1st time grower here , growing Blue Dream outside . I week until chop and I just noticed this bastard today and these other white flecks on one of my main colas ! I have 12 other plants but didn’t notice on the others and it wasn’t like this last night . I know not much I can do being in flower and so close to chop . Can anyone tell me what this is and any recommendations? Chopping this weekend , obviously I’ll need to do a bud wash but anything else ?? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/6/a/06aced398cc653e309c9ecc736d25b0ddf412116.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/9/3/c939aade401c6e8227a0632bb1824edf306a2b29.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/f/b/0fb0453bf7e2e3e66894ef13df80c644301b02ed.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/e/d/9/ed980924014c168531d4be9690a5ff8ca65cd146.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/c/f/8cfbe41f937faf8be2dc5764c9d2fc59c5195903.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/4/3/f43a5896b1a32359b26238b3a3a645dba4acae3a.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/f/2/af2f3c71b38ae86190ca426acf6e43fcb58cf448.jpeg) ---

Difficult to say for sure on size. Could be aphids, could be thrips. Thoroughly apply Captain Jacks Deadbug and it should take care of them to death… ☠ ---

If you’re chopping I would do a peroxide wash, and not worry about it. I would continue with the delivery, you’ll need it for the next grow. ---

I just found some captain Jack’s locally and getting ready to use it . I just wanted to make sure it’s ok to spray the budz and the entire plant, correct ? I just don’t want to do it wrong and ruin everything 6 days before chop ! So just saturate the entire plant , underside of leaves , budz and everything right ? ---

Yes. Safe to use into flowering up to the last two weeks before harvest. It’s a special bacteria that kills bugs from the inside out, but doesn’t hurt us. Yes apply everywhere. Particularly under leaves, and on top. Adjoining leaves and stems too. ---

Oh ok , Im less than 2 weeks to harvest , I was going to chop in 6 more days so I either need to wait or not spray ? ---

Correct. If you do plan to continue growing next year or dropping another seed after Chopping, you’ll still need this. ---

Likely not in 2 weeks. Don’t forget to do a bud wash. ---

Yeah I was planning on doing a wash . Does a bud wash remove a lot of the trichs or effect the quality of the budz ? ---

Potency and trichomes are not lost. Just gets rid of mold, dust and insects. ---

Either way, just harvest if they are ready and wash the buds as good as possible. I would not be using pesticides that late in the game. @Newbe1kenobi ---
