Pests

NEVER spray flowering plants with anything...........NO MATTER how safe they claim to be. Miticides like yours may not be effective against aphids anyhow. m0use is also correct in saying aphids give birth to live young and only rarely lay eggs, generally only in cold winters. The best idea, seeing as how you only have one smallish plant, is to wipe them off/squash them with a damp cloth. Otherwise, predator bugs can really help.

Depends on the active ingredient, which isn't listed. 1% coriander oil, 94% canola oil, and 5% Triethanolamine. I don't know about that.. the oil is mostly useless even if it annoys the insects, lol. Not suae about the triethanolamine... wiki doesn't even list pesticide as an application. An 'all natural' option are pyrethrinees... those kill on contact. Like this product, i'd buy a concentrate that you mix for yourself. the pre-diluted spray bottles are not as cost-effective. The key here is not marketing terms like 'natural'... they key is how fast it breaks down and whether or not any residual is safe to burn and inhale etc... 'organic' or 'natural' doesn't necessarily correlate to any of that. Each molecule used needs to be assessed on an individual case. if an 'inorganic' compound breaks down to nothing concerning in a matter of days, it's the best option regarldess of the peanut gallery's feelings on the advertising terms organic vs inorganic, lol. I wouldn't recommend spraying anything on the flowers... but at least this stuff has a short half-life. There's nothing that will be effective and safe to spray on something you'll smoke later.. that's just not realistic. 'food safe' doesn't mean it's safe for something you later burn and inhale, either -- or extract with solvent or vape. if you do use a foliar spray, cover the flower as best you can as you do it... google 'half-life' of the active ingredient.. can't assume things.. e.g. pyrethrines have a half life of 48 hours, if i recall.. so every 2 days half of it remains... which after 2 weeks is 0.7% ... seems small but may still be dangerous. That concern will vary by molecule, too.. some may need to get to .00000001% to be safe and others may just need to get below 1% etc etc... depends on the molecule in question not whether or not it is "organic' or "natural." Cyanide is "natural" ... CO2 is inorganic, yet the carbon the plant gets from it is the backbone for nearly every molecule it builds. There's a tone of false perceptions and extrapolations from the advertising terms "organic" and "natural".

ladybugs are cool, if you go that route just be sure to put a filter on your exhaust fan. i learned that the hard way. I only had ladybugs my first grow. I mistook soil mites for aphids and freaked out and bought ladybugs. lol

The best way is to buy predictors like ladybugs these will munch the lot of them or if not Soap and water strayed on the leaves but not the buds if you can help it works well. Good luck

also aphids rarely lay eggs. They give live cloned birth. So might not be aphids. May need to re-identify the pest or take pics of it to get help identifying it. www.youtube.com/watch But good advice if it is aphids down below. they can be blasted off with water. and in veg soap and water kills em outright, think dawn or sunlight any dish detergent.

Don't use anything in bloom + Don't trust anything the brand says about safe for consumption as they are full of shit. the dash then to humans is weird and sus. "his is our favorite remedy for mites. It works mechanically – by suffocating them with an ultra-thin film of special oil. Completely safe – to humans." The only thing that is safe in bloom is predator insects. Other bugs to eat the shity ones. Spraying anything especially an oil if going to go into the buds and not come out. Its not great for smoking or processing. Best option if you cant get predator bugs is a high power jet of water and spraying as many of the fuckers off as you can. but make sure the plants dry well or bug rot will follow. I find its best to use IPM "integrated pest management" in the veg stage when plants can be sprayed for mites and whatnot. then it has a less chance of affecting you in flower.

you don't need anything crazy for aphids. Water pressure is enough. You never just want to spray the shit out of anything, even if the product says its good or safe or whatever. are you sure they are aphid eggs? You want to avoid spraying flower with anything at all costs. defeats the whole point of growing at home imo. If you wanted sprayed shit you could just go to the dispensary. it's your call I'm not judging you for whatever you need to do. try to think of some prevention methods too. Pest usually attack weaker plants(not ll the time) so maybe a sign of an underlying problem. you need to think less reactively and more proactively.
