I'd seriously give some thought to what everyone above said, shut-it all down and rethink how you are growing. Keep it simple. Good luck, though.

Gonna need to find a guerrilla spot to grow outdoors then. A tent on your balcony is gonna get infested every time. Ain’t trying to be a dick, but you’re waisting your time, and money trying to make that work. You don’t have like an empty corner wall or somewhere you can fit a 9sqft tent in? Maybe size down to a 2x2 or a 2x4(I have one in my kitchen next to the fridge) worst case scenario you hold off on growing till you’re better situated for it. Looks like you did alright other than the infestation at the end though so when you are ready you’ll do real well.

can you hose them down? Even a hand sprayer set on stream will take them off to late for chems. no need to trash if only 1 plant get on top it.
will you recommend spaying the entire plant once? i think now is in early stage, how about the buds? spray them too?

Spray them off like @thumper60 said.

Don't bother with ladybugs or predators at this stage. Spray with a citric acid spray to kill the aphids and then spray with plain water to wash off all the dead bugs, their excrement, and eggs. Then Put a fan on the plant to dry it out. You'll have to do a thorough and there could still be contamination left behind.

Aphids are not that hard to get rid of. They're easier than mites. A citric acid spray will kill them. You have to wash the plants afterwards as aphids leave behind a bunch of crap.

Plant resin and aphid honeydew share some properties. Aphids really bring the icky to the sticky...

I'd be extra sure to get as much of the aphid crap off the plant too if you end up keeping it, it's a really good vector for fungal disease.

thanks for reminding me! yes, they left many tiny white shells, I had cut one branch and used lemon juice and baking soda to wash it, I washed 3 times and still have some shell stick in the bug, and even one is alive on the leave...... I will cut another one and try H2O2 3% later.
