Today I found that one of my leaves was just covered with VERY small, longish 'mite' sort of creatures. They were a white to slightly yellow color and could sort of 'jump' like a flea but not as high. The leaf that they were on was covered in small black and white dots, kinda like salt and pepper.

Please help, this is freaking me out

You got aphids or spyder mites. Looks like you need to go to Dro shop and pick up some Organicide. Or a cheaper way to go about it dish soap and water.

dude are you using a soil mix? I just had a similar problem cos I used a bag of compost from last time round. Some little fucker had laid its spawn in there and when i checked why my seeds weren't popping up as usual i had tiny-ass little clear-white maggot things eating the hell out of the fresh root.

Only saved one seedling and thats in the same soil so am counting the days... too small to transplant, just putting out its 3 leafers.

Just goes to show- use fresh shit every time and be careful when using a soil mix... Lesson learned :(

Hello,
Spider mites live on the underside of the leaf and eat tiny holes in the leaves. The holes look like white dots. Kill them with Avid. Avid is toxic and you DO NOT want to smoke it. You can NOT use Avid on budding plants.

Gnats live in the soil and eat the roots. They look like little tiny white jumping/flying suckers. Kill them with Gnatrol.

Hope this helps-Garden Goddess

if you have bugs in your buds your screwed! kill all mature plants keep small ones they are easier to clean.carefully rub all eggs and live mites off plants take your fingers and pinch all around stem to kill eggs and mites.use a strong magnifying glass to make sure you have cleaned them compleatly! tahe your plants and submerge the whole thing about 1/4" of cube into solution. I used azatrol a little costly but it kills those fuckers. claen every thing!!! all cracks every were all walls all equipment. it is hard but worth it.
