I noticed that in my flowering room some of the plants had been a meal for some sort of critter. After close inspection I realized that what ever it was is only eating the top of the leaves and scraping away a fine layer of green, thus leaving tiny spots like a checker board. I have had mites in the past and these bugs are certainly not a mite or Gnat.

Under a Magnifying glass they look like tiny grains of white rice, some with a tiny brownish spot in the center of them. They move like an inch worm and when bothered they can leap, similar to a flea or lice. I have ruled out Mites, Gnats and Lice, due to fact that I Googled all of them and found nothing that looks the same. Even under a magnifier, I cant get a great look, they are really small.

Any Ideas what they are? I sprayed all the plants and the entire room with "Go Gnats" spray. I works wonderful usually.

On a stranger note, they have been eating the AK 47 and White widows but have not touched the Santori plant at all.... Wierd shit.

You've got me stumped with that small description and no pics. Maybe see if this key helps you http://www.entomology.umn.edu/cues/4015/key/. You may have to collect a sample and watch their lifecycle. If they were larvae, they would eventually develop into an adult so you may want to keep an eye on them.

try searching thrips

holy shit, i think you have what I have. What the hell are they? They dont seem to be hurting my plants much. Are you noticing any black spots on leaves (tiny), or shiny spots, like metallic sheen kind of, or reflective like a slug trail? Oh, and check out my thread I posted..
Help! Found some weird TINY bugs on leaves

I sure am, I see those tiny microscopic black spots near the area where the little bugs have been. WTF are they???..

Fantastic information on the link, thank you + Rep.

I can't tell for sure what they are, but I have a few Ideas. I need to take a closer look under a microscope to see the real details of what they are.. Thanks though.

It looks just like thrip damage, but the little shits don't look like thrips to me. Although maybe I just cant see them close enough to make an ID..

I'm with you. Thrips, or leafminers. Although, leafminers leave a trail, and today I noticed some bigger ones that looked alot different. Could have been a bigger different bug, but I have a feeling they are one in the same. I just picked up some avatrol which should work. It's well spoken of at the local shop. I've used flouramite (sp?) for mites, and it worked great with one application, and supposedly this stuff is the next best thing. I don't know if flouramite would work though, on these guys. I'll give you a post in a couple days after I apply the azatrol.. Using it tmw morning at 6 a.m. Oh, and have you noticed them jumping at all? Mine are yellow, or white, or a whitish-yellow, and they jump, or crawl across the leaf. I think the black spots are their poop, too...

I hear you. Thrips are the culprid I think. The black spots might be poop or maybe the plants cells are sucked dry of clorophyll and look like that when empty. Who knows. I'm gonna post a new thread now about using a fogger I just bought. I don't know if it's dangerous.

Sounds like Thrips. I had them in my last grow. Nothing too major if you catch them early. Clean and Neem. Clean your grow room real good and mix up a neem oil solution and it will take care of them. Also get some Sticky card fly traps, put them under your plants, after a couple days you will get an idea of how bad they are by how many hit the sticky card, and its easier to ID the different stages of growth when the fuckers are stuck to a sticky card..
