What Bug Is It?

Having a nightmare, I thought it was just a nutrient problem, them when I looked with my microscope I found these everywhere, they're all over my plants and I'm on week 5 of flowering. Don't know what to do, I've never had a problem like this before and the timing is just awful. Can anyone identify this bug, if I can identify it then I should be able to find the best possible treatment. At the moment I'm considering using bed bug spray which has as its main ingredient d-phenothrin, its supposedly organic and stops being toxic after a few days and hence should be safe, given the plants are budding heavily. At least the buds don't seem to be stunted, but the problem has gotten much worse over the last week.

Looks like a mite to me. Can't tell which though sorry, sure someone else will help you there.

Edit: I'm not sure there's a lot you can do 5 weeks into flower with a full on infestation. I'd likely steer clear of anything oil based this far into flower for starters.
Maybe something like spinosad?

Hard to say what to do with the product. If it was my personal, i'd probably wash it when it's finished, and make bubble hash from it. Might get something from it.
If it was for sale, that's honestly a difficult answer. It maybe better in this case to remove, destroy, then bomb the place with pesticide.

Sorry mate, shit news. Hope someone else has a better solution.

Best of luck.
