I don't see why not. They usually come naturally in most ewc/ compost anyways.

No insects become immune using straight PYRETHRIN. It's INSTANT KILLING POWER.

Yes. Predator mites can be used anytime. It's actually probably the best thing to use since you're in flower.

Got some. Little buggers are scurrying about like mental.
Tried spinosad on one plant but it killed all the orange hairs so guess it’s no good for flower?

Awesome.
You really don't want to spray anything on them in flower. Maybe citric acid, but that's about it.

just make sure you water the milh down to 20:1. but i wouldent use any form of liquid during flowering, your leaving yourslf open to bud rot. stick to prediters and your safe

Finally you asked what i am doing, instead of telling me what not to do...well done.
My last test mix was a 1:8 milk/water on buds 17d into flower
36hrs after spray

Early to mid flower, with a lot of air movement, isn't so bad, but anything past mid flower, I'd just stick to predatories, imo. Bud rot sucks!

You haven't used Organic Pyrethrin ? I'm so happy too hear you using ladybugs. If you have aphids they'll tear them up, especially the larvae. 3rd generation with aphids grow wings and fly away too infect someone elses plants. Ants milk them like cows !
