I have my plants in my crawlspace, open area that has a decent ammount of spiders, today I go down and noticed black spots and turns out they are little aphids flies, probably 40 of them on the bigger plant, and inside my enclosed hood there are "clusters" of them all dead but they are all together in a bunch.

Am I full blown infested and need to cut down the crop and start over or can they be fought with insecticides? I have a spray or two in the shed that Ive used for spider mites when I first started growing, got those because I had next to nothing for fans, and what do you know I have only one small fan for this 3x3 space and it blows at the bottom of the tent, sure enough they are aphids and seem to be at the top of the grow space

"Spray plants and the surrounding soil with the hydrogen peroxide to control mites, gnats, aphids or other small insects. When spraying plants, spray a small leaf area first to test the effect of the hydrogen peroxide."

Winged aphids?.
If you seem them in clusters, prob bad news.
They are asexual, the flyers lay eggs constantly, your root zone is more than likely covered.
Week 4 of bloom, means nothing residual/chemical such as merit etc.
Sns makes a great product for your situation.
Azamax root drench can knock em back but they return pretty quick .
Let the pits dry between watering. Doc doom bomb will kill the flyers. Best of luck!

Have u got pics? You sure they’re aphids? Only a few “colonisers” usually have wings but majority aphids don’t.
