This is the long version, for the short version go straight to the last paragraph. Thanks
Ok so i have been growing awhile now and to the credit of my good practices i have yet to have any pest problems. That all changed last night, I was tending to the ladies and noticed a small moving spec on trhe underside of a leaf, then i found more, not quite a full blown infestation and the plants still look great for the most part but there is deffinetly a pest presence in there.
The specks are SMALL, i threw the 30x scope over one and i can still barely make it out, there green in color and look almost like a REALLY tiny aphid, but i can't find any large aphids like i'm used to seeing on the veggies outside. So maybe it's spidermites but no webs if it is.
I broke my camera the other day or i would post some pics, I went to the store and got some RTU neem oil, insecticidal soap mix called Bon-neem as it was the only neem product i could find at the store and my hydro shop is quite a drive but when i called i was told neem would work be it aphids or mites.
Now i have some 2' tall vegging plants aswell as some LR2 thats about 3 weeks out from harvest, Can i safely use the neem oil and insecticidal soap mix this close to harvest? If not i think i'm fucked as i don't think i will ever be able to kill em all if i can't spray some of my plants. I'm sure i could give them afew showers between now and harvest to rinse away any residue but that is certainly not my first choice due to the risk of bud rot. Please tell me if it's safe to use this close to harvest, i go to war at 10pm tonight so any advice i can get before then would be great.
Thanks for the help
