Yup!
Yes aphids
How soon will your plants be ready?
I was going to try and hold off for another week at least until I found these.
Squish them with your fingers and sweep them off the plant
Most times they can be washed off with a gentle spray of water, but not this close to harvest.

Sorry kev!
At least you can still wash them off after harvest using the 3 bucket wash
I wouldn’t wash them but some do. They will fall out when your weed is dry. Sorry you got bugs this close to harvest.
Could be worse!!!
Aphids really love to get deep into the buds,and they don't leave when you dry them-they just keep sucking till they die of thirst.
These seemed to be mostly on the stems. Did not see any when I broke open buds
Kev I had them one year in a room of 10 plants and only one plant had them, they were like little soldiers marching up the stem, I used a spray bottle of water to knock most off and squished the lower ones where they were the heaviest infestation.
I harvested that plant a week later and most were gone, I wet trimmed the branches one at a time, and banged the edges off on the tables edge to knock any off but I did not find any.
Maybe if not in buds wipe the ones off you can see, harvest and bang the branches after wet trimming and then hang dry,
I smoked many bugs I am sure,

I'm surprised you don't see ants. Ants heard them like cattle for the sugar.
The time I had aphids there were No ants also
Maybe the Uncles left them home
Morning
Mutualism
Mutualism is advantageous for both partners; aphids provide ants with sugar-rich honeydew as a source of food and the ants protect the aphids against various natural enemies and improve the hygiene of the aphid colony.
