Plant Problem. Please Help! Bugs and Water issues. Pics. +rep

Hi all,

I have some major issues with my Himalayan Gold. A few days ago it was fine, and was fed its nutes and was watered with its normal feeding schedule. It showed signs of nute stress and was immediately flushed. I went to sleep and when I checked on it in the morning I was unpleasently surprised by some major and horrible changes. I have little orange looking bugs all over my plant on its leaves and even the stem. I have no idea as to what kind they are. I looked up all the different types of mites, aphids, whiteflies, etc.. and cant seem to find any that look like this. They almost looks like little orange caviar specs all over my plant. Not only do I have these bugs, but my plant has gone from being green and perky, to being extremely droopy and the leaves are beginning to wilt. Im am extremely scared that i am going to lose my plant. I immediately sprayed the shit out of the plant with a Neem oil, soap, and water mixture and also put a No pest strip in my room. I am going to incorporate feeding the plants with Neem adding 4 ml per gallon of water to help with the root system and bugs in the soil.

Here are Pics of the before and after plant. Please let me know if you have any advice for what i can do to save this plant. Do you even think it can be saved? and if so what should i do?

The first pics is of the plant b4 the problem and then the additional pics are of the current condition of the plant. Will give +rep for solutions and advice. Thanks again

First step is the bugs. No sense worrying about nutes when it is so stressed. There are some insect control and treatment threads that would be more authoritative than I on exactly what to use, but I would be doing it TODAY.

Thanks for the quick reply. Ive already posted in a few different sections also. I have the solution to deal with the bugs i think, but I am worried about the plant not being able to recover from how droopy it is. I have never seen a plant so droopy recover before. Does anyone think it will recover and what are the causes for the droopiness? Overwatering? Bugs? Underwatering?

Anyone? Please.. can i get this plant to recover

The best advice I ever got was when a master grower told me that I could piss on my plant, have my cat piss on it, and cut off half the leaves and it would still survive. Deal with the bugs then the nutes and it will survive, just be set back a bit. And don't go hanging around the plant telegraphing "you're dying" to it. Think healthy thoughts!

Thanks illegal.. So should i cut off the brown leaves and just piss on the plant also? Im really wondering if anyone has specifically seen a plant survive from this kind of infestation and droopiness before
