ok ..what is this..bug.

ok.. im not to sure.. and i tried lookin for pics of bugs and insects that liike mj.. and really couldnt find what i was lookin for .. i opened my door yesterday and was spraying my babies.. and i looked closer and i saw this tiny tiny white insect on my leaf.. so i proceded to let it meet its maker...saying a few choice words.. and after comforting my baby thats its going to be alright.....i havn't seen anymore of them .. just that once.. so i want to get rid of the problem before i have an infestation in my plant..

It could be anything. A picture would help but you done the right thing.

I've been lookin .. everyday.. and keeping a close eye on it.. like almost OCD.. lol and i haven't seen any other signs of them.. i tried to take a pic of the bug.. but my camera sucks.. and i didnt want to chance moving the plant and have it take off.. i ultimately just wanted it dead.. so first thing that came to mind was WTF.. your gonna die HONKYYYYY.... lol no but for real ... it was VERY very small like a gnat almost but pure white.. and two little black beaty eyes.. YEACKkk little SOB's just another plan for the insect world to keep another white man away from his treat.. lol ok guys.. and gals.. thanks for at least lookin and taking the time to help ...

Was it a white fly? Do you have a pic?

ok .. i sturred up the top half inch or inch of soil.. and i still havn 't found anything else.. maybe a freak exploring bug.. i dunno.. is there a neutral anything that i can get for my plant for general insects.. or am i pretty much screwed.. until i know exactly what it is

no pic raider.. my camera sucks.. i've neever heard of a white fly.. and if it was... is it harmful.. it was very small almost missed it on my plant.. good thing im OCD. lol

Are you sure it was a fly? Springtails can live in the soil and are beneficial.

edit: Also, do you have any fruit flies in the house at the moment? You might have just spotted a rare mutation.

hmmm never heard of that .. but again .. not surprised about that...ill look into that ..

ok just looked into that springtail insect... and from what i can tell or saw of the bug.. it didnt look too much like that .. but again, when i saw it.. i just lol freaked out and thought DESTROY BUG>.. like a friggin caveman.. and didnt really watch it too much .. to see what it actaully was doing.. but heh.. if it is.. i guess as long as there isn't an overabundance on moisture.. then there shouldnt be an outbreak.. right.. lol... not sure because my temps are controlled at 76-79 lights on... and 69-72 lights out.. and the humidity is pretty low.. normally around 35-45%

if you dont see anymore you should be fine... you can use neem oil until you are into flowering as a preventative measure, just make sure you dont get a whole lot on your buds if you are spraying during flowering as neem takes a couple weeks to a month to dissipate and can affect the taste of your buds. you should get a jewelers loupe or a microscope and look closer. check the entire plant the soil and especially the underside of the leaves.... some bugs such as spider mites can be very hard to spot until you have an infestation so make sure you check the entire plant over the course of the next couple weeks.. also you can put a piece of paper under your foliage and shake the branches to see if anything falls off of them... look hard they can be TINY
