Found some aphids today, it's been cold overcast and windy enough the past few days all of the the predator bugs haven't been out. I saw them concentrated on one satellite branch and cut it out. Then upon closer inspection I can see a few here and there the main chute the satellite was on, I couldn't find them on the other, yet. I would really rather avoid spraying the buds at this point but looking for any advice either way. Should I just take this main chute early try to stop the spread? The buds on this thing look amazing as well and I would like to keep them even if it's a tad early the main cola is like 4 inches thick. Will the aphids leave the branch if I cut it to dry? Can I wash them off after I cut it? Would anyone spray at this point? Got about 2 weeks or so before frost.
