It depends on what types of bugs your dealing with and what stage of life your plants are in, what environment, etc.

Monterey B.t. (kurstaki subspecies) I wouldnt spray too far into flower though, But good to knock down any populations before flowering...
or Neem Oil
The b.t. is not a kill on contact spray... it coats the leaves and the bugs will ingest it the next time they try eating the leaves.. Great for caterpillars which are concern, for me anyways, once flowering starts.

THey may sell it in CA under a different brand, look for that active ingredient (the actual "B.t" or "bacillis thuringiensis")
If not, well that's unfortunate. Ill ask around if any of my canuck "buddies" know of something you can use. Let you know if I hear anything.
You can promote good bugs to survive, and kill any bad ones... So kill any leafhoppers you see... and let any lady bugs, green lacewing and spiders live... That sort of thing in the meantime..
Im sure you can buy ladybugs in CA to release, they're relatively cheap and are great companion bugs for growers..
There are insecticidal soaps that are organic and will work on leaf hoppers as well.. Try searching specifically for leafhopper control solutions.

You can order neem from essential oils Canada online. Seemed to help with the leaf hoppers for me.

the safers has neem oil in it or at least the one I currently have does, I was just wondering if it would be alright to put on the plant now during flower which i am currently on week 3 of.
currently i just have some sticky stiks which i've made some alterations to that I am using

Marrone Bio's CG line is approved for use through the entire grow cycle.
I would not use Neem or any oil based products in flower.

I would never use neem since it has been linked to chronic cyclical vomiting. Rosemary and/ or thyme oil mixed with pure castle soap works like safers 3 in 1. Way better option than neem. I have aphids and leaf fungus and am outdoors and have been using 3 in 1, and will be spraying them again tonight. Spray immediately before dark because light causes problems. Make sure and spray the bottom of the leaves and avoid the flowers. Sometimes you have to spray during flower when bugs or fungus are bad. Try to rinse them off with pure clean water a week or so before harvest. You may have to do an alcohol extraction and run it through filters if there's any residual taste when test smoking. Like most say, you shouldn't be spraying anything in bud when tricomes are forming, but nature is fickle. Hope that helps.

No neem listed in this one. Since neem was linked to chronic cyclical vomiting, those in the know won't touch it.

It’s only good as a preventative as once u have PM it does nothing.
