What damage will aphids cause in a grow contained indoors in a tent? Only saw 2-3 but know they will multiply, shook all the plants to make sure they weren’t infested but didn’t see any others start flying. What treatment options do I have? These plants are in their final weeks

Aphids generally crawl, not fly. If you are close to the end and you only have a few, squashing them yourself might be the best control method. I would be very against spraying anything on flowers I would be consuming soon, no matter how safe it claims to be. Thrips are more commonly seen flying around.

Get yourself some Spinosad... it's organic and can be sprayed even during flowering... Good luck with those little b*st*rds!

In einem so späten Pflanzemstadium würde ich persönlich nicht mehr auf Sprühmittel wie Spinosad zurückgreifen. Eine Möglichkeit wären Marienkäfer. Auf den Pflanzen ausgebracht, reduziert sich der Blattlausbefall erst nicht merklich. Die größeren Larvenstadien vertilgen bis zu 100 Blattläuse pro Tag, so dass eine deutliche Reduzierung der Blattläuse nach 2-3 Wochen sichtbar wird.🤔 Aber wenn der Befall gering ist könnte das vielleicht was werden🤔
