Help with Aphids

Continuing the discussion from Am I SCROGGING Correctly?:

:smile: Hello to everyone…
Can someone recommend an effective Aphid killer? I have been down the road of Capt.Jacks Dead Bug and Insecticidal Soap.
I re applied 1-2 X’s per week.
I got most, but of coarse eggs, babies left behind have decided to come back, when my plants are in week 3 of Flowering.
I’m adding some Silica separately from any nutrients. Silica builds pest resistance on your plants.
The good thing is, they are not infested.
I also rinsed the plants in the shower, but it was a bitch because I had a lumbar fusion a few months ago.
Any and all recommendations for the Aphids??… Thank you all so much,
Dina

Depends on the route you want to take. Predatory bugs or organic insecticides?

Ladybugs are predators of aphids.

Growers Ally, Azamax, Capt Jacks, organishield are jast a few safe to use in flower.

When using Deadbug, I mix at 1.5 times recommended amount. Spray every 3 days for at least 2 weeks to break their cycle.

Tap them into a plastic container and freeze them.
Order some lady bugs online and let them control the aphids.
Soapy water can also be used for aphids and spider mites. Lather up some soap in warm tap water and wipe it over the insects.
