I have a very light Aphid infestation in my growroom and the flowerin has come to an end and plnats are ready for harvest.

I've noticed some one the leaves close to buds. Does bot seems like they go to the buds but I want to make sure.

Is there a way you recommend to rid abd clean any possible Aphid that may be on the buds?

All suggestions are helpful and appreciated.

Thanks

Look up "Bud washing". YouTube has a video by Jorge Cervantes where he shows it. Basically before you dry for harvest you wash the buds in a light solution of H. Peroxide and water. It supposedly helps get them off the buds.

Thanks for the info..

I took off a sample that had a few Aphids in it and soaked it in warm water. Didn't reall remove them, they just seem to be stuck on the trichomes.

I will take you up on the Cervantes video though..

Hopefully the Peroxide makes the difference.

that's a very hard task I recently did a 8 plant harvest with full aphid infest. only thing you can do is use a air hose n blow them off AFTER they die. don't use a vacuum it's no better than smacking it against the wall. even then you are still going to smoke a lot of them. I also have herd that if you water cure them you can sake the jars every day to break lose the dead insects.
