Aphids found late in flowering
Looking closely at the week 11 photo, you can see aphids on one of the upper leaves. I removed all leaves that had them and gave the plant a light garlic concentrate to discourage further bugs. Should I just harvest now given that Im close to the end anyway? alternative ideas?

Bug control info needed for outdoors
Could you please suggest some safe bug killer powders or solutions for Cannabis plants growing outdoors. I have not found the bugs that are making little round holes in the leaves. No aphids or spider mites visible. I live on east coast of Canada, if that information is helpful.

Wish my issue had a category lol. All my buds have been seeded to some extent and therefore will effect how the buds ripen. I want to know how much seeding alters my harvest timeline, and can I still look at trich's for bud ripeness as the pistils are orange with clear trich's.

I found 2 fungus gnats on one of my sticky traps. Is a couple of them a major cause for concern? I can't see any moving around. Both of the pots in the tent are currently closer to on the dry side. Should I take any preventative measures?

creepy crawlies
I got creepy crawlies. Clipped the entire leaf, mixed abt 3 drops of neem oil in 100-150ml tap water and sprayed the f*ck out of it. Then I checked the rest of my plants, found nothing but decided to spray them anyway. When should I re-apply? Any adverse effects of neem oil?

I think 18" was a bit too much for the plants and has affected the growth rate. Do you think these are stunted? Also do you think that the yellowing is because of the light? or other issues such as PH (unknown)?

Pests
Spider mites? Aphids? What would be causing these bites? Is it too late to continue using neem oil since they’re already starting to flower? Should I use BT spray instead? Thanks.

best leaf insects repellent
I have found a few bad insects on my plants past weeks. Does anyone have experience with neem oil? Is it worth a try or would I be better of buying something else? White vinegar with dishsoap didn't help much. The bugs are: grasshoppers, stinkbugs, spidermites & fungus gnats.

Is this Fungus Gnat Larvae?
Found these little suckers in the DWC roots, sprayed some 1:4 peroxide/water solution all around, and tried to flush the roots too. Now I'm letting the roots soak in just water & hydro guard for now (ran out of peroxide). Thoughts

Smoked 'pillars
If I accidentally mull up and smoke a caterpillar that's been eating weed it's whole life, is that like eating the worm in the bottom of a tequila bottle?
