krenoimeanswered grow question 4 years ago You probably wont get rid of all of them, and its fine. Just try to control their population so they dont blow up and infest your plant completely. Luckily they usually go for the leaves and leave buds alone. I used insecticide soap to treat them and it was an ongoing battle right till harvest. Dont use ladybugs or lacewing larvae its a waste of money and you will have a house full of insects when they start roaming around. You can always wash the buds after harvesting them to wash off any insecticide soap. Dunno about neem oil since its way harder to wash off, i just know that you should avoid spraying buds. Take your time when you apply spray, be thorough, spray the undersides of leaves as well. Use your hands and gently rub the leaves to apply even coating of insecticide. If you have large grow try different methods since the hand technique is a huge time pit.
