So I posted in another section some bugs I found. Some said thrip others said spider mites......well the problem wasn't getting better with neem and soap. I am on week 4 of flower and couldn't find doktor doom by me. I search high and low, near and a little further. Nothing. I looked at foggers I control and spending $150 wasn't in the cards right now. I saw the active ingredients and found this with the same stuff just half the dose. The half life on both are less than a day with UV and I figured I would try it. Bought some insecticide soap too for maintenance. Did I royally screw up or should I be ok since I have another 4-5 weeks minimum of flower? I may have to hit the tent up one more time this week just to be sure it got them all but it was a fine miat spray. Was hoping for a fog where I set and close the door but nothing like that unless it was something harmful. Opinions welcomed please.

NukeEm by Flying Skull or Dr Zymes.

I wouldn't use anything that contains pyrethrins.

Active ingredient in Nuke Em is citric acid. The only active ingredient. It's expensive but it works. Kiss your pistils goodbye but it won't matter.

So am I just being naive thinking others used the product Doktor Doom before with the same ingredients and had no issue? This is a legit question though. I don't have the experience others do and turn to this group with other research for help and guidance and if this will make me or someone I share with sick, I need to know. I am not saying this needs to be the "perfect" product, it's personal use but if it does the trick and doesn't leave chemicals that are toxic, can stuff still be used?

It's a natural Pyrethrin vs synthetic Permethrin, so the half life in soil and foliar is shorter.
10-14 days in light for foliar, 30+ days in soil.
