yellow spots, little black bugs

ok, so i did some looking around, and really couldn't find an answer. i did find one pic of someone showing some bugs that look just like the ones i have, but there wasn't any replies or answers. so please help me guys. my plant is so sick looking and will die if i can't get answers.



the first two pics show the discoloration, the third shows some webs, and the forth shows the bug.

there are no holes in the leaves. at first i was thinking spider mites cuz of the webs, but the bugs are black not red, and there aren't any holes.

sorry that the pics aren't such good quality, its the best i can do with the camera i have.

i have the same thing on a couple of my plants... i would like to know what they are as well

i have a hydro setup using rockwool and a 175 w mh light

so then they are spider mites? just black instead of red ones.?

they seem to be attacking my 2 querkel plants, all the rest of them seem to be just fine.

i heard a 70% neem oil mixture with warm water+ dish soap should do the trick.

your welcome, thanks for the help

oh, where can i get neem oil, besides online, what stores carry it? and approx. price? and is there anything else besides neem oil that would work?

so since i know that they are spider mites, i've been doing some research and found that a 1:1 solution of water and rubbing alcohol do a good job of getting rid of spider mites and causes no harm to the plants. has anyone tried this? is it effective?

i just went to my hydro store and picked up some stuff called 'judo'

the guy who works there highly suggested it for spider mites/white flies and said it would last me for a couple grows

seems legit

You infestation is too advanced for neem oil or any of this other crap people are recommending. No offense but spider mites are strong as hell check out my thread on spider mite control.

How do you apply the solution. What exactly is neem oil and where would i find it. I just found little brown spots and a black bug on the bottom of a leave. Sounds like the same but i dont know how to apply the solution. Do you spray it on put it is the nutes? i would assume if you use dish soap that you would not put that in your water for feeding.
