Would Spinosad be the best and safe method for black aphids?

I had these little pricks on my leaves a few weeks ago. I cut off the leaves and now there on my small sugar leaves at the buds. I read that spraying with water works but they will be back after the eggs hatch. I got a few more weeks before harvest and want to get this under control. I appreciate your help if anyone has dealt with these little sob’s

It is. Capt Jacks Deadbug is a spinosad product that is very effective and is safe for use during flowering.

This product here is a 3way. Sample bottle makes 1 gallon. Free ship. Works great for me. I use it as a preventative but it destroys gnats very well. 1 of its properties.

When fighting pests I like to alternate between Captain Jack’s and Safer. That covers two different bacterial strains (spinosad and BtK). That covers the bases nicely.

Sounds good + works for powdery mildew. I don’t have it locally but lowe’s has Earth’s Ally that has the same ingredients and % of oils as Growers Ally. I’ll probably grab some of that too. Since I don’t smoke like I used to I’m starting to think it would be a lot cheaper to just buy some bud. But it is fun to grow. :sunglasses:

Thanks, Lowe’s has a Safer 3 in 1 spray. There are quite a few different ones out there. Is there a particular one you were talking about? @Myfriendis410

‘Safer Caterpillar Killer’ is the product I’m talking about. I would buy the concentrate and mix.
