I guess this is a spider mite--it just seems kind of big from what Ive read

If you aren't already, I'd begin using neem oil. Even if these bugs aren't spider mites, it is clear that bugs have somehow found a way into your setup...if these guys can get in, then who knows what else may be lurking around!

neem oil is great but be careful how much often you apply. weeks and weeks of neem oil build up can clog your leaves pores and cause a problem too. i say get your hands on some dietemacius earth and sprinkle a fine layer of that inside your box/tent room whatever. it basically leaves micro cuts on the mites as they crawl over it and their low level of body luids then drain ou these micro cuts and the mites die. had a spidermite infestation of my room took some floramite to kill the bastards and then sprinkled DE all over and never had a problem again. and you cant hurt your plants with it i sprinkle it right on the plants if you are worried about it. mix it in with your compost piles it does the same to larvae n other fun stuff. maybe this doesnt work for everyone im just sharing my experiences even tho i may not be the most seasoned grower.

No plans for neem oil at this point--For two reasons.

First--I have no reason to believe they are a threat to my plants in any shape, way, or form (and believe me...Im watching carefully). Therefore I'd rather not use anything if I don't have to.

Second--One week from this Wednesday coming Im due to harvest. So even if they were a threat (which Im pretty sure they are not), they won't have time to do any real damage to my girls.

But thanks to all who have contributed to this thread.
