do they fly or just crawl?

It's getting late in the game, so you need something like pyrethrum spray or a home made insect spray.

thats really shitty.. something bad like pests always happens near the end. happened to be a while back (my last grow, EVER!) .. about 2 weeks before the finish.. it crippled my crop..ended up with next to nothing (in contrast of the TONS i should have yielded)

This far into flowering there's not much you can do.. If you have very very good airflow around the plants you can take a small spray bottle of water and using the high-pressure spray setting try to clean them off the leaves that way.. then you'll have to set them somewhere with good airflow to dry off completely before putting them back in the room... just make sure they are totally dry or else you'll get bud rot..

Good luck - I HATE bugs...

I would hesitate to spray with any harsher chemicals at this stage. You might try spaying with a soapy solution. I like this concoction:

. Then a day or 2 after you kill the bugs, you could spray them with water to rinse the soap off. Hopefully the buds will still taste good.

That looks like a great spray for veg but I wouldn't use it in flower. Trichomes will dissolve in alcohol and oil, both of which are contained in this recipe.

This is a really old thread (2007), but thanks for posting that vid. I'm going to mix some up and try it as I like the multifactor treatments, a one-stop-shop for most issues.

@Sierra Natural Science has several products that you can use for pests right up until harvest. CL Edit: Btw @Emilya Green has a link about it.
