I have yellow eggs everywhere. Ive tried need oil and ive tried flea and coachroach bombs. Even tried white oil (burnt the plants).
Something keeps laying them but i cant see it.

i know its not spider mites : had them, they lay webs everywhere when you foliar spray, plant looks like a christmas tree
i know its not white fly : had them, they swarm around like mad and are really hard to miss

so what is it and what do i do about it?

Edit : whats with the image uploader, is it me or is it broken?

I have seen beetle species leave large amounts of eggs such as that, but not on MJ. And if it were beetles you would certainly seen at least a few adults. I think you will need to capture an adult to figure this one out...

Thrips...bugs...use a scope /magnifying glass too see em...also look under leaves for black spots ie poop

Never seen thrips leave that many eggs on the tops of leaves...plus the leaves would be showing physical damage at the edges from the adults feeding......

I'm no expert but from what I've read, ladybugs are completely pointless if you're in flowering which he is. Also, it's definitely not thrips I can tell you that. You could possible dunk the whole foliage upside down in a bucket of water with washing up liquid and neem oil - careful the plant doesn't come out the soil though. To do this, tie a carrier bag around the pot, leaving the foliage bare, dunk in the solution, leave a few hours and then dunk in plain water to rinse it. I would also consider doing a soil drench. If you can't be bothered to do all this I would definitely consider scrapping them.

I thought they didn't work on a 12/12 cycle, they're usually only recommended for vegging, but perhaps I'm wrong?

You think them ladybugs count hours to see if they need to eat? Mine are all over my plants as long as the lights are on....I dont think I have any bugs so I dont know what they are eating, but it is good ins. IMO. I was trying to gove away free ladybugs, but all the little dweebs on rollitup think I am a narc so I quit offering them. 2 lucky people got free lady bugs though for free. Cheap insurance

Ive never seen any bugs, and I cant imagine a tiny bug that cant be seen without a microscope laying eggs that big.
They (the eggs) are on the bottom as well as the top.
There are 12 plants in that cab, 2 big fans inside as well as a 10 inch extractor fan.
Tried neem oil already.
Really dont want to pull them all out and start again, really dont want to smoke those eggs either.
Hate to think how many bugs I will have if they all hatch either.
not sure how to get ladybugs in Australia, may have to look closer at that one. I keep daddy long legs spiders all around to keep the spider mites well away.

Any other suggestions?

can you spray them off with water, maybe some kind of squirt bottle and wipe the leaves gently..
I would think your local nursery/horticulturalist can supply you with lady bugs if need be,
