Mighty wash. Non toxic, kills eggs too, and other bugs that might be on there. But I guarantee they won't only be on the mother for long, you'll want to spray everything and clean the room really good. Get mighty wash and put up this pic by the plants. That should do it.

i get these too, not many but some, apart from using an organic fert to get rid of them, i also would reccomened these sticky yellow strips you can buy from your local hydroponic store, they have a special chemical that attracts them i cut them up and put them around my grow room and rarely find any on my plants now! hope that helps

Go look up enstien oil on ebay and get a wetting agent as well. Best stuff I ever used on any plant. Today or while you wait get dish soap and water mix on the bottom on the leaves asap. You wont be let down by the other stuff once you get it

If it's a mother, wrap the pot up well in pastic bags and spray it off thoroughly under the shower (75 degree water).

mighty wash by npk industries, best mite killing product that's also non-toxic.I apply with a graco magnum airless paint sprayer. Takes a couple minutes to do my entire grow which isn't that big but with anything less it would take a lot longer to get the coverage I do.

its been said but MIGHTY WASH... MIGHTY WASH MIGHTY WASH MIGHTY WASH. This stuff is 98% water yes... but IT WORKS!!!! you have to be VERY thorough though. You can't half ass the spray down and then say "it doesnt work". GET UNDER ALL THE LEAVES (you miss just one mite and they can and will repopulate). i have used this on a few different rooms and recommended it to many friends not 1 has said anything but "holy crap, that stuff is awesome" I would also repeat this every 3-4 days at LEAST 2 times (do it 3 just to be safe).

I had a bad mite problem, started using mighty wash both to get rid of those and as a preventative spray and i have not seen a mite in 4 harvests!!! (however, its pretty easy to reintroduce them to your room if you are getting clones from someone else just FYI).

all organic is not realistic at this point I am afraid. Once your lights are off try bug be gone at 20mls per litre in pH balanced warm water. It is the least of the poisonous ones. General Hydros azimax will just create a superbug resistant to everything once used more than a few times. Bug be gone is a petroleum based product that will leave a coating on your leaves so it has to be washed off with another foliar spray. Spray as follows: day one bug be gone, day two bug be gone, day three spray with fulvic acid and pH balanced warm water at 5 mls per litre making sure to hit top and bottom of leaves to wash off pesticide. Repeat this process once more over next three days and that should take care of your problems. after this six days do preventative spraying once a week with pesticide followed by a wash the next day. Three things to remember; spray at least three to four hours BEFORE lights come on. Invest in a good sprayer with an adjustable fine mist nozzle. I recommend the Solo two litre bottle. Last but not least always try to spray the underside of the leaves where the bugs reside. It is not easy but do the best you can.

um right. OP mighty wash is your best and safest bet. just make sure you apply completely, I wasn't bullshitting around mentioning a paint sprayer.

Well, there is lady birds/bugs or some commercially available parasites, yellow card and vaseline, no-pest strips, Raising temps to over 100F for two hours, tobacco, chilli, pepper, garlic sprays, blocking intakes with filters, drench sprays with anionic detergents (washing up liquid aka wetting agent), adjusting temps and humidity to be less hospitable etc.
If you rely on chemical control, the problem may return. You need to find the root of the problem. In your case it is probably poor filtration on the inlet side or poor hygiene (nothing personal!)
