I hope this photo shows up.
This is a Blue Dream and a Norther Lights and I think these are the healthiest looking plants I have ever grown in my two years experience lol. Any organic bug spray suggestions btw?

I believe @Caligurl may know of some organic pest combatants. A lot of growers use something like Captain Jacks Dead Bug Brew, or other products containing spinosad. It’s best to go with 2 or 3 different types so any pests don’t build a resilience. Be sure to get something that is safe for flowers/fruit. CJDBB is safe until the day you harvest, and rinses away with a bud wash.
If, and I mean IF, you use neem oil, or peppermint oil, or some kind of oil, or oil based product, DO NOT use it on the plants during flower. Most oils are absorbed into the buds and can’t be washed or rinsed away at harvest.
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing!!!

Heck yeah that helped, thanks! I had heard about the neem oil but didn’t plan on using that. Thanks again!

Hey John thanks for the info. I will check out some web sites. I’d like to have them around we grow a ton of flowers outside in the summer and a few tomatoes and cucumber vines. I know they eat aphids. I’m getting ready to get some red wigglers for a compost bin I started a few months ago.

Spinosad is actually a natural bacterial insecticide. Story is it was growing in an old rum still when it was discovered and found out it would kill garden pests but not harm plants.
