Hey! These are thrips. These little insects are generally well controlled. Your plants are already at the end of flowering, so you can't control them with a biological agent anymore. Make better use of the natural enemy by releasing predatory bugs. This is especially effective when the cannabis plants are already in bloom. You can order predatory bugs online, but better garden centers sell them too. You place the bugs on the infested plant and then they go hunting. Besides, they also thrive on spider mites and aphids. Neem oil is also effective in combating thrips. You can use the extract of this oil on flowering plants, but make sure not to spray the buds of the cannabis plant. A mixture of neem oil is only used on the leaves of the plants. You make a brew of 0.5 liters of water, 7-8 milliliters of oil, and a little bit of liquid soap. Spray both the underside and the top of the leaves. This thrip is already mature, so the chance that there are more is high. I hope I could help you with this. And you harvest your plant as soon as possible, I would say! Good luck and enjoy it! πŸ‘Œ 🌱

Luckily it looks like you're close to harvest so your plants shouldn't be affected much. Look up bud washing and the 3 bucket method. Seems crazy but none of the good stuff will dissolve in water so you have nothing to worry about. This will remove any bugs, fecal matter, fabric fibers, etc. Basically it will remove anything you don't want to smoke. Beautiful plants!

He won't eat much! He is probably thinking, just like me, if you don't harvest these buds soon, they will be dead. In fact by this stage most of the THC has been or is being, broken down into CBD and CBN, producing heavy, couch locking and sleepy dope because by this time the THC peak has well and truly passed. If you prefer uplifting and happy pot, harvest should have happened two weeks ago. Each to their own. Enjoy! Regards, ... Organoman.
