I just noticed last night some little spots on the leaves. Should I worry about this? Using General hydroponics micro gro bloom with calmag and armor si. We did put some pest control around grow area but not on plants.

Looks like insect activity.
Check the undersides of the leaves.
“Capt’n Jacks Dead Bug” or any Spinosad" insecticide is a good safe choice for bug control.

I have used need oil on other plants in the past but will try and get what y’all have mentioned. Can it be applied anytime or anything specific to know to not harm plant?

@jambi1214 you should apply before dark on the top side and underside of each leaf with a pump sprayer for the concentrate you mix with water. Do that every night for 2-3 days and it should help a lot. Also spray the stalk and any other leads.

Dont use neem oil during flower… i would personally try jacks before neem anytime.

I second that. Neem ruins all good buds. The only way to use azadirachtin is to top dress Neem meal. It’s a nitrogen feed and does not ruin the buds this way.
Spinosad is a better choice.

I picked up a sample of organishield at canna con it it cleared up my spider mites and fungus gnats in no time.
Im using the fatty acid this year from General Hydroponics called Exile.
Combined with any oil based spray on a weekly IPM and so far so good.
Don’t know if the potassium in this product is the type used by the plant but my plants seem to love it.
Update: used Capitan jacks as mentioned above about a month ago and seemed all was improving
I think I’m having the same issue again. Ok to reapply? Thoughts? Thanks!!!
@jambi1214 you should be fine doesn’t look like she’s throwing hairs yet so still in stretch, I would definitely say give her a good dose of captain jacks!!

@ADK_Guerrila I sprayed last night then this morning realized that there are 2 plants with some hairs. Hope this won’t harm them?! Anything else I should do preemptively? Thanks!
Edit: it did rain a bit so possibly some was washed off
