So sorry to hear you have confirmed root aphids. I was in same situation as you when I joined this forum. I had to figure it out on my own a year later. No one hear knows root aphids. I have some suggestions for you but none is fully effective. As I said in earlier post the best you can hope for is to slow them down and hope the buds beat the bugs. First thing is to put dilute hydrogen peroxide on them. This will disturb them and get them to quick feeding for short time.It will also clean up any root disease that may have started on bug sucking areas. You can treat with a product called Azera. Be very careful because if the roots are already damaged by the aphids it will hurt or kill the plants. The only other thing you can do is remove the plant or add lots of b1 and nutes and pray. One other thing about root aphids. If your plants make it through flower and are still alive the quality of the bud will suffer severely. Unfortunately I know these devils well. I have 2years finding out what I had and 2 years fighting them. The only thing you can do about root aphids is not get them in the first place. It took a long time but now I know how to avoid them. Good luck your gonna need it.

You can also use a product called PFR-297 by Certis. This is a microbial insecticide. It works but slowly. Takes couple weeks to see results. Will not work if already heavily infested. Works better with a knock down like peroxide or Azera first. It is very, very expensive $250. for 5 pounds. Don't know if you can buy it smaller.
