I have spider mites, thrips, catipillars, and some i havnt identified yet. My plants are in flowering stage as well. Whats the best organic way to get rid of them without hurting the plant or its buds. Was thinking about using Neem oil.... any opinions?
Any comments are appreciated!

put a drop of organic soap into a spray bottle and shake it up after you fill the rest of it with water. then spray your plant and soil. its supposed to kill most of the pests. then just rinse it off with the spray bottle and normal water when you wanna get the soap off

it should not ruin your buds if you remember to rinse them off with the water well. and i havent personally done it but its what my caretaker told me to do. and there is also organic pest killer at wal mart in a boring brownish green spray bottle too

Probably no good for you with only 2 weeks to go, but I know that basil plants act as a natural deterrent to spider mites, flies and mosquitoes.

Are they like a Fluorescent white color and really really small almost microscopic ??
Those are impossible to get rid of, now as for the small fruit flies what i do is blow them off and run around my house until they loose sight of the plant(cause you know they'll chase it) and then clean your grow room, vacuum good, and use sticky traps, like tape, or something sticky and the rest of the few bugs will get stuck, most important is controlling their populations, i smashed 2 flies having intercourse on my fan leaf. Thats all i got .

Natural tobacco with some water has always worked for me. Take about 4 tsp of tobacky and mix into water bottle. Let it sit for a day or so, then dilute into a gallon of water. Pour around plant and use a spray bottle to get the plant itself. In a week or so go back and dilute with just water especially because ur gonna be harvesting. This has worked for me and its natural with no pesticides.

I'm pretty sure there are organic Neem oil compounds that are completely natural. Neem oil itself is a natural substance extracted from Neem trees.

lol interesting responses. We were thinking about getting the foxfarms dont bug me, it said it can be used up to the day of harvest. The chemical in it is Pyrethrin made from Crysanthemum flowers. Never used any pesticides before. But use foxfarm products with great results. Has anyone used this or something similar. And I have those little microscopic bugs black, gray and green and some of them are jumping.
