This Is my first time growing and I'm growing inside a shed. I have 4 plants that are 11 weeks into flower and they stretched a lot so their is bud and leaves everywhere. I just noticed the last couple days their are tiny little green bugs up towards the light on the tops of my bud area.
What should I do? I am about to harvest in acouple days? Will they go away when the bud drys eventually ?

Take a clean vacuum cleaner and suck those bugs and their egg off your buds..

Do this twice a day until you get our sure there's no bugs... No one wants to smoke bugs man.

When you trim really pull apart every bud and make sure it's not moldy or full of bug eggs before it leaves your house.

Green bugs might be aphids. Yep, being close to harvest, projectinfo has good advice. Brush off the ones you can see once or twice a day. You won't get rid of them all, but at least they shouldn't hurt your plants.

I was more curious to see if they will just stay with the bud as it drys and cures too?

Usually they split when you get started. I have a gross pic of some mites that all ran to the top of the stem after it was hung.
I'm gonna cut branch by branch and take each one outside instantly, shake it pretty good and then use a shop vac to suck off what I can before I take it back in to hang. But as far as hanging buds, do pest keep coming to them?

In my experience once they are hung and drying it is no longer a hospitable environment and for the most part they are more interested in leaving.
