Bug on bud

[grouchyoldman]

Hi johnb1963,
Don't use Neem, just sayin.

50/50 alcohol & water sprayed with the lights out to avoid light burn.

I wouldn't wait too long before harvest either. Amber can take forever & Thrips can get really bad really quick!

Ladybugs looking good eat up them ol buggers.

[johnb1963]

other then the bug, shes doing really good! playing the waiting game, looking for some amber.

crucialbunny is right. They sure look like aphids.

[homegrown]

Yup, agree with crucialbunny, thats an aphid. Hows the actual plant look?

[Larry1]

Could be. It's kind of hard to see with those pictures. Either bug is not good to have but I guess it's better than spider mites:-)

[crucialbunny]

Aphid maybe?

[johnb1963]

thanks Larry, I will do a bud wash at harvest, so we don't smoke any bugs.

They look like thrips. They will make your leaves look like there is dried spit on them. I've never known them to cause a bud rot. You should be fine. Be sure to inspect any other plants. If you have a veg tent check your veg tent. Neem oil will work. Do not spray your flowering plants. It will ruin your buds. Good luck and happy growing

Hello my Friends. while taking a picture of the trichomes on my sweet girl, i saw a BUG! does anyone know what type of bug it is, and is there any chance of it causing bud rot. was hoping to let her grow for another week or so. sorry for crappy pics.
