Aphids - Caught Early - Close to Harvest

what's the protocol if one has a very early aphid problem (wouldn't say infestation), limited to 1-2 specific buds (actually, fan leaves) very close to harvest?

leaves where any problems were found were removed. not seeing anything in buds.

keep an eye on them for the next week until chop? remove buds entirely just for a couple aphids?

like i mentioned. not an infestation, just very early signs.

thanks.

tbh not even sure if aphids but that's what it seems like.

very small translucent ovalish bugs and some (what looks like) white particles (not mold), like if you took a paper towel and rubbed it together. like small white filament almost.

Nothing?

Did some research, would washing it be as beneficial as people make it seem?

Didn't wash but found a way to stop it quickly and easily. Checked 100pct of plant and no signs.

What was that? I had seen your thread earlier but I have no answer. I've been battling them for awhile now. Did H202 wash, Dr. Zymes, Neem Oil in Veg. These things are immortal.

read that 90+ deg will knock them down good and/or kill them.

high heat (kept constant 95deg for 36hr). would have gone higher but that's as hot as i could get it.

also, humidity was kept ultra low (35pct through that period), but unsure if that had anything to do with it.
