Ok sounds good I kinda wonder by reading Grizzleys guides to pest if they are thrips or spider mites is what im concluding . From what I read they said to blast some water on the underneath of the leaves to loosen up the colonies and then try neem oil? Could I be right on my detecting my plant problem and why are they just on a few leaves?

I went and got some of that plant soap that are good for all mites for the gardens even good for vegtable gardens all the way up to harvest even edible gardens sprayed the whole plant down even the under side I wonder if that will work and how many times i will have to repeat the process

They're on a few leaves now but they will spread. If they are bugs, you found them early so you are in good shape still. BTW, if they are spider mites, the eggs and black spots should be visible on the underside.

That's the first thing that I used for thrips. It seemed to work but my plants were much larger and deep into flowering. I didn't take the problem seriously enough and they returned.
It should do the job for you since you caught them early. Be sure to follow directions about spraying a second or third time to break the egg laying cycle.
Thrips, especially, become immune to products quickly and they are always present in my area. I don't use anything more than 3 times. Always rotate at least 2 products.
As a preventative, neem oil can be effective for many pests and has a low impact on your plants. :peace:
 
Thrips.... I had a major infestation a while back. They will destroy your leaves very quickly if you do not get them under control. Find a hydro store around you or order Azamax off of the interwebz. Stuff is amazing.... I was over ran with those tiny bastards and after 2 sprayings... they all just sat on the top of the leaves and died in the light. Azamax is somewhat pricey.... but its WELL worth it.
