I don't have any experience with it so can't say what kinda effect it will have during flower, but maybe some of the forum members will be able to shed some more light on the product. 

what I do have experience with is struggling to find anything that is at all OK to spray during flower. even plain water on your flowers can cause things to go south if you don't know what you're doing. 

hands down, best of the best results, would be a preventative mesure. I know it's too late now, but for future just keep this in mind. You buy a bottle of BioNeem, once a week you make 1 to 2L of it and spray all your plants. (IN VEG ONLY!!!) and I mean ALL your plants. 

the way this porduct works is gold, it strengthens the immune system of your plants giving it the strength to fight against diseases by itself aswell as making the plant unfavourable for insects. this porduct will not harm beneficial bugs, because beneficial bugs don't eat your plants. the Neem also provides a number of trace elements and even some secondry nutrients with each application acting as a growth stimulant aswell. 

I haven't seen pests ot any kinda mold in my garden for ages

don't know why people would go any other route.

you can also bud wash, peroxid and lemon juice, to get them off the final product.

If it is really bad.. i take my failure and put them on the compost heap. In risk areas prevention is key.

if you're composting an infested plant best to make sure the bugs are all dead before composting. 

a bit like growing fruits, if you see insects in the fruits no point in composting it, because you basically farming those insects and helping them to thrive.

Pyrol should do the trick, then do a bud wash after harvest.

I would suggest more than one spray, but space the sprays out. How far into flower are you?

 

I used hydrogen peroxide towards the end of flower once with good success on spider mites. So that is an option too.

I'll definitely do a bud wash and I'm only in week 3 of flower now so it's still a long way to go

Then I would say give Pyrol a go. You should have good success with it and its still early into flower, probably only lots of pistils at the moment.

Be careful with Pyrol though. Too much and your plant will go from looking great to looking shite in a matter of days. 

What I would suggest is:

• Use half the minimum dosage they suggest
• Spray as soon as you hit lights off
• Perhaps unnecessary but something I do myself is just before lights off I spray with Pyrol and then just before lights on I'll spray with water to remove the excess oils from the pyrol. Pyrol can leave oil spots on your leaves which in turn generate heat spots. These heats spots then burn/scorch your leaves. I repeat this process until I'm happy that all the mites are gone.

Good advice this. The next spray I would say you can do at a higher dose, perhaps their minimum recommended dose.

So the latest thing I was advised, at the local nursery, was Vegol. Its the brother to Pyrol, same company and apparently their slogan is something like spray today, eat tomorrow. I just finished a run and noticed the thrips too late. Its obviously a less potent version of an insecticide, but it did help I found, at least for late in flower. I then also did a simple water bud wash to be on the safe side.

Then as most have said, preventative (as I have now learnt) is better. So I also got Neem to spray at regular intervals.

I must say, this is an interesting take for me, thanks for the solid advice. I was going to spray mine every 2 weeks, but maybe I should bump that up. Will see once the seedlings are older.
