Little red bugs....

Ok so this is my third grow and i never had a problem with bugs/pests at all and now im finding little red bugs on top sides of leaves on only 1 of my 4 plants i cant tell if there mites or not and ive been searching through the forums for a bit now and cant find anything about them..... So far i have only spotted 3 of them on my white russian plant that i started from seed... They are fairly small red bugs that i found while looking the plants over today anybody have any idea what they are, how to get rid of them or anybody have any experience getting dealing with them? my grow is an indoor cfl setup inside a 3ft X 3ft box in my bedroom in the basement so im wondering how they could have got there and how to prevent them for my next grow. My box, pots and everything i use has been sterilized to the best of my ability so anybody with any advise to lend to a fairly new grower let me know... Thanks!

This should help.

It sounds like a mite infestation to me, here's a safe way to get rid of them,

oh dude i had this once yeah ganja's right the are mites i dont remember which species but its the only red mite

i didnt do ganja's fancy spider mite removal plan i just used a mix of 1/3 or 1/2 parts rubbing alcohol and 2/3 or 1/2 parts water (pH dialed down, of course) as a supplement to my girl (you can read bout it in my journal)

you can pour it down the medium or spray at infestation sites if on the leaves

on a side note, remember brick walls for schools and such? well, if you've ever stared at one like i have, you may have seen little red bugs crawling around them. here's the shyamalan twist - those are the same species of bug!!!! duh-duh-duhhhhh
so you may have just swiped one up by accident if you stood next to / leaned on a brick wall and didnt change your clothes before going around your babies one day

anyway hope you get rid of them!
