don't worry this dude's is a little bit of a troll on here. his answer to everything on here is "rinse!" before cause is even established if you used to much nutes maybe, sometimes a rinse isn't even necessary because a little burn isn't a big deal and the damage is done; rinsing might cause deficiencies and just a lot of unnecessary work. but that fact hasn't been established yet. fist step i personally would take is to find out what pest it is and . a hand held micro scope, a common pest chart for mmj, Google images and find out what those bugs are. differnt bugs requier different treatments. pyrythins & neem work well for most soft bodied insects. spinosad(sorry for my spelling) for caterpillars, fungus gnats and a bunch of other stuff. bugs can wreck a grow quick, i once saw fungus gnats go crazy in a friends grow unchecked he thought they were harmless. the did so much damage to the plants and made it look like all kinds of other problems. when i was newer at growing i had leaf aphids (little light green bugs on the bottom of my leaves) reduced my yield to 50% in just a couple of weeks and infect one of my plants with powdery mildew this was a large grow i had high hopes for and it really bumbed me out. also bugs like mites and aphids can cause deficiencies because they are robbing the plant of nutrients hence the small yield post infection. trying bug bombing with "off" inbetween harvest. the chemical in it (pyrithrin) has around a 12 hour half life and is commonly used in the food industry also the same chemical in the expensive bug bombs at the grow store like attain total release. if you can find a pyrithrin spray with out the stemic agent pipernol butoxide (MILDY again MILDY carcegenic at super high levels that being said don't want it on my flowers) dr. doom does not list pipernol butoxide in the active ingreadents and is safe to spray on buds. i used it on royal kush a while ago 2 weeks before harvest. smoke it all myself as a test. zero flavor/smell/apperence/ impact and these buds looked smokeable when i applied it. hater hate on it all want but its scientifically proven to be safe after it breaks down from oxygen exposure. also consider this; unless all the agricultural products you eat are garuanteed 100% pesticide free have came into contact with pyrithrin sometimes even post harvest you have probably already consumed shit tons of it in your life just be careful when applying it, it does start out toxic and then breaks down the fumes can be irritant and im sure unhealthy

word dude im beginning to think its deff a pest problem my spray has been working but they seem to come back just found eggs and little black bugs so small u can barley see them on the under side of one of my leaves... 3/3 plants all have this leaf thing going... im legit 20 days out of harvest... buds are looking excellent, i really dont wanna spray too much cuz of taste smell and bud rot im just trying to keep an eye on shit

i dont think dr doom is water based, also the instructions say not to wet the leaves spray lightly. if its an insect that can be treated with pyrithrin its should die within 24 hours. it may take multiple applications to get them completely but one treatment will knock em back enough to make it until harvest most likely. like i said it doesn't really impact the flavor but it can cause light burn. i don't think you have anything to loose becuase if something is already a problem by harvest it will have probably devastated your crop. i tried to put some research into eco smart. they have multiple products which product is it specifically. the bed bug one would probably be most effective as thats the type of bug pyrithrins also treat. but be warned its permanent oil and Rosemary oil. this will have an effect on flavor. so would habenero. not really effective in my opinion research seems to suggest it to be more of a replant than a true insecticide

i wouldn'[t even wait for the weekend. for example aphids reproduce 9 times per month spider mites are similar. 2x per week so that being said. this weekend you have a bigger problem. larva are very small and easy to mistake for dust. your problem is already bigger than you think
