@Shooey, thanks. I will consider repotting. Issue is my plant is so big now in veg state 1 meter. LOL. They are not doing damage, i look everywhere. But they are annoying the hell out of me. Plus side, I see lady bugs running around on the plant. So i guess they are keeping them under control. Seen 3 lady bugs and a few smaller ones.

@CryptoBudMoonBoy, hi mate. I know the ones you mean. I haven’t had them this year but had them in the past when I had a bit of damage on a stem, they came out and climbed in the gap and were relentless. Once around they are hard to get rid of. A great guy on GD is @Med_in_Tropic. He is all outdoor in tropical climate too. He once told me they came out from the soil. So I guess prevention is the cure. Consider re - potting in a premium soil mix. Use perlite at 5/1 with soil to assist in drainage and promote root health. DONT OVERWATER!! Consider companion plants to draw bugs attention away, such as mint, chives, garlic cloves. Eco oil is the only one I trust too, but doesn’t seem to work on anything bigger than mites and aphids. Hope this helps you bro:+1::+1::+1:

@Shooey, Nice one. I have been thinking of tricking it as well. But given Im not far from flower I will just leave it til it does.
