Sprays during flower?

[steveydvee]

Been spraying neem oil once a week for the past 4 weeks. But going on the second week of flower and buds are starting to form and resin is noticeable so that tells me to stop my oil sprays.. What is something I can use for sprays during week 2 to week 4-5 of flower that isn't oil based? Pyrethrins? I've quite literally been hit with aphids, thrips, fungus gnats, and spider mites all in different grows but I wasn't this diligent with my control. So far no pest issues but just wanting to make sure if I don't see them I'm setting them back.

Planning on getting some hypoapsis miles, rove beetles for the soil control. Then Californicus predator mites for the foliage for the weeks when the buds are growing too dense for foliars. Introduced these guys in the previous cycle so some are still around I'm sure.

Dont spray buds in flower

If you have been spraying for 4 weeks they should be dead as long as u did walls, floor, etc

You should be able to spray ~3 weeks into flower (after the flip). At that point, hopefully those plants make it the rest of the way with no issues. The neem stays on the plant for a while after spraying it.

I'm lazy, so I use H2O2, breaks down into water and O2

Is that something that works well with pest control during flowering?

Yes, but it can damage the leaves

I've used citric acid mixed with water to spray a plant deep into flower that was presenting PM, also rinsed the buds in a what're and hydrogen peroxide bath at harvest.

No I'll effects as far as I can tell and the bud smokes and tastes exactly as it should.

Someone said to use spinosad all the way to 2 weeks before harvest... I have no clue but I may try that
I have used the bud wash last harvest. It was amazing how bright and beautiful they were and also how much dirt and stuff came out of them!
