Mites

My second indoor grow. First went well. I have a 4x3 closet and have 450w real watts of led.
I am growing 1 northern lights and 4 gdp. I am 10 days from flip and 4 days into active flower.
Was doing some underneath cleanup and noticed small brown spots on the larger fan leaves. Closer inspection uncovered eggs on the underside. This was only on the NL. Nothing was found on any of the gdp’s.
I am certain I dragged them in. I have two outdoor plants as well as a very large vegetable garden and I am around garden plants all day long. I’ll be more careful moving on.
I used Captain Jacks on them all. Active and preventative. Inspected today and everything seems which makes me happy.
I’ll also wiped down the closet and equipment.
Instructions say wait 3-7 to reapply which I will do because these little fu$&ers have been known to hide.
I have no experience with these critters. I’ve gotten some real good advice and knowledge on RIU.
Fire away

These will abandon the plant after killing most bugs. You can keep them around by keeping a flowering geranium or other flowering plant in your room. They live on pollen when not eating thrips or mites.

Spider mites live by dirt roads and in barrow ditches. They're very easy to bring in.

Oh shit! I may have some off these floating around already!! I’ll get a microscope so I can take pics. I clearly see eggs. And a couple different types of bugs. One def looks like a spider mite. Others look like this
