What do you have like a week Mabey 2 to harvest?

I would not spray it with anything at this stage I would just keep taking really infested leaves off and burning then immediately and squashing stagglers

I've been using the hlf water hlf rubbing alcohol method in a spray bottle befor dark also..and we had a hell of a wind and rain storm here the past few days so im pretty sure tht knocked sum of them off ..and it's been in the 60s.. so yea harvest day is near I hope? Jus didn't kno when..will they die when I harvest?

Just have these 2 plants..thanks for the help! Yea was gonna try a different spray to kill the bastards but don't want the chemical on the buds..ugh..

this late in the game ride it out.
if you grow again, Captain jack's dead bug brew is good stuff, its about as natural as an effective pesticide can be, and is supposed to be completely broken down within a week of application, safe to apply the day before harvest...but i quit usin it two weeks before harvest just to make sure

You have more time before you harvest..

You would be safe applying this...

You could but I wouldnt

if you do, do NOT spray it directly on buds, tastes like shit. haven't used that brand but have used another brand of "safe" insecticidal soap about 2 weeks before harvest, and thats what that plant tasted like

Have used a product called Mighty Wash with perfect results, labeled to use right up to harvest, says 99.8% water however it is pink? but it does work very well for me I wouldn't spray it directly on your pretty flowers just the under leaves, honestly thou, this late in the game shouldn't matter either way, good luck and happy smokin.

I'd like to point out the alcohol thing. Don't let it hit your buds. You'll melt down that delicious sugar.
Your plants look great though especially for a first run.
They're looking close to crossing the finish line.
Check em with a scope if you haven't.
What strain/breeder?

Oh wow I didn't know tht the alcohol would do tht! Luckily for me it hasn't melted the sugar its crazy sticky tho! Yea I was hopein they were gettin close to being done..thts why I asked if they looked good to more experienced growers than myself...yes this is my very first grow started from bagseed so not sure the strain/breeder, was just tired of being ripped off all of the time so decided to grow my own and got these two beauties lol, i topped the one and it took off but really didn't do anything special to them used kgro once a week and trimmed em oh n babied em ha..but other than tht it was good ol mother nature.

Well you did good. I got a closer look at them. The first time I checked was on my phone and finally getting around to my laptop. I'm seeing a lot of white pistils on the last 2 photos so you may have another 2 weeks. They look very sativa dominant to me and that generally means a longer flowering time. But those buds look pretty fat too.
The only way to really know for certain would be to get a scope and check your trichomes .
You can go with a jewelers scope or if you want something fast then grab a pocket miscroscope. I found one in the kids section at a Hobby Lobby for like 15 bucks and it works just fine.
