Howdy crew,
I am doing an outdoor grow and I have a currently mild issue with aphids. I have killed what I saw, but I am wondering if I can use the insecticidal soap while my plants are flowering?
I have a bubblegum and blueberry autos that are at the same stage. I have some other plants that are just starting to flower.
Capt. Jack’s Deadbug is safe for all stages of growth.

Yes its just Potassium Salts of Fatty Acids and OMRI listed for up to day of harvest.
As is Capt Jacks Dead Bug.
Do plan on a bud wash as you are outdoors and now using an organic insecticide. So search “Bud Wash” in the upper right of the page, and enjoy the Saturday Educational Rabbithole.

Dead bug wont kill aphids. Neem will but cant use during flower. Ive used dr brommers oil soap on flowering plants it was barely effective with no bad affects on the finished plant. And the peppermint deters other pesta. The most effective is ladybugs. They will eat up the aphids and everything else and when the food runs out they will move on. We use only ladydugs now on inside grows.

Dead bug has killed all my aphids every time I catch them
A great product you can use all the way up till harvest is Growers Ally Crop Defender 3. It’s an organic spray with oil. Crop Defender 3 is a fungicide. miticide, and insecticide all in one. I’ve used Growers Ally on all my grows with great results. They have two mix ratios depending on if it’s a preventative or a infection. I’ve included a link to the product.

We use Lost Coast. Won’t sing it’s praises quite yet because we have the worse case of Aphids ever inside our grow tent right now, due to negligence on our part. Spraying the M.F out of those tents, eliminating the worst affected of the plants. Will post ravings about Lost Coast just as soon as they’re all

Hey there I saw your post and was wondering if you had ever tried Kopa Soap? Its an organic insecticidal soap safe for use up until right before harvest. Its just fatty acids that break down after a short time and degrade making it safe. Much luck on your grow
