Will these buggers harm my plants?

    Hi everyone I hope my pics are clear enough. These bugs have shiny wings and are about 2mm, kinda rust colored. Should I get rid of them somehow? I don’t[​IMG] [​IMG][​IMG]want to use anything toxic. Has anyone heard of a spray with tobacco & peppermint soap & maybe other things in it? I’m open to suggesting. Thank you.

    I’ve had what looked looks like fruit flies come in late in flower I assume attracted by the terpenes. Especially on Sour Tangie. They look similar to what I’m seeing. They won’t hurt, but it’s nasty picking them out when you roll or squish. You can always set traps.

    At the stage those plants are at I'd go with just the sticky traps and avoid any sprays. Plain water perhaps, but nothing that may impart taste or flavors.

    Listen to Ficky.

    What do you think of Sour Tangie? Pretty popular in my area.

    I like it in the line up, but I can usually can only smoke one joint of her due to the terps. I really want to squish her. She’s super easy to grow and pests usually leave her alone until late in flower.

    What I really want to get my hands on is an old time skunk. Lime green electric nuggets that you can smell from the next county. Prior to going to Europe. Humbolt/Sonoma/Mendocino/Shasta/Trinity

    I just about died trimming sour tangie. Pungent. And the effects made be feel weird and cynical.

    I did a pineapple cross last year from a breeder. Made me cranky and agitated. I ended up 86’ing the whole lot. A buddy is working Pina from another breeder. We’re hoping the effects shift.

    Using for edibles could work. I find if I just mix strains together they are always good & u don't get the same effects as smoking.
