First off hello everyone.
When I properly noticed the root aphids it had already been too late as the plant was already flowering (and I kind of put it off…). Both my plants were always kept in a glass house with a missing wall but therefore had proper ventilation. Now days before harvest the flowers seem to be ripe (fist rule of most pistils being brown), but the buds aren‘t firm and don‘t smell a lot, and rather unpleasant. The strain is a power plant so it may be normal, but I don‘t know when to harvest, or even if to harvest or if the aphids destroyed the roots to the point where the buds go bad? Leaves have now also started to yellow, which is normal I guess but discoloration has also appeared on a few.
The infestation has gone pretty bad to the point where adults are hanging out on the top of the soil and winged aphids are flying around. So the question is are the buds save to harvest/smoke? Why do they not smell like normal buds?
Also my 1.90m plant snapped in half on the way to the dry room…For shits and giggles I let it grow as high as possible, hence the bent top, I know it‘s not the most efficient way.
Thanks for the answers!

Some strains have a strong smell and others don't. Generally if they don't have any smell, they're probably not ready to harvest. Did you get your seeds from a reputable seed bank or were they bag seeds/given to you by a friend? Genetics play a huge role in how plants grow and develop and if they're not good genetics, you might end up with not good bud.
