Smash the aphids, they give off a smell that makes others not want to be there.
ISO and water some use 1 part ISO with 8 parts water, I use 50/50. Spray the plants with the lights off (dusk), start with the under side then the top side and soak the hell out of them. The ISO kills only the adults but not the eggs thus one must do this every 3 days (no more than 4) to kill the new hatch. This will need to be done at least 3 times, then watch very closely for a new hatch. This works as well as the spinosad products and leaves only water behind. Oh ya did I say ventilate the area while the alcohol evaporates?
Lady bugs are best, if this is outside, other things from mother nature also (praying mantis) predatory mites etc.Comment

I think it would be odd for aphids in Sask at this time of year, unless you brought some other store bought plants into the house, or had an infestation that somehow survived indoors all winter long. 🤷♂️There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)Comment

brought in a outdoor plant can usually control them but became ill for about 4 weeks so they were lucky to get water still wondering what those black bean type pods are only affected the sativa not the indicaComment
