Not very many signs of bugs, too many white dots. Whats going on?!?

Hey all, I'm new on here and to cultivating my own meds, but I was wondering if you all could assist me. I'm experiencing white dots on my leaves which led me to believe I had some bastard bugs, but after closer inspection only a few were found. I rubbed down each leaf and I now wash my hands and mind my cleanliness much more. However, I also introduced an army of ladybugs just to be sure, and the things are just chillin in the corner so no help there. Next step might be neem oil for some plant defense, I just really want to make these babies happy!

Also, Hows the plants looking? This is Burmese Kush cloned off a BIGGG momma
Thanks all

Spidermites.
Look under the leaves

If ya seen a few bug... then there are probably a few hundred.... Imo lady bugs wont help.. they are good in prevention.. but once mites are already established.. you need to take other measures.. then use lady bugs later to prevent.. but of course this is all just my opinion and experiences .

Believe it or not they actually hunt and neutrilize the mites

wow you guys are fast! theres some pics

Also, Looked under the leaves, honestly saw like a total of 10 little fuck3rs and killed em all. neem oil appropriate? And anyone know how to apply it? I assume just rub on lightly

you need to mix it with water.. depends on brand .. normally says how to dilute it .. I do one tablespoon to a gallon of water.. then add a couple drops of dish soap ( wetting agent) ... spray the entire plant .. focusing under the leaves... repeat every 1-2 weeks.. if this doesnt stop it .. you will have to get more agressive ... You just have to be consistent .. because if you skip a spray .. the eggs you missed or didnt kill will hatch and reinfect.. you have to break their breeding cycle .. in warm conditions.. the mites can reproduce every few days... so ... stay ontop of it. Good luck.. if that doesnt work and your in veg.. I have a plan B mite nuke I can tell ya about.. only can be used in veg though.

Ps.. you pics didnt show up

that work?

definitely spider mites. those little bastards are hard to see. check the under side of your leafs with a magnifying glass.

Wow thats pretty bad bro.. If your only a little ways in .. I would just scrap the plants.. clean the grow room.. do some foggers/ no pest strips for a couple weeks.. get that room clear of them for the most part.. then start over with some new clones.. treat em with neem before introducing them just to help prevent any scragglers that got by .. Keep using the no pest strip ever other week for a solid month or so .. then once you know there is NOTHING left.. you can flower or do what you want... I dont use pesticides once I am flower so I make sure EVERYTHING is dead before they go into flower.. once buds are forming .. ur options are very limited on killing em.. unless you want toxic buds..

honestly those bugs were just shitting on my leaves a bunch there weren't too many., all is Muuuch much better now. Neem'd those assholes. Thank you for all your assistance my friends, big ups.

I ended up going to starbucks, and they give you nitro rich ph free coffee grounds for free by the lb... Yes please, it's rough composition on top of the soil kills bugs quick. (And natural!) That paired with neem oil did the trick!

NICE glad to hear !

Definitely spider mites, glad you got rid of them....

I currently have the same problem, except my plants are between 8-9 weeks into flower, about to be harvested and mites took over my flower tent....dunno what to do cuz im at the end
