Hypoaspis Miles, Aphids, or Spider Mites?

Hey dudes and dudettes, trying to figure out what this bug is. Have Azamax on the way either way.. but for curiosity sake and educational purposes I'd like to know what this bug is on my girl. The dead black spots + the "adult" I found is leading me to think its Aphids. Thanks!

Is your plant dying at the tops or from the bottom?

Can you zoom in on the bug closer?

Not hypoaspis miles, they dwell only in the soil, and don't move up on to the plant itself.

Not aphids, because their shit is clear, shiny, and sticky...not black

They're dying from the bottom. My bottom growth is severly stunted but the top is looking to push forward. I can't get in any closer, this is a McGuyver cell phone + microscope combo photo. They're super tiny.

Edit: Here's the imgur album that you can zoom into: http://imgur.com/a/BHbYG

According to google dead black spots like that are dead Aphid bugs, but google isnt always right. What else could it be? It doesnt look like spider mites. Thripes could be a possibility.

Just found out my problem is Thrips (due to the black dot thing). Case closed, thanks all.

Something with Spinosad in it will do the trick. Monterrey Garden Insect Spray

Got me some Azmax which will cover any future problems as well. ^^

Switch up your pesticides and miticides every so often , they get immuned. Now that you have thrips its a must to do a weekly regiment especially threw the warmer months

Yeah, what Diabolical said, spinosad and rotate sprays weekly or monthy

Thanks guys I will. Thats so crazy tho, how are they able to become immune so fast unlike humans? Wicked. Do I keep doing this up to Veg only or during flower too (how does it work if its for flower also? I'm guessing not)

Once you start to get tricks its time to stop spraying, if you have no sign of bugs I would stop before putting into flower and just watch them closely

Thanks Diabolical666 I appreciate the feedback. Just sprayed and watered with Spinoside today and next week it will be alternate to Azamax. I will keep this up until flowering.

Last question, Can I use both Azamax & Spinoside during flowering (if they unfortunately come back)? How do I safely use it when they start to flower with buds, wouldn't it be toxic for human consumption if they are on the bud itself? If so, how can I rid of any toxins so its safe? Thank you again very much my friends

Try your hardest to get rid of them before flower. If you sprayed them today...spray them again tmrw too if they arnt stressed. Really focus in between the nodes thats where they hide
