Spraying vs. ladybugs- pests @ 3-4 wks into flower...

I just noticed today when I put my pots outside that one of my plants had some new white dots on some leaves...I wiped my hand across the underside of the leaves and a few pale-whitish-greenish bugs came off in my hand.... They are visible with the naked eye- I think they are aphids but I am not sure. I have a bottle of Safer organic insecticide which helped during veg, but I don't know for sure if it's ok to spray the little buds with that stuff. The bottle says " can be used up to the day of harvest" but I think they mean for veggies that you can wash before eating...

Need some help here.Spray or ladybugs? 2 of my plants are 4 wks into flower , the other 6 are 3 weeks.


Thanks.

Be careful for sure, but i would say deff get some ladybugs around, if you can prune off some of the more problem areas do so, if you can sacrifice that you know, you can use sprays that are veggie friendly..use early and shake them off they have plenty of air and sun to dry out, just be careful with mold issues, aphids are destroyers for sure tho, they come and devastate quick so move fast my man.
