What bug is this and what do I need to do about him?

Please make yourself aware of the dangers of Neem oil before using it. In nature bugs won’t even get near the Neem tree! A sign from God or Mother Nature telling to stay clear, if you ask me? I have IBS, and grow medicine for a Chrones patient. I use Dr.Zymes and it is OMRI listed. Neem oil can have very adverse affects on patients like us! I know none of us want to lose a crop to insects or bugs. I also keep a full bag of Diatemocious Earth on hand. I use it around the house and yard as well. I also employ Nematodes! There are a lot of other organic solutions. If Neem oil does not bother you? You have many predatory bugs you can purchase as well. Keep in mind your fans if you do release bugs. You fans can kill them. Screen covers can be installed for the hunt! Good luck!

They kind of look like aphids https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/aphids, or they are leaf hoppers, but not sure. I guess lady bugs is the safest way…? but also consider there is and will be a lot of bug poop and pee all over the plant… so if you decide to harvest… I suggest doing a plant wash before you dry it.

Yeah that’s true, Aphids.
I used Neem oil and soap, sprayed on all leaves, trimmed the infected leaves. Looks like I prevented it from spreading to other plants but this one withered away. Thats ok, learned how to fight these bugs. I will do something preventive next time. I am enjoying a beautiful growth at the moment with outdoors.
Thank you :pray: all for your inputs
