I know exactly what they are.....a reason to spray. No idea but id start with neem and see if that works. Then if it doesnt id start getting into more intense sprays. I dont know what they are but theres a lot of them and they should go nest somewhere else or die.

wipe down your leaves with alcohol swabs. the second pic looks like aphids and the first looks like an alien invasion...idk...mb scale? in any event even soapy water will knock out aphids and the others can just be wiped away. okee dokee?

Least it is better to have them then spider mites :) whats the temp in your room and hum?
they both range I'm in the open outdoors. enough air circulation for the high humidity days though. but temps run high 80s low 90s. some triple digit days here and there but I hardened them off for weeks before putting them in full sun and still it was done gradually over another two weeks lol

I don't know what it could be and I don't wanna do something and then really fuck it up. but I feel if I sit back she's gonna die on me anyways. and I don't wanna switch to flower til I know she'll have enough grub to get through it.

I do see these. what are they and what can I do to stop them? could these little piss squirts be the cause of what seems to be a defeciency?
That is thrips use thripx spray it will not do owt to the plant and can use up untill 4th week flower and these bugs will stunt growth and leave little snail marks on leafs that look silver

Find an organic garden spray with some spinosaid D , use day 1, day 2 soapy water spray (4 drops joy per gallon), day 3 use water mixed isopropyl alcohol at 10:1 spray , then repeat, in 6 days no thrips ...

Spray at dusk, coat all sides of every leaf.
Best of luck.
Peace

wrap a bag over the plant, and pump co2 inside to kill bugs by suffocating them
Plants utilize CO2 as a primary ingredient in photosynthesis and depend on the gas for survival. However, under concentrated conditions, plant roots can actually be suffocated, which inhibits the uptake of nutrients, and subsequently kills the plants (Farrar et al. 1999; NIOSH
1976).

I don't think by doing it for 1 min straight will kill the plant.

I can tell you have research this technique extensively.Not.
Do you just give advice off the top of your head or do you have a book of bad ideas?
Question for you.
Is one minute long enough to kill the bugs and their eggs?

Spinosad will kill them in one shot. I have had them a few times. So far they are my most favorite problem to have. By that I mean I have had PM, Spider Mites, Fungus Gnats, and Thrips. Fungus Gnats don't present much of a problem to me, Thrips, I am not sure where I get them from. I have read of moths carrying pests. There are a lot of moths where I live... who knows? The other two are more of a PITA and require more intensive therapy lol. If using spinosad DRENCH the plant. Make sure you get the whole plant and it is dripping. You don't have to go more than that.

I have used this to kill spider mites. It also makes a good periodic leaf wash. It is mostly fish oil so is a good nitrogen boost too. As well as a nice leaf shine. Garden plants love it too!
