I'm pretty sure you can use it any time. Make sure to do a little research, though. Some pesticides need to be applied in direct sun for certain things to trigger. Some need to be applied at night due to phyto reasons. I hope this helps.

Spinosad is safe to apply at any age... straight through harvest.... I would apply it just before lights out. Good luck!!

2 part, first I found a few black dots (picture added to this week) which I thought might be pests but didn't move - research says it could be catapiller droppings but can't find any of those - what else could they be? Second I did find a spider chilling assume he's good?

Ever since this grow i noticed fungus gnats flying around. I always put sticky traps down and would catch an adult every so often but always saw tons of little dots I thought was dust or fabric until I used my scope. I bought a product gnatrol and will try it. any suggestions
