Growing as house plant, need advice

[Runa]

Hi everyone,
So I'm growing two autos and one photoplant as house plants. I am not interested in having a lot to harvest because I live in a foreign country and don't really have any friends that smoke so can't share it, can't sell it... My goal is to have something little for myself. I have planted the seeds in the middle of April. Autos are "automatic hypnotic" that allegedly should be ready in 6 weeks... The photoplant is "Maroc" and it is in the middle - first photo. They grow in mix of coco fiber, compost and perlite. They do not have much direct sunlight because... Well neighbours. The autos already have flowers... Small ones - first photo. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how long will they take to fully bloom?Also, I noticed some bugs on them - 3rd photo. I have taken them down manually. I don't feel comfortable spraying pesticides if I will eventually smoke them. Do you think the bug issue should be treated with pesticides and which one do you recommend. How do plants look to you guys in general? And yeah, how often do you water at this stage? When the top of the soil is dry or...?
Thanks in advance.

If you mix a few teaspoons of dimataceous earth in water with dawn blue dish soap, it will leave sandy residue once dry. Bugs will go elsewhere. Must rinse a few days later. Better than pesticide imo!

You have 6-8 weeks before the auto's are done.

The bugs are aphids. You can wipe them off gently with a damp cloth. Shouldn't be too much trouble as the plants are small.

Thanks, I might try that if they return. I saw them on another plant I have in my house and I presume they migrated. But, I will risk sounding like an idiot, I heard plants should not have water on them... Allegedly it damages the flower... Is that some BS or should I really keep them away from rain? I thought of placing them on my terrace that thankfully does not have view on my neighbours house...

Thanks, I think they are not really dangerous so I did take them manually. 6 to 8 weeks sounds right but will post photos later on. I do not want to harvest them too early.

Add 2-3 weeks to the breeder estimate.
If that terrace has better light from the sun, you're better off leaving them out there.

Thanks, yeah I am thinking of moving them outside but we had really rainy last couple of weeks. Hopefully the weather gets better.

They definitely need it
