I’m not sure mate . I’m really apprehensive to spray anything on them while heavily into flower . Cheers ???
if before 3/4 week of bloom stage, I suggest using a good ipm of bio controls + knockout ( if pest present , otherwise just biocontrol )
the issue with people applying “knockouts” and tradional miticides/pesticides is the resistant gain but also cost and even stress on plant. i would caution any grower who depends on any tradional pesticide or way and only applying when they see it ( besides last weeks if ur not at high population of pest )
‘’even if your plants currently are over that stage, if it was me I would have my IPM plan going for next round and always ! pest are like std’s, once u got em there a bitch but protection def will raise the bar of it ever becoming a issue.
for knockout suggestion before 3/4th week ( if pest present ) I would suggest rotational going 2-3 diff products and the bio controls added to the defense ( majority can be added )
for cost and effective on IPM knockout I would suggest evergreen 5.0. conserve sc than making a diy version of green cleaner . To make a diy version of green cleaner (1/3 70% iso + bronzers sals soap + canola oil , shake before mixing into water, 1/2 oz-2 oz per gal and wait 15 min to let dissolve, the green cleaner is only product I would not suggest mixing others with it )
key with this knock/bio is Rotional spraying at egg hatch rate and ‘pest suggestion rates For the specific pest. Example two spot/mites it’s 3 days
IPM plan for two spot : ipm1 :evergreen 5.0 + grandevo , 3 days spray ipm2 conserve sc + venerate , 3 days later ipm3 apply green cleaner (by itself ). I woild suggest to scope/scan your leafs after everyday-3days than every week once population check misc and obvious infections. If infection goes to under 10% or none only apply biocontrols and pest scan afterwards. Otherwise continue back to ipm1 and make sure pest is going away. than after 3/4th week of bloom only Grandevo/venerate . Key is never letting pest have that gain while ur blind.
reason why I don’t suggest just one option is pest become resistant and diff stages or species def won’t be eliminated with one product. therefor in a infection I would always suggest spraying the pest based in hatch time and doing a multi IPM rotation .

beyond 3/4th week you really should avoid any tradional based pesticide that isn’t approved and tested for flower stage for cannabis . best example of IPM in flower stage and can be anytime you can use a biocontrol like Grandevo/venerate ( rotate each product every 7-14 days) and this ipm plan will not only guratee your pest free but if one does come into enviroment everything that’s foliarEd has a defense ( biocontrol, which it’s a killed/heated fungus that when pest smells and than eats it, it will kill them, slow them down , and not allow to reproduce as quickly )
the reason for two biocontrols and used at diff spray rational is not the resistant issues it’s the pest becoming more attracted or willing to eat ur plants over the fungus. think of anyone or thing, if you eat the same thing and even if it was ur favorite thing. If you have other food choices, wouldn’t u eat some? that’s why u use terp attracted fungus like Grandevo and venerate ( they don’t ever become bored and it fucks em up )
per gallon price of bio controls is fantastic and it makes it a cemented IPM that not only doesn’t have resistant issues but if you don’t see any pest by 3/4 week before flower you can stop none the less just to save cash. When you do not see pest you can also have it at lowest dosage and its very interesting the dosages only is a factor of smell and attraction vs how much it will kill them. both products Inless over population infection can knock out and if sprayed fully on all parts of plant , one of the biggest mistakes on sprayers is also having the s-rather do jet mode/droplets cause the key with any foliar is full coverage ( since not systemic)
Side tip on Grandevo/venerate i would always suggest getting bigger bottles ( quart& gallon vs 2.5 ) I would always suggest the 2.5 gal because it’s 30%+ cheaper . product is great per gallon and also has great shelf life. Hard to beat a product where it’s harmless to you, can be used tillharvest , won’t hurt bees & can kill and defend 150+ diff soft bodied bugs including russets and broad!

edit: I didn’t realize till now I already gave u IPM suggestion. just trying to help I wrote this)
good general IPM info none the less lol
for aphids a mix of Grandevo or venerate with some botaniguard and there done. all flower-end harvest approved. Aphids indoors are super easy to kill out, they don’t have Allie’s like ants and the enviroment to colony in as easy
