Help With Flowering And Aphids

[GanjaNGains]

Hi guys, so 2 questions that I'd appreciate some help on :)

I'm 3 months in now with my outdoor grow, and my plants are looking great. Though they look healthy there are multiple huge holes in a few leaves and I have no idea who the culprit is. I do however know I've got aphids and blackflies, which I've been getting rid of with warm water, neem oil and some dish soap. It seems to work but I know I can't continuously spray as flowering will start soon and obviously neem oil shouldn't be sprayed during that stage. Do aphids eventually go with the season? I can't really prevent them or find where they're coming from so what would you guys suggest I do? Can I expect them to just disappear after a while? Autumn is just around the corner.

Another question. I planted my seeds May 24th. I'm at 14, going on 13 hours of daylight at the moment, and I assume flowering will start somewhat soon. My only worry is that the flowering period of Durban Poison is 8-9 weeks, meaning it will only be harvested around mid-end October. October the temperature in England on average is around 12°C, and could even be quite a bit lower. As this in an outdoor grow I worry for potential mold/damage from frost. Sun will also likely be non-existent, do buds need sun in order to grow properly? Could I possibly bring them inside for the final month or something?

Thanks in advance peeps :)

You can absolutely bring them inside to finish

Wow. That's a damn cool picture man! :fire: Love the purple effect with the lady bugs. Next grow I will definitely give lady bugs a go when I have a bug issue. Your plants are looking beautiful, send more when you've got. I love to see other grows :)

Thanks so much man :)
Well it's actually thanks to everyone's advice at the time.
My only worry now is the flowering and hardly any sun they'll be getting. Due to this awful summer my newer stems are incredibly thin and they've got bud to hold. Started giving Fox Farm's tiger bloom and big bloom nutrients 3 days ago so hopefully that stengthens things up!
It's been a fun journey and without a doubt I will grow again next year. Except in April so my plants get more time.
Thanks for all the help and advice and following through with my first grow :)

For sure. Hope some of the advice helped.
If you still feel like the stems need some support you can get wooden skewers or small bamboo sticks to help support them or as the buds start weighing them down. They only cost a few dollars at most for the small ones. Use those combined with some green tape and you should be good. you can find these at any horticulture or hydro shop.
