Beginning to feel hopeless. Root aphids mites I just don’t know

Starting to feel like giving up. I’ve battled root aphids thrips and mites. And I feel like I’m
Losing the battle.

I’ve used pyrethrum bombs, bontigard ES, new pots new dirt (hpcc) new saucers cleaned my room throughly and I’m still at a lost.

Yesterday the guy at the local store recommended I use this new product called pure crop 1. 2 ounces per gallon of water. I cannot remove my ladies from the pot so he recommended to feed with above recommendation straight to the soil.

Well the next the day they wilted like I never seen before. I hope they bounce back in a few days. Gonna let them dry out.

So i noticed a cluster of white dots/insects on the brim, sides and tops of my pots. They weren’t there the day before. I’m assuming the pure crop 1 caused them to come out. They were moving fast too. So I need help in identifying the pest and the right mode of action. I took a video, I apologize I zoomed in best I could.

Root aphid? Mite? Thrip? Springtail (please be this)

Anyone else with input?

I feel for you man. 2 years ago I had a major battle with spider mites and they won. just clean your room after harvest and start with new soil. it will get better

Nope. Any good results with it? Just looked it up. Fairly inexpensive. I got some beneficial nematodes that I wanna use when I go into flower. Just trying to kill off as many as I can during veg

I had excellent results against outdoor white flies. I haven't had any issues with insect since.

I'm sure it's not the best option and people will say your paying for water but I've used mighty wash the one time I got mites. Sprayed the plants down to the point the leafs are drooping from all the spray on them. Did that 4 times 3 days apart and knock on wood but I've been mite free since then.

I feel your pain. My first time growing outdoors and have dealt with nute burn, deficiencies, mites, aphids, plant issues from bug treatment....just waiting for the powdery mildew and then bud rot. What doesn’t kill them makes me crazy? This hobby isn’t for the faint of heart.best of luck...don’t give up!!!
