Just a few aphids, and ONE seed.

[AC303]

So I have a few aphids. Literally a few like 2 here and 2 there and I have like 2 weeks till flush what should i do?
Also on another note I found a seed. Just one, on a popcorn bud on the stem just ONE seed what is that about?

I think I have a couple weeks I’m not exactly sure but here’s the trichs and a couple random pics maybe you can tell me better. And I still have a few pistils forming

mostly worried about the aphids and whatever I have to do to combat them diminishing quality.
Thanks in advance

if you have seed then you have male flowers someware. check to see if you can find any male flowers in your grow and tweezer them out

I examine this thing SO much and it’s my only plant. I haven’t seen ANY bananas and since the aphids appeared I have been DIGGING in the buds...

im not sure, cant find me glasses again lol but in pic two, i think i see a yellow mature male flower and a bunch of bananas, have a look to see if it is

 

[AC303]

Those are pistils I believe. They are turning red at the tips like the rest of my pistils. The lighting makes them look yellow but they are white

you growing inside or out?

Not necessarily, there's hemp and cannabis growing everywhere these days. And pollen from those crops is everywhere. It happens all the time in Illinois anyway. At least to anyone growing outside. Sometimes it even finds it's way into indoor grows. One seed is no big deal anyway.

Here is what you saw. Pistils. The holes they left when pulled

i was going to say that there could ell be some male pollen in the air

Kill all the aphids.

 

[go go kid]

yep its female flower part allright, good news

 

[AC303]

How should I kill them? I squash every one I see but how do I thoroughly get rid of them or is that dreaming?

 

[go go kid]

this late into flowering you can only squash every one you see. you cant use predators as they wont have time tio do there thing.
you cant spray as the plants heavily into flowering

Once in flower the best thing I have found is isopropyl alcohol. Buy 70% and mix it with water down to 35% or less. I add potassium bicarbonate as well, to stave off powdery mildew and bud rot.

Squishing works too.

won’t that wash away the trichomes?

you would do this on heavily flowered plants?

 

[AC303]

They aren’t heavily flowered they are ALL FLOWER.
Lollipopped and schwazzed in week 3

 

[JimmiP]

No. I use it whenever necessary. This bud has been sprayed at least four times with no damage.as have these, and every other one in my grow.

 

[JimmiP]

Yes. It has done wonders for me, when needed. And it works for most pests.

Yes. It has done wonders for me, when needed. And it works for most pests. Even flea beatles and spider mites.
