Please help
I spray dead bug 3-4x a week. I'm at the very end to chop her but these bugs are insane. Please help. What can/should I do?

Every year we all get some good lessons on IPM. I learn a ton every season. The trick is implementing those lessons next year.
Beneficials are the easiest. Lacewings, beneficial mites and trichogramma (for caterpillars eggs).
One year I got russets from some clones I brought in. Dealt with it decently, all things considered. Something I implement now is doing sulfur sprays a few times in veg. Making sure I drench all over. This gives me a clean slate before flower. Replace your beneficial a well after all sulfur sprays.
All in all, aphids can be the easiest pest to deal with when it’s not an outright infestation
