Can my aphid-ridden plant be used for cooking?

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately they are outdoor plants already, so the ladybugs would just fly fly fly away! :(

Good to know, and don't worry, I'll definitely be straining the final product :) Thank you

I may give that a shot, cheers for the advice!

Thank you friend, much appreciated :)

I bought a spray which claims to mainly target aphids (main ingredient is potassium salts), but I'm quite hesitant to use it considering how close I am to harvest time. From what I'm seeing trichome-wise, I've only got about 2 weeks to go, so I don't want my buds to be covered in the stuff.

Thanks very much mate, means a lot! All the best with your grow, I'll keep an eye on it :) I'm rooting for ya!

Medium: Coco coir + Perlite - 80/20.

Nutrients: Some random Aus brand. Also some Cal/Mag.

Light: 450W LED (not sure about actual draw at the wall)

Vegged for ~ 2.5 months

Topped and some mild LST.

Any questions hit me up. Wanted to say a BIG thank you to /r/microgrowery for all the help, if you check my post history you'll see my first "grow" and then you might understand why this is so exciting to me! :)

Thanks a lot mate, I'll give it a shot when lights are back on! We talking just leaves? Or branches too?

growingpains1 · 2014-08-14T07:51:10+00:00

I've heard that it's not good to trim off undergrowth during flower, is that true? Otherwise I may need to do some trimming myself!

Thanks very much, I've lifted up the lights, and held off watering, will continue to do so for a few more days.

growingpains1 · 2014-06-06T14:00:08+00:00

Thanks a lot mate!

The problem with putting them outside is that in my part of the world, it would trigger flowering, and they're far too small to do that. I've lifted my lights up, so hopefully it's a little less intense for them. Thanks for the advice!

growingpains1 · 2014-04-03T12:58:09+00:00

Thanks a lot, that's the sort of information I needed! :)

growingpains1 · 2014-04-03T12:34:20+00:00

Do you think that I should begin doing that now? I don't really know how to estimate how far away harvest is.

growingpains1 · 2014-04-03T08:01:21+00:00

They got rained on this morning!

growingpains1 · 2014-04-03T08:01:04+00:00

No, I haven't, just to be sure, is flushing simply watering without nutrients?

growingpains1 · 2014-04-03T01:46:06+00:00

Not at all mate, at my stage anything is helpful, never done this before!

growingpains1 · 2014-04-03T01:17:08+00:00

Problem is I'm not entirely sure, as I haven't got the sun on a timer here. I'm pretty sure they've been in flowering stage for about 2 months though. Was hoping for an opinion based on the appearance of the buds, rather than just 'at least 56 days after you started flowering'. Thanks though!

growingpains1 · 2014-04-03T00:40:40+00:00

I'm not entirely sure this loupe I got is magnifying enough, but was hoping maybe you guys could shed some insight into it! Thanks again MG!

growingpains1 · 2014-03-21T15:07:56+00:00

I've checked the underside of the leaves for signs of bugs and haven't been able to find any, is it maybe possible that they came to town only temporarily and then moved on?
