Help With Flowering And Aphids

KaylasKush said:

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 :)

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 :)
