Have you seen the aphids on the roots? Root aphids are fairly uncommon the white specks could be many diff things.
What made you come to the conclusion its root aphids?
Pics would help

Please don't spray neem in flower. It's not good to ingest nor is it good for your pistils.

Little white spots on the leaves can be from a variety of things but generally when I hear white dots on leaves I think spider mites.
I didnt Spray on the buds, just on fan leaves but i wont Spray anymore... used the dyna gro brand... i got Paranoid because the bottom leaves started to yellow... some started to fall off

That's generally a nitrogen deficiency.

Someone recommended dionide or something like that for pest but i was Giving grow big and in another post they told me stop using it
They probably told you to stop using it because you had over done it.

But your plants will always need a certain level of nitrogen even thru flower.

Have you seen the schedule for fox farms nutrients?

Spinosad not dionide.. lol. It's that or citric acid. These are the only things I would use in flower. Both are organic and won't affect the buds. I prefer Spinosad for extreme pest infestation in flower. Citric acid will burn the leaf tips. Tiny white bugs that hang out in leaf veins are thrips not aphids btw.

Tbh the plant looks fine other than the clawing and the yellow leaves prob fell off because of not enough light getting down there. The plant is lanky indicating low light levels
I think youre just reading stuff on the internet and putting 2+2 together and thinkin you have something you dont have. But without looking inside the pot you wont know for 100%
