Maybe try neem oil or soapy water on the leaves and stems of your plants.

Spray them off, then spray with Insecticidal soap (as long as its plants that are okay with it)

Reapply every week, until you don't see anymore. If i remember correctly this only works on the nymphs and adults, so you'll need to reapply to kill anything that hatches out after treatment. And definitely hit leaf bottoms with it. Also do it as the lights are going out, or turn off artificial till it dries, so you don't get scorching from the sun/light hitting the soap on the leaves
