if you do have a bug problem you could sprinkle 7 dust on your plants to help get rid of them. Ive used it on my outdoors plants and it worked real well. hope this helps

Ok so I just discovered THE BEST bug problem solver ever, and i've never heard anybody else mention it. WITCH HAZEL. Set a small bowl or container out and fill it about half way with witch hazel, available at any grocery/drug/whatever store in the first aid section. It attracts the bugs into it and they drown. It works amazing with fungus gnats, spider mites, aphids, anything that ive encounted thus far. try it!

It sounds like your talking about Aphids...I am having the same problem. I just ordered FoxFarm Bug be Gone...It was recommended by someone out here...I haven't gotten it yet, it should be here anyday....I will let you know if it works.

are they doing any damage to your plants if you have little white or yellow dots showing on the tops of the leaves then its mite if they leave silver patches on top of leaves and black stuff underside then they are thrips ive had a few this year got rid using garlic crushed and left to soak in the spray bottle a few days seemed to do the trick.

I'm not sure how easy it is to get near your plants in your grow room, if you look under your foilage up at the light youll see lots of mites if it is mites aphids are easy to spot there huge compared to mites, and webbing is a really bad infestion if it's not from a house spider.I hate mites so much this thread is giving me willies. if its aphids,or white flies put out so maple syrup on a plate and they'll get stuck. if it's mites it's your call, I call it a loss I can't stand the though of smoke n hundreds of them every time I blaze.hope it a house spider:-|

those are SPIDER MITES dude. i had them a couple months ago too! they leave a small webbing on their stuff. it is a spider mite, they are a PAIN IN THE ASS to get rid of.
ok, try either leaving out a bowl of witch hazel, or, soak a cigar/cigarette in a bottle of water over night. filter out the tobacco through a coffee filter, you should be left with some brown stinky water, you can spray your plants with this. it will kill the spider mites and keep future ones away. I tried this AFTER trying the garlic suggestion that Undo had told you about . it didnt quite work for me. I've also used a product in the past by this company and it worked REALLY well
