    Aphids at harvest

    Hi All - I've noticed I have some aphids in my buds! Not millions but enough - didn't even notice them until now. My question is will they die off as the plant dries? I'm all about edibles so a bit of extra protein won't kill me but short of pulling them off one by one not sure what do? Not keen on washing my buds! I'd post a pic but my camera won't pick em up.

    Any suggestions?

      Thanks for that, and I've read it. Still doesn't seem to specifically address what happens to them once you've chopped it and are drying the plants. Anyway, guess I'm gonna spend the evening with a pair of tweezers and a magnifying glass.

    we had it the same timing. i forget where, but i think the shit and their mucous are not good for consumption. in desperation, used a sprayer which knocked them off quite nicely. I am sure we lost some trichomes, but it really worked got rid of most of em, as well as a lot of the flies etc, stuck in the blooms. but then ya gotta watch that they dry quickly. I just aw a couple aphids on surrent plants, so have the oap spray ready!
    A happy Canuk. this grow will be using Flora Flex nutrients in coco/perlite. 9 plants in 3 by 3 tent and 8 plants in 2 by 4, in 1 or 2 gallon pots (whatevere is there). manual fertigation planned. veg till around 1 ft high. 2 by 4 tent light is Bloom Plus 2500 and 3 by 3 tent has Mar Hydro Ts3000, both of which seem awesome.

      Plan B -- make some oil...I would suspect anything would be pretty much sterilized in 150% + alcohol with a steam bath on a double broiler...
