Hello everyone! My girls are starting their 2nd week of flower (outside) and has a pest infestation. I’ve read about Capt. Jack’s, Safer, Neem oil and sprays w/Spinosad concentrate as well as treatments using alcohol, peroxide and ACV, but I want to be sure what I have first. So…what are these critters?!? Thanks all!
Aphids… I would use Captn Jacks Dead Bug but I’m tagging @Covertgrower for an expert opinion because I have never grown outdoors…

Great info…thanks! I’m also a first time grower so I am looking forward to participating in this forum. Got some Capt Jacks on the way. Based on some reading I’ve done here, I think I’ll alternate between using that and one or two of the other methods and hope I can save these girls! (I have another Jack Herer and a Northern Lights, also in flower) Thanks again, all!

In for bug page.
I’ve got shitty little tiny flying things. I think they are after my compost soil though, and not the plants, but not sure. Started with a few a couple months ago, but just started a closed grow tent and they have multiplied tremendously in there. The plants will start the stretch soon, so I’d like to kill them before the buds come. Captain Jack’s dead bug is on the way from Amazon, but I don’t know if it’s effective for whatever I have. Like fruit fly size.

@fano_man are these causing my bud rot?
Every plant I’ve grown has had this in 1 or 2 buds. This is the worst case of it (In my best plant so far too)
Would love to get rid of both at the same time.
Will captain Jack’s kill them?
I just picked up some Captain Jack’s my lights will be turning off in about 30 minutes are you haven’t mixed up and ready to spray I went out there a few minutes ago just to look and do an assessment I got my little magnifying glass and I see two kinds the two spider one and then a solid colored one I’m in big trouble Hope is Captain Jack’s works. I’ll get some pics here in a few minutes hang tight
Yes captain Jack’s will get rid of em… and because you have fungus gnats and bud rot I would assume you dont have your humidity in check and or your soil is holding moisture… what ever you do not be misting thick flower with anything… not even water…u can spritz peroxide if you got wpm but even then your humidity would be elevated to be getting wpm…do you have a humidity meter ?
@Jaydawg6528 you got 2 spotted spider mites? That’s not good …I highly advise against battling them… if you got a couple plants in veg with spidermites… its combateable… but a bunch if plants with spidermites… I’ll never battle them again… in strait scrapping everything and startingnover… I fought spidermites for 8 months and lost in the end…never again will I waste time like that
@fano_man are u talking to me or @Nothingshocking
@fano_man dont tell me that I will cry
I have 4 plant all in veg I was just getting ready to flip my lights when I noticed them lastnight. @fano_man
Top response was to other dude and second was to you @Jaydawg6528 … you said you have spidermite or you think you do?
@Grandaddy013 @Bogleg @Myfriendis410 do u guys agree with fanoman
