IPM question: Which of these 10 do I need to stop applying in flower (and when)?

Never ever ever spray your buds. I use gnatrol for fungus gnats. Never had thrips, been growing for decades. Guess I'm lucky.

So lets update this list and add:

11. BTI (I assumed this is the same asBeauveria bassiana/Metarhizium anisopliae but I guess thats wrong now?)
12. Conola oil
13. Citric acid

And the questions remains: should all of these not be applied in flower? or which ones are safe to apply?

14. Sesame oil

Sesame oil is the active ingredient in Organacide 3 in 1.

Pyrethrin is deadly poisonous.Look at @xtsho formula for citric acid foliar.I believe.its 2 teaspoons per gal to be applied in low light.GL

2 tsp per quart. Should be tested on a small part before using on entire plant. It can cause leaf damage if too strong. Kills bugs dead on contact. Not to be applied under lights.

Canola oil could be replaced by any vegetable oil. Cheers!

So some of these 14 are safe too apply in flowering right? Such as:
Water
BTI
Citric Acid

BTI stands for Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis and is a bacteria that infects the guts of larvae like mosquitos to kill. It's used for mosquito control around cities using airplanes to spray it or added to the soil in your pots to kill fungus gnat larvae. If sprayed alone with just water on flowering plants it might be OK. Harmless to humans if eaten or inhaled but not sure about if smoked.

I wouldn't spray canola oil on flowering plants. You'd be smoking it later and it would taste crappy if not be dangerous.

I've never used citric acid but it's not sprayed alone I don't think.

Almost anything sprayed on buds will be there in the final product. I once sprayed insecticidal soap on part of a plant 3 weeks from flipping to 12/12 and the finished buds from the sprayed area tasted horrible after cropping and curing.

Like the old adage, An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Update: 28.35g of prevention s worth 454g of cure.
