Many recommend using citric acid to control bugs, I also read about using vinegar solution, soap & water works too.
I never tried any of the above though

I'm battling them right now. Went through flower, Harvested and now I'm back to Veg so I'm using Neem Oil. While I was in Flower I read about a Apple Cider Vinegar Mix and went that route. Don't do it lol, I swear they exploded and loved it.

If anything I think the next step for me if I still have them when I go to flower is Hot Pepper mix I read about (Don't feel like googling it right now). I forgot if it was Cayenne or Habanero but I think that would be the best way.

I've tried Dr. Zymes and it worked somewhat but it didn't fully take them out either.

Aphids are a nightmare lol. Good luck.

Have access to a bell pepper plant? Aphids prefer them to cannabis due to higher N content. They find the pepper plants quickly.
I've also sprayed 1:1 ISO/water in early flower.

ISO ?

All you need to do is spray them off with water. That's the simplest remedy. You'll need to do that anyway if you use something to kill them first since they leave a nasty mess of crap and dead bugs. You don't want to just kill them and leave them on your plants.
