I discovered bugs!!! :(

So I discovered some tiny bugs that create a dense web around the tops. This plant is a mother of clones I took which are all in flowering stage now, had this mother off to the side a bit however did notice a couple of these bugs on another plant but no where near as bad. Also a strange white almost looks like powder on a leaf. Took pics. Any suggestions on what these little bastards are and any safe way to get rid of them? I am a week in to flowering.
These are the pics of the bugs and web:




And this last pic is of the leaf, kind of a white powdery looking substance, hard to capture it with phone cam:

Hey brotha! Sorry about your bug problem! I was recently looking at this website, which seems to have a few good ideas! http://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/7-ways-to-keep-pests-off-marijuana-plants/ Maybe one of these can help you out! good luck!

As far as mites go these are the best ones to have.
Still sux.
You have to break the breeding cycle.
I would apply whatever toxin you choose every three days for a total of three times. Maybe even 4.

You don't want to go into flower with mites it just gets harder to kill them.

You should also alternate pesticides so they don't become immune.

I'm not going to recommend a product but I will say I never really had luck with organic remedies.

You have a bad case.

I would nuke it

I am going to try biological control with fungi this time. Our main problem is gnats.
The fungi I am using can kill 100% of adults in 8 days, it is less effective on the two juvenile stages though.
It can also be used against mites, white fly etc. Some people recommend Knocking them back with Pyrethrum or similar shit first and then going in with the fungi.

I just got tired of thinking I won just to have them show back up after a few weeks of flowering.
Haven't had to deal with them for a while. Knock on my heard head

I remember trying ladybugs.
Jesus Christ I had ladybugs everywhere and mites.

They were cute though

I'm buying an ozone generator for my room, the best way to reset everything between grows for the money. Will get into places sprays never will. I don't want bugs shitting in my buds, not even cute ones.

That's awesome.
Learn something new Erry day.

They even use it to clean places of old people who piss themselves out.

It is like peroxide for your air. It oxidizes everything.

I just google that shit.
Prices range from 60 then jump to the near 300 range. I'm assuming the 60 is worthless. Maybe you can rent one if you only use it for resets.

Yeah, they are not expensive to hire it is just that I am out in the sticks.
I am looking for something around $300.

Neem oil for spider mites. A layer of sand on top of your soil for fungus gnats I hope this helps

Spinosad is also an effective one and safe in flower too. I would use neem and spinosad(not together) Several treatments a few days apart, make sure you get every inch of every plant.

I chopped down that mother in the pics last night. I have 16 others in flower. Bought some stuff off amazon to spray in there so we'll see. Looks like spider mites, not sure if there's any correlation but had a pretty bad infestation with nats when I was in veg but after moving them from florescent lights and in to the room with my HPS it seemed the heat and apple cider soap I used killed them off since it's been like 90 days since I noticed that mother was covered in spider mites.

Ordered some neem oil, was writing this post before seeing that 1, thanks.

Good luck either way.
Your environment may be hard to control, meaning kids, pets. Temps etc.

Once I stopped taking in clones my troubles pretty much went away.

But it also helps that no one goes in my room but me.

These mites breed like crazy in high temps so you can use that to slow them down while you battle them.
Cool them down

Also if you do take in a clone
Keep it for away from your grow while you observe it for a few days.

Good luck

OP's choice of name is why he got bugs.
