I'm putting my Columbus cones in the Excalibur food dehydrator tonight. There are plenty of cones that look all right, but have aphids under the petals. Some just a few aphids, others a bit more.
Should I use all the cones? How much energy should I devote to brushing the aphids off?
Also--some cones are quite sticky on the outside. I don't think it's lupulin--it may be honeydew, or whatever the stuff that aphids secrete is called. Any problem with drying and using those cones?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
