Bonide has some good organic products..Bonide 3 in 1 Rose RX "says" it kills spider mites, bud worm (eggs too) and powdery mildew and can be used up to the day of harvest.
The label also says it contains Neem oil.

just neem oil seems to work well Our plaants seem to like too. I had spider herpes this season for the first time. We sprayed everything at them . The neem oil worked. Hands down winner with us----------Narddog

LOL SPIDER HERPES> might as well be, also this product called organacide is pretty good till flowering as tis all organic, the downfall is it is made of fish scales and really reaks like fish.

when i used it the smell went away, but it does linger around for quite some time. My buds tasted good and smelled dank at the end of the day.

Spinosad is great, and you'll probably need it for budworms, getting those is almost guaranteed. harrmless to humans and most animals, and it dissipates after a few days. last year I had to spray it directly inside my buds and the harvest ws fine...no bad taste, residue or anything

Is Hot Shots okay to use during flowering? I'm in the same boat. Used several traetments: Neem oil, habanero spray, and an organic pesticide during veg. But I'm three weeks in and I've just been spot checking leaves with diluted 3% alcohol. But I have flowers and I dont wanna damage 'em.

Any oil like azamax can leave a buttery/rancid taste on flowers. Honestly nothing should be used after two weeks in flower. It would be wise to start a integrated pesticide management program. Use 3-4 pesticides with different modes of action and rotate them. I like to use Azamax 3 times 5-7 days apart, then avid 3 times 7 days apart then forbid or floramite 3 times every 7 days. I do this for two full cycles if I see mites or other bugs. And never in flower. I'd keep plants in veg longer if I see anything. Lower the pay of your spray water to below 7. 6 is better. High pH makes the pesticides less effective.
