In week 12 of the diary I show the continued issue...

Yes this is a type of aphids. 5.) Spinosad Spinosad Products (safe & organic) – Spinosad products are organic and completely harmless to pets, children, and plants. Spinosad products can be used directly to kill aphids on contact and should be sprayed liberally anywhere you see aphids and especially under the leaves. Although maybe not as strong against pests as some of the more harsh insecticides, it does work and it’s very safe for plants, animals and humans! Recommended: Monterey Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad Spinosad is an organic insecticide made from the fermentation of a specific soil bacteria (actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa) and kills aphids via ingestion or contact by effecting the insect’s nervous system. Spinosad can be a good choice for organic and outdoor growers, because it is very toxic to aphids, but is less toxic to many beneficial insects and spiders. Note: Most spinosad products are effective for only about 24 hours after being mixed with water, so only mix as much as you will need per application. Anything left over will be waste. You will need a mister (also called a “One-Hand Pressure Sprayer”) to cover all the leaves evenly when spraying them with spinosad products.

Hi @HazeyBobby! Yes it could be some sort of aphids, they're common in the great outdoor. In this situation I would let the medium dry, spray a solution made of neem oil, soap, and crushed garlic diluted in water onto and below the leaves. Spray at night everywhere before the buds start to fatten up. Do not water until the medium is fully dry (to kill the eggs). Once your medium will be dry, spray the container and its surface with the same solution. Stop spraying as soon as buds start to expand (time is running!). Hope this will help, let us know how this goes, and happy growing! 👊
