I found on the very top closest to the light on my white widow some black bugs, very small with what looks like clear front, they are so tiny it is very hard to see them. I tried to take a pic with a magnifying glass and camera and it didn't work. I only seen them on the plant closest to the light. about 10 of them on each leaf about 4 inches down the plant. I looked over other areas and don't see any. I've never had a bug issue before so this is new to me. They don't appear to be spider mites since I can't see the side legs and the color is wrong. they look like tiny oblong dots with a semi clear white face with tiny feet or feelers in the front and in one section. Not sure how to describe it. I am posting some pics, but not sure if they are clear enough to even be usefull.

I had bugs a few times also,, always different ones and microscopic,,, just google bugs on plants and you should be able to track it down,,, neem oil works great for most bugs,, all bugs Ive had in the past,, hit the plant once and no more bugs,, at least it worked excellent for me and many others on here.

Also, they don't fly but move around pretty fast. I will go to the hydro store once I know what I am dealing with. I looked all over and can't seem to find pics of this bug.

i had the same problem and was told they were spidermite, went to my local hydroponics shop and brought some NITE NITE SPIDERMITE, hope this might help, also buy a pocket microscope for a few quid then you will be able to see exactly wot you are dealing with

They are not spider mites, they live underneath the leafs and leave behind small brown dots, dead cells. Not to sure what but I would mix some soap and water in a pail and dunk the plant in it a couple of times and do the others just in case. JUST THE PLANT NOT THE DIRT.

You can find the formula on the board.
