Aphids are loving my delicious plant nectar!!!!!! Need advice on how to control/prevent.

[TigerStripes]

Good afternoon everyone!

So, I believe I am seeing Aphids on my near 8 week old outdoor garden.

10 plants in 20 gallon fabric pots.

Small white/green buggers, crawling around ever so slowly.

Early stages, as there are maybe 10-20 per plant, that I can see.

Does anyone have a recommendation for how to control these from progressing?

Strain is MandalaSeeds:
Fast N Glorious
Regular/non-feminized

Fox farms Ocean Forest/Happy Frog
50/50 Mix

Feeding with Fox Farms Trio @ 50%

Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide!

Spray bottle,,70% water 30% alcohol, teaspoon of dish soap. Shake good and spray your plant down real good. It will kill them on contact. You will have to repeat a few times because of eggs,but it will work.

I have been using this citrus based spray, and they appear to be gone. Have only sprayed 3x.

Thanks to all for the replies.

I think next round I will order the lady bugs.

I always have a few. They never get bad enough to worry me. Soon as they bud I don't have any problems. I've planted bag seeds beside mandala plants and the bag seed plants are much more affected by pests.
