    !!!Help!!! think i have bugs

    Hi Everyone

    As you can see there are crusty brown dead spots on my leaves.

    They first appear as little black dots clustered together, think they bug turds or eggs or something, at first the black spots werent affecting the leaves but now you can see they have killed the area underneath and around them.

    I saw what looks like a little white worm/catepillar looking thing.

    I havnt used any insecticides or anything of that nature. Can someone reccommend something effective and safe to get rid of these little bastards?

    Im in my second week of flowering

    get some neem oil, or fruit tree spray; that will kill off the nasties...

    just make sure to treat, then follow up in a week, to kill of any hatched eggs...

    yeh, skarlets right, remember to look on the packet, if it says 'do not use on food crop' or 'avoid drift onto food crop' get something else...

    better safe than sorry... good luck

    Safer's brand is one of the best to use. It's organic, and for food crops they say you can spray your plants up until the day before harvesting. They have many products, ranging from neem oil, to hardcore bug killing stuff. Definitely try that (insecticidal soap works well and is beneficial to the plants), and like Scarlet said make sure you repeat the application a couple times. I would suggest using something other than Neem oil initially, but then use neem for follow-up applications. It's gentler, and also is a preventative for bugs- you could have them, but the neem protects your plant from them.
