Hello I've tried this on plants in veg and on my cactus, works great, kills' everything. But I haven't had to try it on flowering plants, yet. So my concern is: will it melt the THC crystals? It would be easy to test it on your lower bud sites. Spray and catch the run off, let it dry. See then if it's sticky at all. It should have only the smallest of dish soap reside. The mix is : Water and isopropanol alcohol 50% to 50% or half and half and about 4 or 5 drops of dish soap. Good Luck. Chuck.

Hi, by the fourth week you still have time to spray something effective. Try looking for nettle macerate mix spray, a good product won't pollute the smell of your buds. Of course, you need to wash your buds before drying them. Bro, it would be polite for you to close your previous question by selecting the grower who gave you the best advice. Cheers 👊

I'm a noob, haven't even got to flower a plant yet, but I've heard of cold water for mites, www.youtube.com/watch awesome video for mites in general, but isn't about budding cannabis or cold water its regarding Iso solution. but a few treatments of really cold water, I've heard with the technique in the video for the rest of the plant but since you might have negative effects. I wouldn't trust the cold water thing alone, but who knows what options you have just thought I'd mention it. also don't people kinda judge by how bad it is and how close to harvest again idk if you can keep it below infestation and webbing by manually killing and removing leaves you might get through it, video is great and through time consuming but effective at removing everything from leaves, stems, again no idea how it'd work on bud. Sorry that happened gl think I've also heard of neem at start of flowering i forget how far in, but obviously could effect taste and smell I guess again no personal experience id be tempted to even just use maybe PH to a level mites would hate, and paint brush, or tooth brush all my nugs and then use the iso solution for your leaves stems, soil?
