So i decided to get "Soil" Root Organics Emerald Mountain a try this time instead of Pro-mix, as they are Autos and figured having a good nute-base from jump would be good. Pots cleaned, tent cleaned, seeds straight into soil covered with saran wrap. Three days later go up and remove wrapping, as they had sprouted. While sitting there admiring my little ladies, i see something move...... then another... then all i see is little white specks moving, 100x shows me Root Aphids. 
sprayed with neem oil for past 3-4 days. movement has slow'n but still there, added a Layer of diatomaceous earth Go on mud porch and kick remaining half bag of soil. Then i think "i wonder how hot these little fuckers can take" pour the remaining mix in tin turkey pans cover with tin foil, put oven on 350... lets get baking 3 hours latter i take out the dirt. Got it all in sealed clean container gonna wait and see if the D.E. does the trick, if not i think i will trash the plants and try again..
1. Do you think cooking the soil will kill off the eggs and live pest in soil?
2. Whats the odds of D.E. and Neem Oil fixing it?
3. Should i jus toss them and try again with Pro-mix?
