with no tainted smell or flavor. And especially in the concentrations used, even people with sensitivities will be just fine. You're just a little bitch and everyone sees it. And no, I don't smoke tobacco. A very occasional pipe, but not very often.

Better natural herb oils and nonharmful plant extracts than smoking bugs.

Your buds turn out fine. Yeah, ok. Appreciate the heads up on what's generally in them, I'll pass. You're on the non-sensitive scale.

Yeah, we disagree, I'm attempting to educated you on a point you seem to completely miss. Whatever, I'll keep posting you're non-sensitive, any time you recommend spraying crap in flower. Would be better for folks if you just kept that info to yourself, let those you're sharing the cannabis with know though.

Growers are responsible for their product, whether or not they're responsible growers.

Bugs actually burn just fine. You seem to have a mental hangup on this.

Yeah, bugs burn fine and then you inhale their bodily fluids and cinders of burned bugs. Real responsible of you. I'll pass.

There is nothing wrong with using nontoxic natural pesticides, and it would be responsible not to sell infested product to your customer base, you nasty ass mother fucker.

Anything I use, the same chemicals you'd find in your food at a restaurant because they are derived from food herbs. It's definitely not irresponsible to use what I use, because you're basically saying that eating at a restaurant is irresponsible because people might be sensitive to it.

Yes, they're washed and usually cooked. Not inhaled from something you cannot wash.
Yes, you definitely have a bug hangup. A few mites or aphids or whatnot is perfectly fine, for taste and health. You REALLY have a hangup on that.

You suggested spraying neem oil at this point, 6 weeks into flower. Seriously you have no taste. I'm done with you, again. Anyone with real experience and taste agrees with me 100%.

If extremely diluted, it will not taint it. I can tell you 100%. I prefer to use the Dr. Earth instead of Neem in late flower. Most people are just afraid to experiment to find out. But I'll tell you one thing most people here agree with me on: No one wants to fucking smoke bugs. It's fucking disgusting.

Also, would you mind sharing a picture of your grow? Because it would be nice to see your real world experience. Because I don't see a single pic from you on here. You'd think, living in Colorado, you'd have no problem showing off.

Take plant(s) outside > shake the shit out of them > hose well with plain water > dry with a few extra fans to help prevent rot in your high humidity. Not much else ya can do mate this late. Picking them all off by hand is another method if you got the time.

Potassium soap is another consideration. It will kill the aphids above ground on contact. Any residue (if you're concerned about it) should be easily washed off at harvest.

Definitely not an advocate of neem oil in flower either. Pyrethrum is a better choice. Still wouldn't use it too far in though. Aphids seem to love plants in mid flower. Much better idea to prepare yourself with predators if you live in a high risk area. Just having fought those fucking little pricks last season, I am never going to try and defeat them with sprays etc.. again. You're on a road to nowhere believe me.

Well yesterday I went in there again and killed some aphids. numbers were much lower than the first day. I'd say 25% of what they were the first day, actually less than that. maybe 15%. Found one spot though where the little bastards were all over the bud. though so far they have stayed away from my top buds. Week 7 flowering starts tomorrow, so I've decided to just be vigilant and pull them out once a day and go bug squashing. If I smoke a little bit of aphids that's okay. Hell in some countries people eat bugs. lol. I found a couple of areas where little green worms had spun webs into a cacoon or something. found three worms yesterday, three the previous day. inside the fucking bud!!. god damn. I'm so pissed , this plant (royal medic) is amazing. Best plant I've ever grown. I guess though if I only have two more weeks left she will be okay. These buds are big, and they smell incredible. I'll upload a pic, her branches are getting heavy and she's starting to splay out. I don't want to spray anything on her, if the aphids get too bad, I'll try the cold water thing, or flour...i hear that works well for aphids.

In the pic you can see her under my 400 hps, inside my 3x3 tent. she takes up almost the entire thing by herself. I have two smaller plants in there with her. next round I will be doing only two that's also quite a tall tent. her top bud is as tall as my chin.

You can try ladybugs. They eat tons of aphids. You can buy ladybugs at a good garden store.

yeah i had some black aphids fucking with my grow, didn't have them on the buds really more on the fan leaves, started spraying with neem oil in beginning flower knocked out the adults from mating, then just some insecticide soap from Ace to maintain and kill the ones that hatch after.
