Pest attack

i went outside to check on my plant and saw aphids on it any suggestions how to get rid of them without using an insectacide? I have ortho malathion plus, it says you can use it on vegetables, but it is still sketchy.:-?

what ever you do hit them now before they blow up and flower. I use organicide on mine which seems to keep them away at least. Never had any insect problems using organicide. But again, make sure you spray as much as you can before they flower
 
I sprayed her down today but her leaves are bending down as if I overwatered. Positive mental attitude is she is going to bounce back strong, only time will tell.

Hey man if you can move your'e plant outside. Or if your'e plant is already outside. And if your'e plant is not in late flowering or with heavy with buds. (you could damage your'e plant by breaking limbs or causing mold)
This is what I have realized to work the best for me.
Take your garden hose attach an adjustable spray nozzle, and then thin the water pressure till the water coming out of the end of the nozzle is spraying a heavy mist. Then throughly spray the plants down from bottom to the top. Give your'e plant over night to bounce back then mix a solution of neem oil,organic dish soap and water. Then put it in a spray bottle and cover the plant all over top to bottom side to side. (Neem oil is organic and can be found online or at Lowes)
Repeat these steps once every 8 days or intel all the little critters are dead.
GOOD LUCK
 
@fatalack I just gave her some water earlier and bought some Safer brand 3-in-1. I sprayed her after watering but I'm going to try your regiment. Thanks for the intel.
@legal eagle fuck ortho i went with my gut feeling and said fuck that.
