Please Help : New infestation one week before harvest

I Really hope you can help me here. My plant is about one or two weeks away from harvest time, and today when I checked on the plant I noticed that there were small black specks under a few of the leaves and even on some buds. I think they may be aphids or PLANT LICE....but im not sure. I have posted two pictures here one of a leaf and one with magnification.

My plant is an outdoor and I have been taking care of it for 6 months so I dont want to lose the plant to bugs.

Basically, I ask all you who may be able to help, and advise me how to deal with the infestation. Should I spray the plant (and with what), or how should I get rid of these....and what the hell are they?IMG-20120415-00014.jpgPicture057.jpg:-(

You have spidermites and its too late to spray the buds now, after harvest spray area with miticide and vacuum for a week.
 
When you say spray area...do you mean where I dry the plants? As im growing outdoors...what do you mean by vacum? around the buds? Thanks for the advise.

are the plants big? can you just go smash them all? if not..
go buy "azamax" right now...also grab a gallon pump sprayer.....

read the back of the bottle.... spray lightly!....focus on leaves not buds..

if you have a leaf blower dry them off few hours after...

good luck

Those are aphids, not spider mites. They will kill your plant pretty fast too, just suck all the life out of it. You can use azamax or an organic pesticide. That is what I used during flower and before harvest...it is safe enough to put on food plants, so now problem with yours. Good luck.

Aphids, and plenty of sprays you can use up to harvest, as said above.

Spider mites are way smaller and look different. Aphids aremeasymtomget rid of, spider mites, not so much
