When is it too late to spray plants in flower?

[guyguy]

Hey guys, so I still have spider mites and I triggered my plants 2 weeks ago. They are only just starting to show signs of flowering.

Is it too late to spray down all the plants with a diluted pesticide? Or is it only too late when the plants have buds?

Thanks!

read on the pesticide label, it should say how long it takes for it to break down and be safe for consumption.

Only thing I spray on bud is plain water...and I spray them hard to blast a mite off the perch! Peace

IMO its only too late when there is flower you are spraying on.. You don't want to risk smoking a pesticide, if the plant is still only throwing budsites/pistils and hasn't really developed flowers I'd say spray sooner rather than later.. All the bud will be new growth so pesticide free.

Don't use a pesticide, use a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, starting at a 1:1 ratio and increasing the isopropyl if necessary. Apply this every three days, saturating all surfaces, you need to be sure you hit them all. Do this EVERY THREE DAYS or you'll miss the hatchlings and they'll have an opportunity to breed more.
