That’s what we must look like on earth to aliens..
It’s gotta be more than 30 leaves. How did it take you so long to notice?
Pics of buds?

Aphids. .. in the last month? That's a big problem.... and if you found that many on one leaf... start over. Bomb the place. From what I hear, they're hard to get rid of, like may other Cannabis pest like spider mites, thrips, aphids, etc. Unless you don't mind washing your buds really good. But damn... that's an infestation.

Yeah... I'd shuck everything in a burn pile, and bomb the room.. then bomb it again. Then come up with a good IPM schedule.

OP.. your buds are obviously on the struggle bus with this infestation. I know it's hard to come to terms with scraping this project and starting over, but you need to get a hold of this situation, or you're going to do a repeat on the next run. I know months of work down the drain sucks... but cut your losses, and fix your room. Spray (at lights out) Captain Jacks on top and bottom of leafs in veg, and keep doing that every week on your next run. You can even spray your top soil and grow tent. Spinosad is cheap (same thing as capt Jacks) just cheaper by the concentrate.

Clean everything ….. grow areas / drip pans / containers / etc.
Sry you had this happen but no way you can start fresh with heavy pest issues.

I've tried the Cap't Jacks ready to spray, but I found Spinosad in concentrate at a hydro store, and it's much cheaper to mix it yourself. Goes a long ways. I found early Thrips, and after 2 applications during early veg, they were gone. Gotta get under every leaf tho, and the tops. During lights out only.

Scrap it, fumigate your house, start over. Sucks but ya gotta do it or it’s gonna keep happening.
Be more careful about contaminating your grow in the future. Remove outside clothes before even going your tents room especially if you were doing any sort of outdoor activities (gardening, yard work, hiking etc) if you’re out around bugs you’re bringing em in.

your growing weed in a tent outside? why don't you grow autos in a small greenhouse or polytunnel?
Due to space issue, my tent is outdoor, I should prevent it, anyway, thanks for all the advice, sounds like it's going to RIP, I will prepare for the worst and hope for the best, now, the bugs only stay at the top and big fan leaves, so it's not hard to find and remove, now only 20-30 leaves has bugs, and I cut the whole leave, some only have 1 or 2 bugs, I remove it by hand, and I had checked the entire plant and seems its ok, I will keep checking it every day, let's see and will update.

Not gonna work, you do want to spray in late flower because that shits no good to smoke(not even the organic pesticides) grow tents are poorly sealed enclosed areas with poor airflow it’s gonna get infested every time. If you’re growing outdoors do it without the tent. Open air or greenhouse. Or build and wire a shed.
Sorry, didn't explain clear, outdoor just the balcony, I live in the city and the balcony only has 1-hour sunlight, and now the temp is 12c and HM87%, I use SF4000 grow light and a3x3x6 feet tent.
