Last week I noticed some plants with extremely small bugs on them. All I could make out was a white dot moving around on top of a leaf. I am very familiar with spider mites. These are about 1/4 of the size or even smaller. I have a cheapo digital microscope and can't really identify them. I can't find any eggs, and I've only found about 10 or so of these mites on 3 or for leaves on a table with 25 8-10" clones. So they don't seem to be behaving super invasive at this point. I took some knock down home and garden insecticide and gave it a quick spray to see what would happen. But at this point, I really need to identify these before I go any further. I'm not looking for criticism on pesticides, so if that's all you got, save it.
I'm pretty sure they are broad mites, BUT the only thing that is making me question it, they have some long hairs on there back, the pictures are a little rough but you can kind of see it. The there is also a photo of what looks like thrip feces, but there are have been absolutely no signs of thrips.
What do you guys think?
