Im pretty sure its an insect of some sort. Not sure if it is a type of mite? It mainly affect one plant ..mostly on 2 or 3 leaves and has been getting worse for a few days and has landed on a few of the other leaves in the tent. They are kinda black.....i dont see any thread or anything like that..so i dont think its spidermites? how can i end this infestation? help please!

hard to tell if thats poop or mites from the pic are they walking around or flying around? how about near/in your soil...see anything there?

i would say walking. There is one leaf that has some eggs under it. what could put those dots in the leaf?does it look like mite damage? the is not much in and around the soil. the eggs are def. white ish

The dots are your leaves stifling from them sucking the life out of them from underneath. I have used both azamax and mighty wash and I would go with the mighty wash. Follow up a week later with whatever you use to kill eggs that have hatched

I use Azamax weekly until it's gone. I also want to grab some Liquid Ladybug. I got my mites from a clone that got passed on to me. You live and you learn..lol.

Not only that bro, vacuum the grow area and room every day for the next two weeks and empty in outside bin.

After most of them have gone away and died, set up some sticky fly pads to get the last remaining few. Hopefully you will only need to spray that stuff once. I don't think insecticides are good for buds. Probably have aneffect on the taste. know what I mean?
 
Dude I went through this for six weeks. im in the middle of flowering too. this is no joke. heres what to do.... first of all, do not listen to anybody suggestiong to use liquid insecticides at this point. As it will cause ur buds to look and taste like shit and mold. I used neemoil for six weeks when I first found them. i drenched the leaves top and bottom. drenched them and they kept comming back the little fuckers. U have to do something now and i mean now because the mothers lay 1000 eggs a day and eggs hatch in three days. they can take over and destroy ur plants quick. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and get this exact product - HOT SHOT NO PEST STRIP. follow me exactly here.... hang the no pest strip above ur girls in the exact grow area 2 - 4 feet above them, For the first 12 hour lights out period. The trick here is to leave the fan off so the active ingredient can permiate the air by the next lights on period u shouldnt see too many traces of them anymore. however, we are not done yet. remember the eggs??? keep the no pest strip in your direct growing area for the next three nights with the fan back on as usual. I guarentee u those fuckers will be dead. however u will still see some dead eggs on the bottoms of ur leaves. dont worry. u can rub them off with ur hands gently if u prefer. on the fifth night i took the no pest strip out of my direct growing area and just hung it in the main room about 8 feet from my growbox area. if u follow my directions they should be gone. Mine are dead, gone, zilcho. Hope this works for u. Let me know please.

Spider mites are damn near impossible to get rid of, they leave pheromones on their nesting grounds that lead them right back to where they either breed at or were hatched at. Azamax and mighty soap cleans that up but does not efficiently kill the actual pests. Neem oil is a good organic pesticide to rid the pests on contact, use all three to rid the problem. Clean you grow space every single day and take out trash everyday. Prune infected leaves and rid them by shredding the leaves and/or burn them or toss them in a garbage across town or far away from your home for two reasons: evidence is public property once placed into the trash and pests can find their homes quite easily!
Good luck

I used the "soapy" cleaner...and my shit is even more messed up the next day when i look in the tent. WTF isnt it supposed to get better. i am super chocked right now. I am tempted to chop this bitch down save what i can and start the dutch passion " the ultimate" i got sprouting. soooooo mad!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually would like to make this "mite"species extinct not from my tent but the whole planet, i think i will slowly torture some of them. Does anybody know how i could do this? first i would be willing to give up some of my havest to inflict this pain to them. I was doing so good, but now i have been reduced to this sad mess.

I promise you all. the mites will die before my plants do. a minuite or two at least, probably fire.

i am going to bed now. when i get up the lights turn on, and i will check the tent. If it is worse i will check on here for a miracle. If not i will chop the 50 percnt worst leaves right off the plants. i will then vacume the tent, soak that son of a bitch in the whole bottle of insectacide. and then maybe i should shave my junk just to be safe.



im sad.
