There's something called Safers Soap that ive heard others use, and ive used it myself, although i used it as more of a "just in case" option.

Just be careful to read the ingredients, as some of them contain some plant oils as well. Garlic, rosemary, and peppermint are included in a lot of natural bug sprays. I think Safers Soap doesn't have oils in it as I recall.
Those leaves look 'haze' ish to me. They can be particular plants of the two I have grown. How are your temps and how are you checking ph (excuse if this is pages back)? Ph pens need weekly calibration and that is what is usually wrong with 99% of first time growers.
I had a haze that would droop bad every time it was watered, liked to be on the drier side, heavier on the nutes first 5 weeks. But when your doing bagseed you just kinda have to guess.
Some of the lowers will crap from lack of light. I remove them when fully yellow and their ready to drop.
@InTheShed knows more about otc insect stuff.
Pyrethrins are a banned chemical on cannabis in many canna-legal states. I'm using spinosad (doesn't work on mites I've been reading), iso/water mix, and just tried non-detergent dish soap today for my thrips. It was Dr Bronner's unscented Castille soap mixed 2 tbs/gal.@InTheShed knows more about otc insect stuff.
Wow! I looked up some photos of haze and this was one of the first photos that I found compared to mine.
Mine: Haze:
They do look pretty similar!
My temps are the only thing that I'm not happy about with my environment. Lights on they can sit around 30-32c (86-89F) and with lights off they are usually 27c (80f). There's nothing I can do about this but the weather is starting to cool down now and it should start getting much cooler over the next 6 months.
For PH I'm using drops to test. I know this is super inaccurate and I will be buying a PH pen sometime this week.
I think I may have also just had an idea as to what's going on... Do you think this could be the result of underwatering?!? I've been feeding her the same amount every 3/4 days (usually 4 litres) since veg and haven't changed this. She will probably be a lot thirstier now as well, using up that water much quicker... leading to a lack of nutrients... I fed her a bit more than usual last night, so hopefully she bounces back.

I'm not seeing anything that looks like a N deficiency, but there should be enough N in flower nutes. Most cal-mag contains N as well.
Why they banned? Synthetic pyrethroids are non systemic in soil. Wouldnt advise using them in hydro, or using them at all once buds are up but yeah. Im a pest controller and according to UK guidelines, correct doses are perfectly safe for agriculture. They obviously weren't considering weed when they wrote the book but surely it behaves like every other plant on earth? I work in the city so not something I've ever needed to know about really.Pyrethrins are a banned chemical on cannabis in many canna-legal states.

Haha you do realise the UK is, and has always been the world's biggest supplier of medicinal weed don't you? We been at the research 10 years longer than you guys lol maybe 15. Just not legal for us peasants to grow.
"non systemic" means it's not absorbed by the plant so it shouldn't make any odds as long as it goes in the soil and not sprayed on the plant.
I did say I wouldn't advise to use it during bloom and also said it should according to what I know, be safe to apply to the soil. Most are highly residual so of course should not be sprayed onto the plant. Was just curious as to why you guys have banned it but UK says it's safe. Wasn't being agro, just asking a genuine question out of curiosity mate.Soak a cone in it, then smoke it. Heat changes chemicals. I rub synthetic pyrethroids all over myself just about daily-their very very safe. Most of that stuff is inactivated by about 10 minutes in our sun here. (our research extension does studies of UV/heat effectiveness of pyrethroids every few years.
I don't imagine it would offer any more protection on a plant under our lights.
There is a synthetic with freaking excellent UV resistance in a specific formulation over here....but it's expensive and generally sold in drums.
I would use in veg no problemo.
The single most effective measure of pest control I have for my hooch tent is 10000+ppm of co2 for 90 minutes once every couple weeks if I don't see anything, or every 2-3 days if I start seeing something that snuck in on the soil.
I've worked in ag and farming for about 45 years. Breed horses. Have about 250 head at graze and am a partner in a start up berry farm that I am helping oversee that is about 1200 acres.
So yea, shed and I understand what non-systemic means. How do you protect bud sites and trim from application?
FYI there are plenty of non-systemic 'cides that express list no application during fruiting times. USDA tests for that shit here.
My experience comes from using it in ag, not commercially and that is very very very different. And I do have a license.

You guys banned kinder eggs so just cos its banned doesn't mean it's dangerous lol.
Gresus is in flower though. I use neem in veg but not in flower. In flower I use either spinosad, iso/water, or soap spray. Only things that come off in the wash.I did say I wouldn't advise to use it during bloom and also said it should according to what I know, be safe to apply to the soil.

Exactly, it's both how and where and what that's applied. And is the treatment worse than the sickness? I would avoid neem in flower like the plague. I have never really had to use anything other than mosquito bits and I only have an occasional fly or two during season changes.Gresus is in flower though. I use neem in veg but not in flower.

And since in the US we spray people with Roundup, I can't imagine a western nation that cares less about what goes on our food than here. If state cannabis boards say pyrethrins should not be found on buds, that's good enough for me!
