IS this the "cannabis aphid"? Picture included...

[plumsmooth]

Well I chuckled since I got the best deal on my neighbors CBD plants 25 bucks each. So I got 6 they look like 1/2 pounders at least. I shouldn't have laughed about the idea of "maybe" getting a few bugs.

Luckily I didn't get any Spider Mites. I did dry my hemp right next to my indoor plants of which I usually have 6 as per the law in my State of Vermont. Anyway long story short I got these aphids which I am still battling and I finally decided I need to move my trimming tray downstairs into another room since I believe they are migrating back to the young plants -- to which the trimming station is adjacent -- from dried processing and curing flower/buds! I finally sort of pin-pointed this by simple looking at the plant closest to my trimming fold out shelf -- it's got (had) a lot of aphids whereas the next two over hardly had any!

I think if I can cut off the repopulation route --- luckily they are not in a winged form as present -- I will finally have these suckers mastered? However, to get to the point, I believe thee are the Cannabis Aphids which are more of a problem and are harder to fight being that they have a tougher exoskeleton! Any Thoughts; and please help me verify this...

I hate to admit this but they are a very pretty color green! Notice the "horn-like" projections from the base of antenna. And notice the three subtle darker green stripes coming down their back! The only characteristic I haven't yet identified is the bulbous ends of some hairs somewhere? Not sure where to look for those...

P.S. Click on the Picture -- "thanks THCfarmer!"-- it opens up to a really nice full size picture!

A few tablespoons of liquid dish or insecticidal soap diluted in a pint of water is the simplest way to make a natural aphid killer spray for that aphid infestation. After mixing the water and soap mixture, fill up a squirt bottle, take a dish sponge and head out to your garden.
