Yeah I tried to avoid using anything. I still have a few weeks left and don't want the bugs continuing using my plant as a buffet. I'm going to check out this product thanks.

I had the same thing going on when they were probably about where yours are in flowering. I sprayed the whole plant with the hose on flat mode from the underside cause thats where they hang out then i put them in front of fans for a couple days and then into the sun. I also put a layer of sand on the soil with DE and DE along the base of the stem and up the stem without getting any on the buds. I sprayed them with spinosad and then used ladybugs, also put them near a wasp nest lol. Aphids are a bitch. Indoors especially cause outdoors they have natural predators and climate to deal with, indoors they can explode.

Looks like thrips to me. BTW you can use Capt Jacks'/spinosad during flower. I've used it for years not only in veg for thrips, whiteflies and spider mites but spray directly on buds during flowering to keep budworms away or at least at a bare minimum. It didn't affect taste at all.

I second @obijohn It's thrips and possibly more, not a huge deal, you can spray the plants using something like Lost Coast Plant Therapy up to day of harvest, I've had to do it before and didn't notice a negative impact on flower quality at the end. I'm sure there are some residues but probably nothing worse than what was in the air outdoors when you grew the plant.
