No problem. Just a couple bugs. Looks like aphids. Give the plant a good dunk in water, just the top, not the pot and all, and knock off as many as you can. Your far enough into flower where it won't affect your yield. For that same reason stay away from poisons.

Cheers mate! is that the general concencus? When you say dunk in water will that not cause bud rot?

Keep a fan on them until dry. Or, just kill the bugs by hand if your worried about/have had problems with rot. I dunk mine three quick dunks in a garbage can, for whiteflies though.

they are afids, if you can find them put about 1500 lady bugs on them. in a week they will be under control. Afids are ladybugs #1 food source.

They dont eat BUD however they can get stuck in resin and tri's

yeah lady bugs will eat those suckas no problem. best thing about lady bugs is when they are done eating you can suck em up with a hand held vaccume cleaner and throw the bag in the freezer, save em for later wont hurt em a bit!!

Yeah, I recently found a spider hanging from a leaf, and decided not to kill him. I believe that I should leave him, because he will eat gnats and other pests right?

You can store ladybugs in a refrigerator if you have enough of them, Though not indefinitely. If you do it correctly they will hibernate. Freezing your ladybugs will kill them. As far as I know there is only one type of bug that you can freeze and will thaw out years and years and years later.
