went into my room last night and saw little white spots on my leaves with little moving black things.i learned there is something like 4000 species of these little bastards.im 5 weeks into flower and refuse to use anything from a can or spray.will ladybugs be cool?will they hurt the plant in any way during its sensitive state?

The little white spots may be spidermites... look in FAQ under "plant problems then to pests....etc... ladybugs are good...check you local pet store, they sometimes have them for small lizard food..... But act NOW... good luck man.

A bowl of molaases can help too. They head for that instead of the plant and get stuck in the molasses.

About half your ladybugs are going to get fried on your lights very sad but worth a warning.

Spider mites suck, sorry to hear. Good thing to clean out the enitre room once you have sprayed your plants off. I ues a mix of water, dish soap and white vinegar to kill spider mites and aphids. Good luck and get rid of them.
