Growing for over 10 years, never had anything other than fungus gnats in my first year. Wtf are these? Didn't find them until I started harvesting one plant, so far they've only been on 3 branches. Buds look fine but I'm sure they're embedded in there somewhere. Can I still smoke? Would freezing the buds before or after they dry to kill them work? This is some BULLSHIT!!!
Growing over ten years and never seen an aphid?
See the tell-tale "tail pipes? Those are adult and baby aphids.
Get some insecticidal soap and blast those m'fkers off your plants. They multiply like crazy. They are viviparous, meaning they dont lay eggs. Aphids give live births. They come straight out of their mommas ready to eat and breed.
Hopefully those are just regular aphids and not the dreaded root aphids. Check your soil asap! If its RAs you need a completely different battle plan.
