I've got some small bugs on my plants that I noticed last night. I'm going to get some tonight and look at them with my scope so I can identify, but I'm wondering what I can fight them with as late as 7-8 weeks into flowering. My buds have mostly orange hairs but I'm still waiting for amber crystals. If it gets bad I will harvest I guess, but I'd like to let them get a little fuller.

okay not many people use this but its safe to use intill the day u harvest i read a thread on it awile back is called no pest strips and im cirrentlly using them now they work awesone i had mits early on and this took care of them and since ur not putting anything on the plant u can use them till you harvest

after i put them in my grow area they took 2-3 days and all spider miters were dead then when u switch lite cycle u thro a fresh one in cause they like to hide in the dirt till the cycle changes from what ive heard im now 2 weeks into flowering and no bugs good luck

I have had these in my grow room since the start of flowering (No pest strips), I have not had a harvest yet so I will tell you if I die from smoking my crop. I believe they are harmless, I would think if the plant was absorbing the essence somehow it would kill them. My grow has gone bug free so hopefully you will have the same result.

My plant was started outside and then brought inside which is a big no no as far as bugs are concerned, No trace of any kind of bug in or around my grow room.

I'm scared of chemicals so I've got two things to try. First I cranked my CO2 tank way up till I could hear it hissing real well and sealed up the tent with the fans off. I'm going back in 15 minutes to turn it off, then I'll do it in a few days once the eggs have hatched. Hopefully this nukes the bastards.

Second I'm going to release some ladybugs to pick up anything that's left over.

Hrmmm, it didn't kill the ladybugs I had already released. Think it was enough? There was a considerable amount of frost on the regulator.
