Pruning to minimize aphids during flower, yes or no?

Being in flower makes it tough to handle pests, but it is not impossible. >Spray your plant with cold water thru a garden or sink power nozzle to get the aphids to fall off. >Trimming of any severley infested leaves should not over stress your plant any more then if the aphids suck the life out of those parts and spread. >Aphid nymphs mature in 7 to 10 days and shed their skin, amd can infest a plant quickly if left unchecked. ^You could use insectcidle soap, or a mixture of dish soap and water on the leaves & stems, but avoid the buds. Great Luck & Happy Growing 🌱

I’m thinking of spraying down the plants with cold 5.9 pHed water and then pruning=). Is it bad to prune during flower?🤔🧐

You could go for the lower leaves and ,,sucker,,branches that arent getting much light anyway. Set yourself a hight and start pruning.😊 Point to consider: If you have some pests you might wanna get rid of them first before stressing your plants.👍
