what should i do, if anything?
i have two plants, both under tulle in a bed outside. they're both loaded with flowers, pistols are about 30% brown at this point. we have rain coming from helene tomorrow and saturday; next week is sunny all week with 75-80* temps. i'm hoping to harvest the second(ish) week of october, all things going as planned. i've had a few cats, budrot from them, picking that off as i see it. daily morning checks with it being this close to harvest...

today it seems that aphids have exploded on one of the plants. the other one is fine...so far.

i haven't been spraying anything on either plant; this is my first outdoor grow and we've been in a severe drought most of the summer, and with the tulle covering the plants i honestly haven't had any major issues. that is, until today.

should i just ride it out? spray them with a hose? ladybugs? wash after harvest? i'm also concerned that the aphids will move on to the other plant at this point. they're in the same bed, about 3 ft apart.
