can you tell..

1st pic; some tiny little spider fuck. mite maybe?
he/she was all alone and way far away from the plants.
(caught on a piece of duck tape)
plus, its the only one ive seen in grow room

2nd pic; a flying thing thats bigger than a gnat. it flies around entire room without landing. as opposed to the gnats that fly half ass
(also caught with tape)

there are springtails and fungus gnats(?)in grow room as of now, which, from my readings don't seem harmful.

any clue to these little buggers?
(best pics i could get through a cheap microscope.)

edit: maybe fungus gnats arn't so good.

Better get moving on ridding yourself of those little fuckers. For every one you see there will be 500 you don't see. They reproduce faster than rabbits at a swingers club. If they laid any eggs, they will hatch in 7 days. Then they will be adults and able to reproduce in another 7 to 10 days.

oh shit, spider mites

I have had to deal with spider mites that somehow got into my 8 x 12 sealed flower room recently. Unless you totally rip everything out and sterilize your room you will never get rid of them, just get them under control. Pyrethrum sprays or foggers work for me. But if you spray, you will need to spray both the bottoms and top of your plants leaves. Just google spider mites and hit on a few sites that explain how to try and get rid of these little bastards..

Good Luck

my rooms not even half your size (2'x4')
but i guess if the spider mites are there... there their regardless of room size.
prolly go with a fogger.

back to you explaing the spider mite numbers, it's a step by sep deal? like i said i've only seen one spider mite, no webs or eggs. guess those are soon to follow.
again, thanks for the help.

If you got a spider mite then its a sure bet your gonna have eggs if you look close enough

image search on google gave me this for predatory mites, could it be? pushin' my luck maybe.


edit; well it didn't give me a red X, but rather this
(i squashed it and blood squirted out, like it was eating other bugs?)
