I would toss that away, if it's a flowering plant at least. If it's a vegging plants I would make some insecticidal solution/spray with vegetable oil, dish soap, alcohol and maybe a few drops of lemon or orange oil.

That plant is almost done. I removed it from my room sprayed it with green cleaner which claims i can use until harvest. Probably just gonna cut it down and do a bud wash on it.
The plant next to it is about ready to harvest so I might just cut it, wash it and hang it too. There are 2 more that are in mid flower and then some I just moved in over the last couple days I'm going to hit them with green cleaner tonight. I haven't really seen any signs on other plants but I'm sure they're there.

Might try baking soda mix but those don’t look good at all. First thing you wanna do is blast them with water from spray bottle this dislodges the eggs then follow up when lights are of with a dish soap mix with water but you have to be persistent if you wanna keep them in your garden.

The weird thing is I don't see them on any other plants. I just went nuts with green cleaner on my room. Gonna hit it again in a couple days.

That's an insane amount of bugs on one leaf.

Seriously! I installed a mini split recently and thought it was debris or sawdust from that. Then I realized it was super sticky and wet looking which I'm guessing was juices from the leaves. The plant has some crazy tangie smell to it so when I smelled it the smell threw me off. None of the bugs were really moving so it took me a minute to even realize that they were bugs. I was away all weekend and didn't notice them before today at all. Also don't see them on any other plants.

Im assuming the white in the pics is the molt they just popped out of,your other plants have the small nymph and eggs you just cant see them yet.

I'm going to treat it like everything in the room is infected. A buddy of mine dealt with spider mites for years and I really hope my battle with them doesn't end up being as intense as his was.

Its strange, I only see evidence of them on the one stalk and mostly in one area of it.

Check the legs.
Aphids have bent legs Mites have straight legs

That was my initial thought but everyone seemed to run with spider mites so I just assumed people knew better than I did. That would also explain the large number of them appearing so quickly

Yea... People always jump to spider mites ...
I'm 99.999% pos they are aphids. Spray neem directly on them and dust them with diatomaceous earth when it's dry.
Re apply after a couple days for 10 to 14 days
