It sounds like you are describing spider mites. Do a search online and you can see a close-up of one to identify it.

you have been infested with root aphids sorry to say you only wish you were infested with spidermites compared to these little bastards. I had a issue with these bastards and they about wiped me out. I had to use a multiple stage method to get rid of these. First step use natural preditores such as ladybugs or nemotoads i used nemotoads for two weeks did one hell of a job but didn't get them all. Step 2 Azamax in you nutrient and foliar for 2 wks anything in flower after 4th week forget it any poisons i don't recommend i would stick with nemotoads with them in isolation if possable. Step 3 do step 2 again after one week off. You will need to stay on top of these bastards and if you are using hydroton throw it away and start with new on your next grow.Azamax is OMRI listed and can be used up to 4th week of flower. Hope this helps.

do root aphids turn in to flys i not got no flys at all and if it is root aphids can i ues neem oil wot do neem oil kill and if its root aphids y are they on my plans and nice one 4 your help SouthSideNuggs :)
 
neem oil will also work. It is one of the ingrediants in azamax. some of the aphids can develope wings it is a survival thing. They use the roots to feed while they are young then they mature and travel around and attack upper vegitation and then burrow in the medium during light periods. I lost about a little over half of my girls because i got 4 infected clones and didnt catch it until my 4th week of veg. These things are vampires they suck the life out of your plants and your patience.
 
i used gognat and it only made these bastards do more damage it was like gojuice for them. it took me about 6wks of hand to bugs combat to get rid of them. Fortunatley I havn't had any sight of them for about 12wks now. But i also dont take clones from anyone now just do it the old fashion way if i want a new strain i find seeds.

nice one m8 il get sume neem oil and Liquid Castile Soap will that be ok i dont fink its that bad yet well i hop lol :):)
 
mite rid is also a great product if i am correct it is a concentrated for of azidactrine which comes from the neem tree. But with all bugs they do grow a tolerance to poisons so you really have to mix the treatments up to keep them down.
