I know what needs to be done but I'm unclear on some things...

The plants that are most infected are about to harvest. Should I do the nicotine water solution or should I just harvest so the smoke isn't f*cked?

I'm pissed it's all over my JC2, OG18 and Kushberry skunk. Advice please on attacking the mature flowers.

Hot Shots no pest strips will kill them !!
hang them in your grow room at lights off time , should only take 2 nights
then you can put them in a zip lock bag till you need them again
and they do noy leave any sort of residue on ur plants

Do I get this at the local grow shop or is this found else where? What about Neem oil or Nicotine and water solution, have you tried that?

im pretty sure the neem or nicotine and water solutions will work to ,, but they may need 3 or 4 treatments,
the hotshots will work FasT

These strips are carcinogenic and should never be used in a grow room. Use the neem or nicotine or even insecticidal soap at this stage of harvest. the neem may leave an aftertaste on the buds. Never use these strips near flowering plants.

Have you seen sniffers profile pic? I got feeling "taste" aint one of the highest qualities on growing list. I bet he drank that damn beer right our of that dogs mouth and didnt think twice about it!

If your less than 6 days away from harvest do nothing, If your 2 weeks away try any of the above it will slow them down.

You may notice small popping when smoking guess who.

If they are real bad, infested, I also squeeze the buds hard to kill as many as I can, 1 to 2 days later you can't tell they were squeezed.

There was an amazing Pyrethrum Bomb on the market that worked awesome but I think they stopped making it! It was made out of concentrated neem and supposedly completely evaporates off the plants in less than 24 hours… You could essentially smoke the next day.. I have tried two replacements and only one worked but I have never tried so close to harvest.. Ask the hydro store for the Pyrethrum bomb in the small can.. Make sure the only active compound is the Pyrethrum.

I don’t know if id try 6 with 6 days left… Pull and many of the infected leaves off as possible and cross ur fingers…

I just missed it. Thought the plant was fading early nothing too unusual but then I noticed what looked like little pieces of dirt on my buds with the magnifying glass. I applied Tobacco water earlier. Keep your fingers crossed. I'm heading to the shop tomorrow to talk to the pro in person. Thanks for the resoponse.
