So I realized I've had these for a while but I don't know what to do about them, how do I get rid of these? And what are they. Not sure if mites, aphids, or idk some sort of root bug. I'm sure their what's causing the yellowy leaves n such. I need to get rid of them before I flip to flower :( I've tried using dish soap and some water to try and spray these down to kill them but they haven't died they just keep coming back. At a loss for what to do.

Their the microscopic lil white things on the rim of the pot.

Start with the least invasive method and work your way up the cost intrusion scale
1 removing by hand and pruning damaged vegitation(burn it)
2 Wash whole plant and grow area with a light dawn solution
3 Neem oil
4 Chemical pesticides
 
You need some better pictures that are in focus and of the actual bug you're looking to identify. Not a single person could tell you what that is for certain without a better picture.

their like literally microscopic so i cant get the camera to focus any better then that. idk if their mites but Im thinking their coming from my soil
 
I recommend spraying them with spinosad if they are in veg. Do a soil drench also with spinosad. I would use something stronger in the grow area.
 
I don't grow in soil but I see things in my compost bin sometimes that are like what you're describing. I'm not saying this is the case here but not all bugs are bad, especially if you happen to be in soil

Looks like hypoaspis miles. Good bugs.
 
They look like soil mites and are pretty harmless to the plants but I don’t like any bugs in the grow that why I won’t bring soil into the house. Every bag I’ve ever bought has had bugs.
