sorry for the late update.
i ordered a bottle of botanigard online, and it didn't have any instructions for hydroponic usage. so i called the 800 number on the bottom, and talked to a guy there.
he suggested basically what i read online.
make up a solution of botanigard and water, 10:1 ratio, and put each plant in that for 1 hour. the botanigard only stays alive for 24 hours after it's mixed with water.
i had a small 2 gallon bucket, so i used that to mix the botanigard solution in, the botanigard is expensive, like 80 bucks for a quart, so i wanted to use a little bucket.
i put an airstone in the bucket of botanigard solution, and put each plant in there for 1 hour, rotating em around, 1 plant at a time.
a few days later, i only see a couple bugs, so i washed the buckets and plants roots to knock off all the bugs, and i haven't seen 'em since.
so, the outcome is buy botanigard for root aphids.
