I tried lady bugs to far into flower for aphids and it helped a little, but not much. The lady bugs even reproduced in the closet, and the nymphs are even better at eating stuff. BUT, once you have buds, they cant get around them like the smaller bugs can, and the ladies wouldn’t cross over trichome covered buds. So I’d end up with some parts of the stalks clean of aphids but everyplace by an actual bud the aphids were free to do their thing.
