Aphids - 2-3 weeks from harvest

Troubleshooting Pests

I have a Grandaddy purp photo fast growing in an indoor tent. Aphids showed up a couple weeks ago. I’ve been spraying every 4 days with captain jacks, but they’re still there and can see them on some buds whereas most are on leaves.

I’m about 2 weeks from harvest. Can I continue to spray? The plant doesn’t appear to be suffering at all from them, but will they be an issue after harvest, drying, curing or will they die off?

First plant indoors. Had no signs of pests until recently. Not even sure how they made their way into tent. Any advice appreciated. I’ve dug through old posts but again, didn’t see much to my specific circumstance. So thanks!

Captain Jacks is good to use until harvest. Highly recommend a bud wash at chop

You could add some lady bugs but they probably aren’t worth adding this late in the game. I would put a plastic container under the aphids and gently tap them off into it. You can freeze them or just chuck them outside.

They won’t stay on the plant after you cut it down because they feed on the sap and dead plants don’t produce sap so a few days after you cut the plant, the aphids will starve.
