I would have posted pics but it doesnt come out good enough to even tell what it looks like (its just that small, not camera quality issues).

Yeah these look like little eggs with spider webs or mold... there in soil and there from 1-2 months old (the plants), i figured it out when i was transplanting, the plants themselves are healthy looking no def.

What are the different possibilities it could be and how do i treat it?

Any help is appreciated, and ill show my app. by giving good rep.

Thanx ahead of time

yeah i have some in the fridge but dosnt spider mites lay there eggs on the leafs? these look alot bigger than the ones they lay on the leafs and they have a yellow tint to them.

Yeah i'm definitely putting those lady bugs to work as of now, is there anything else i can do for the least amount damage, and is there anything else it could be?

You should try Azamax. You can use it as a foliar spray, but you can also use it as a soil drench to prevent larva. I just started using in the soil, but it definitely works very well for eradicating mites as a foliar.

Why would you do this not knowing if it is even an egg? Need more info........

im using soil less mix sunshine #4 i think... the eggs (if they are eggs) are not on the leaves they are located in the roots... and with what looks like eggs looks to be like mold or spider web. i am for sure its not perilite... its definitelya foreign. I cant take pictures because the camera wont focus that small. This is the thing i know what spider mite eggs look like, these were much bigger (on a small scale), i dont even know if these are eggs, i transplanted about 60 today and i only saw them in two (i noticed the first one on about number 40, i wasnt even looking for it so i dont know exactly how many have them, i did check all of them from 40 all the way to #60)

If its not spider mite eggs then what could it possibly be?

the things that looked like eggs (little round balls) seemed to be white with a yellow tint... mind boggling

what kind of soil you use? it's prolly some sort of mineral or time release or something mine has lots of diff stuff it in to white dots dark oj ish balls
 
I agree with WVmade I have green balls, yellow, hell even some red ones, I have some potato bugs in my soil too and my babys would be letting me know if anythng is wrong lol, it might be the soil or might be eggs u have to get a microscope and look, if they are small enough to where u cant really see them with your eyes or focus on them then they might be eggs instead because i have no balls like that in my soil.

I transplanted some gorgeous GDP and white widow clones from the clinic the other day and this morning as i was spending some quality time with the girls i noticed that theres some white balls that look like spider mite eggs and are much bigger, about 10-15 times bigger. Actually big enough for me to visibly point them out, pick them up and pop them to see some goo ooze out...one bounced and rolled away..probably the size of a cooked rice grain but have a yellowish-whitish color (diff from the rice color).Its definitely not spider mite eggs for theyre resting on the soil and are too big to hang off the leaves (gravitys not on these guys side) and i noticed them on 40 % of my plants. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what they may be? Like someone mentioned its kind of hard to get them in zoom on camera so i hope u cd work with what ive got.
Cheers!
