The plant is at a vulnerable stage. The trichomes are not fully developed so bugs can still get to leaves and munch on them...ruining my garden. Once, the trichomes cover most of the plant I won't worry as much, but for now...I got the neem oil ready to blast any intruders. Neem oil is not recommended in flower, but I can still use it as the plant has not developed buds. So, I can spray them if necessary.
