I have bugs under my leaves. I cut off the most infected…but seem to be in sugar leaves and on other leaves as well. I plan to bud wash once I harvest…how can I get rid of now??? About 2-4 weeks from harvest, I have 3 plants, one worse than others. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/a/6/1a695fc33625792a950e6b6be41cfafe0b6afc67.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/1/f/81f4c5933441ffcc1cd485033b72a5a6e2ae27b0.jpeg) ---

I’m growing my plant outdoors for the first time, and I’ve been spraying with captain jacks dead bug every 3 or 4 days. They haven’t started flowering yet, but so far, no bugs. ---

Spray from 12-18” away, top and underside of leaves…, best to spray after sundown, when the leaves have cooled down. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/d/d/a/dda41dcd511d8ac30a8a1e0d7f94beb39df4c114.jpeg) ---

Hey, could try Praying Mantis, or Lady Bug’s ~ they only eat bad bug’s,not your hard worked for Product, I have a acute disdain For chemicals, the OL Lady made a mixture of blue Dawn dish soap, 2 tsp per quart, couple drops of vegetable oil , mix it for 1 gal water what it does to the pest the oil sticks to the bug , the soap will dry it out only thing is do not apply with full sun on your plants wait for sun to move It will burn your plants or before a rain you will have to reapply. Within 1~2 minutes, I use it on the whole garden, absolutely 0 Problems, I don’t know how it would react to cannabis though, I Certainly wish you the very best of luck , I have NEVER seen bug’s Like those before, ---

Jacks Deadbug is safe to use all the way to harvest. Just be sure to do a bud wash after the chop. 😁 ---

If you decide to use predators instead of sprays ladybugs are probably the best choice and fairly inexpensive. I think you can even get them on amazon now. Anyway that would be my predator choice for aphids ---

GH hydroponics Exile kills them in one spray. You really want to see something? Put ladybugs on the plant as Aphids are there preferred food. Then get a magnifier and watch them destroy the aphids.
