Hello all, long time lurker/learner here with a pest problem. It started when because of nasty weather I moved my outdoor girl indoors into a room that I have putting together for strictly indoor growing. Within a week or 2 I had a bad aphid problem. I treated with garden safe and that seemed to take care of it. Well, now I’m not so sure. I’ve attached a few pics. What do you think? My main concern is that in a week or 2 this plant will be gone and I’m going to start from scratch. Do I have to worry about pests in the room? If so what can be done, it won’t be the easiest to sterilize. I’d like to start the new grow soon but not if I’m just goin to run into insect problems... thanks for any advice ECE843C0-8A30-48DB-9257-66B3A3C470C6.jpeg

Those are spider mites, the worst bug to have.
Definitely make sure the room is clean before restarting.

Bad spidermite and aphid from what i can see?
Blast them with neem oil or some other spidermite killer, after this crop is down CLEAN EVERYTHING, THE WHOLE ROON WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, EQUIPMENT ETC EVERYTHING MATE, Don't leave dead leaves lying around or anything, keep your room as clean as possible

Yeah, I’ve been reading up on it.. looks like a bleach/water wipe down and a couple p bombs.... at the least. I’ll probably bag the plant tomorrow and get it outta the house.. is any of the bud useable? I was thinking maybe a peroxide and water wash then dry and cure. Dam. This plant has been a major pain in my ass, now it’s gonna set back my 1st real grow attempt in years.

Mmm it's definitely spider mite, i have early case in 1 of my grows right now, i used dr schimmel spider mite terminator.
You can always tell if it's spider mite from the white marks on the top of leaves
