So I have a few aphids. Literally a few like 2 here and 2 there and I have like 2 weeks till flush what should i do?
Also on another note I found a seed. Just one, on a popcorn bud on the stem just ONE seed what is that about?

I think I have a couple weeks I’m not exactly sure but here’s the trichs and a couple random pics maybe you can tell me better. And I still have a few pistils forming

mostly worried about the aphids and whatever I have to do to combat them diminishing quality.
Thanks in advance

I examine this thing SO much and it’s my only plant. I haven’t seen ANY bananas and since the aphids appeared I have been DIGGING in the buds...

Those are pistils I believe. They are turning red at the tips like the rest of my pistils. The lighting makes them look yellow but they are white

Not necessarily, there's hemp and cannabis growing everywhere these days. And pollen from those crops is everywhere. It happens all the time in Illinois anyway. At least to anyone growing outside. Sometimes it even finds it's way into indoor grows. One seed is no big deal anyway.

How should I kill them? I squash every one I see but how do I thoroughly get rid of them or is that dreaming?

this late into flowering you can only squash every one you see. you cant use predators as they wont have time tio do there thing.
you cant spray as the plants heavily into flowering

Once in flower the best thing I have found is isopropyl alcohol. Buy 70% and mix it with water down to 35% or less. I add potassium bicarbonate as well, to stave off powdery mildew and bud rot.

won’t that wash away the trichomes?
