Hello, I have 3 plants that are nearing the end of their flowering, but I have some scale insects. Do you know how to get rid of them without harming my harvest? Thanks!

You can pick up either some Dr. Zymes Eliminator or any insecticide that has Spinosad in it ... both are organic and can be used while the plant is in flower.... Good luck!

Hey. If you're that far into flowering, unfortunately, you have to take precautions and crush them. You can also use a compressor with the blower nozzle and give a few bursts to clean your plants as best as possible. After cutting, you can also soak the whole plant in a bath of water and peroxide. In any case, it's not great, but the pests aren't great either. I hope the infestation isn't too severe.

Hi there. You are outdoor right? I battled them a couple of years ago and in veg, i was using a mix of h2o2, h2o and dishwash soap. Spraying all over but damn they are stubborn so i had to practically keep doing it the whole grow, once a week. In flower its gets harder. So i was using a milder mixture of h2o2 and h2o only and spraying on affected leaves. Then comes the hard part, i was also individually taking them out of buds, leaves by hand and then wiping with that solution where i could. Girls managed to finish and smoke was ok. Then i set out to find the source before next grow as it is likely that there is a plant nearby your grow area that has them a lot. For me it was my neighbour's tree with two big branches hanging in my yard full of them...i went there and asked for permission to bring the whole tree down. I was fine for a couple of years after that and now i have moved to indoor growing only, honestly where i live, its a daily battle with pests so thats why.
