Okay we had aphids during veg and used a Bonide tomato & veg spray. Worked great, thought we had them. Just moved over to Flower and 2nd week and they are back, not as bad? This spray is organic so would it be okay to use? These bastards are like Jason from the Halloween movies, they wont die. Or what about neem oil? HELP, I dont want to lose this crop.
Help -- Jason is back

I would try ladybugs before spraying anything (other than water). When you spray, it's tough to know if you've gotten them 100% gone, but I figure predatory bugs, especially ones than can fly, will seek them out in all the hidden places you don't know they're at.
Is it okay to spray with Bonide Tomato & Vegetable spray in Flower? There web site talks about using this product on Vegetables and fruits up until Day before picking. Couldn't find anything on using it on cannabis. I can spray with Bonide and then will spray down plants with water once they are gone.
Or is it time to bag them and tag them?

Read the second replay above. The answer is no, it isn't okay. Seek other remedies that don't involve spraying products on your buds.

Don't use that Bonide. Just spray the plants off with water. Aphids wash away easily. It doesn't take drastic measures to get rid of them.
After a long battle with aphids in veg, (thought we eliminated) and they came back when moved to flower. We ended up removing all of the plants, containers including the dirt and dumped everything outside. Gave the room and equipment a mega clean. Veg room clean, flower room clean. Let the grows continue

Growsafe is a great for bugs and fungus and should be used as a preventative as well. 2oz per gallon. You can spray in flower if you have to just try to avoid the flowers.

“Predators (which may consume all or parts of aphids) include green and brown lacewings, lady beetles, hover flies, midges, bigeyed bugs, damsel bugs, soldier beetles, and blister beetles. In many cases, both adults and larvae (or nymphs) feed on aphids.”
Green lacewings available below.

Green Lacewing are an exceptional addition to any IPM (Integrated Pest Management) program. Cost effective and a great generalist, the adults are also excellent pollinators. Green Lacewing larvae are voracious predators of the eggs and immature stages of many soft bodied insect pests, including...

“Are lacewings better than ladybugs?
Lacewings may not be icons like ladybugs, but they can eat soft-bodied insects 20 times faster. Lacewing eggs — 1,000 fit in a pea — will hatch quickly, and because they lack wings, they will stay put in vegetable beds or in container plantings.”
Buy lacewing eggs on Amazon. Very affordable.
