Growing for a few years I have never had bugs ever before!
INDOOR GROWING 2 weeks into flowering and I found 1 of these bugs on a plant, I saw a few outside last week and another in the grow room yesterday. Can anyone Identify? Is it a threat? What type of vegatable spray or something might I use? Neem oil ruined a grow a few years back so maybe something different or a description how to use neem oil!

Reason: PIX
I have those fuckers, i use provado spray which seems to kill them all if i spray over the plant. I have small gravel on top of the soil in my pots and they seem to live in it lol. SO i spray that and they die, but then a couple of days later theres more. Im not sure what kind of threat they are. Hopefully not a big one
Those look like winged aphids to me. They multiply fast (hundreds to thousands in a few weeks) and they're bad news. If you're not in flowering, I would suggest using some kind of anti-bug spray. Neem oil works.
If you are in flowering, I wouldn't suggest using a spray. Ladybugs are natural predators for aphids, and you can get a LOT of them for cheap (I paid 8 dollars and got 1500 of them!). Release 20-30 into your garden and let them chow down. You should see zero bugs in a week or so.
I did not want to use sprays..
so kept reading an reading..
then stumbled upon somthing Mr. FilthyFletch
had posted....
and it works.
look on the bucket you see those are 2 of your bugs.
keeps em way down.
I set timer to turn it on for 15 min when the lights go off.
it isent fancy and new but sure works like a million bucks.
and its REALLY fun to watch the peskey little critters go ZAPPPPPPPPPP.......
