Tiny bugs small as spider mites. I didn't even know they had bugs till I looked under the scope. I have never seen these on anything else or anywhere else but in my indoor.

I thought I had a fungus problem or something like that.

So, what are they? Neem oil and pyrethrins work well, but don't forget to spray every week.

100% sure this is not "Broad mites". They look like tiny white pill millipede. Here are some more pics. PLEASE IDENTIFY if you can. Phone doesn't take good microscope pic, sorry.

Have you seen moths in your grow? Reason I ask is bc these bastards bring in micro mites. They have brought 2 different types of micromites into my indoor grow. They have brought in broad mites and rust mites. Moths take naps on trees and shrubs that are infected with a micromite and then they get on the moths and hitch a ride infecting other plants they take naps on. These mites you have are doing the same damage as broad mites and rust mites. But rust mites leave rust on the stem and destroy your plant at the colas and from the bottom of the plant and up and can only be seen at 30X zoom and not by the naked eye (thats why i ruled them out bc you can see em). I thought i knew just about everything that could infect a pot plant...this one boggles me.. Id get some spinosad on them, neem and bomb your grow 2 days in a row...this could devestate your indoor for the winter....so get em gone with a triple treatment of all 3

Sprayed them yesterday with mixed neem oil and deltamethrin. This morning I checked them out and the pests have migrated to the highest points possible. I'll spray again tonight cause they seem just aggravated and super lively.

I'll add some fresh sticky fly traps to see if I can catch a few adults.

Ya if you can positively ID them youll have better luck. And neem oil doesnt really kill stuff, well maybe weak ass stuff, but its mostly a bug deterrent.

I am not seeing any adult thrips, so I find that unusual.


I'm tripping out now... sprayed most my buds with captain jack.

I do believe you have correctly identified my problem. For mites I go all out on and use Avid. I'll be mite free with one spraying.

After watching that now I am 100% sure they are not thrip larvae. If you watch my video you will see the anotomy is way different. Mine have legs really close to the head.

My dad worked at Mosquito abatement for over 30 years and they use traps like that for counts of Mosquito in the area. Some of the traps attract with light and others with dry ice.
