Sticky traps everywhere
Try to take picture of them or closer from damage
A macro pic would help

Are they making net like small spiders?

From the pictures is not easy to see them. They looks like common white aphids from here. That is boring but easy to clean. I suggest to defoliate and make a solution of water with few drops of lemon and clean leaf by leaf everyday for few days. You should be able to remove them if you have enough patience. When you remove the leaves don’t go to heavy (but also not too shy) as you are already on advanced flowering stage. Next time you can consider to introduce preventative predators.

100% does the trick OMRI approved (organic

Using Azamax During the Marijuana Flowering Stage (google title for mor detailed info)

Azamax (azadirachtin-based) can be used during the flowering stage if you are not planning to use the trim for extracts, as the active ingredient can leave a residue. It is effective against pests like spider mites, thrips, aphids, and whiteflies, and can be applied as a foliar spray up to 24 hours before harvest or as a soil drench for systemic control

Personally I have added soil drench when I prepare my containers indoor or out. Outdoor I used foliar on whiteflies. Two applications they never came back. Prevented budworms from moths also. Far superior to neem oil.

Yes, Neem oil also is not good to be smoked and smells . I never see that product :raising_hands: I will go to study about it

Some chemists analyzing chemical compounds found issue. In US California and New York banned. In Maryland a warning was issued to commercial growers. All those states sell it though, go figure! It is 100% organic and spendy but fixes insect problems with very little application. I also spray walls and ground in my greenhouse besides soil drench. No insect issues in the vegetable garden or the greenhouse. Really good at killing root aphids. Best you investigate and see what you find out . . .

Yes, I think this stuff is good preventative or in this case to spray the walls or the pots but not the plants directly.

In particular if they are flowering already. Even organic we don’t know how it reacts on combustion.

Some people have criticized me also for the drops of lemon on the water so now I use only the water if is last 2 weeks :laughing:

anyway I try not to wet the flowers the water I spray only for clean small residuals

Remove mechanically by hand is my favorite for the safe, but prevention is the best.

Or, mix your own with essential oils!

RQS Homemade Natural Insect Repellents To Fight Off Cannabis Pests

“…Essential oils are potent plant extracts rich in terpenes. These aromatic molecules are produced by plants to defend against hungry insects in nature. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that a spray composed of essential oils would work well to deter pests. The essential oil from peppermint, eucalyptus, and rosemary are among the most potent. This natural insect repellent is particularly effective against aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, and ants. . . .”

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon eucalyptus essential oil
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint essential oil
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary essential oil
  • 1 litre warm water
  • ½ teaspoon organic liquid soap

Directions

Mix all 3 essential oils together in a small bottle and shake well. Scoop up ½ teaspoon of this mixture and add to 1 litre of warm water. Add ½ teaspoon of organic liquid soap to emulsify the solution. Spray on affected plants to deter the pests mentioned above.

Ok if your that close to harvest its probably best to not spray anything, maybe check underside of leaf aswell
Do like prempavee said, clean of the leaf
With water, remove as many bugs as possible
Hopefully they’re mostly on the leaf and not the flower

Your grow and flowers :ganja: looks good btw
Well done
