Sounds like Spider mites... Spray or dip with neem asap. If you had them with the others spray everything. And wash your clothes etc. Those fuckers spread like crazy. And respray every 5-7 days after that, in dark. Keep up on even if u think they r gone! They hide & lay eggs!

That's the organic way...Flouramite is the non orangic... Spidermite killer (that's powerful shit) But try the neem.

If they're black, it sounds more like fungus gnats than spidermites, which are red and very hard to see with the naked eye. You can try hanging a no-pest strip in your grow area if they fly. If they stay on the plants and in the soil, you may need something else, such as neem. You can also try putting a layer, about 1 inch thick, of sand on top of your soil.

Unless we see it ourselves could be anything...But black spec under side leaves. Sound like mites. If I where u I get a 30X microscope from local grow store & look at them close, so u know what u r dealing with for sure. Then u go from there. Goodluck bro.
