I have bugs. What do I do

This is my first indoor hydro grow and I'm in my first week of flowering
and I've just noticed little green bugs that look like spiders. How bad is this? And what do I do?
 
If they are spider mites then you need to eradicate them immediately! Use a product called Forbid and it will wipe them out completely. Neem oil, Pyrethrium, Predator Mites are somewhat effective if used properly but Forbid will kill them and their eggs by just drenching the plants with a sprayer. it is kind of expensive but well worth it because spider mites WILL RUIN YOUR BUDS! Here is a link: http://www.rosemania.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/product147.html or this seller has smaller portions on ebay here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260542006889&rvr_id=&crlp=1_263602_263622&UA=WXI7&GUID=f0ccb4861270a0e20280b9e0fe4b495e&itemid=260542006889&ff4=263602_263622

Green bugs sound like thrips. Do they fly?? Thripes suck but are not to bad, Best thing to do is for thrips go get a few of those yellow sticky things that hand down from the celiling and hang them around the plants that shit will kiell them also wrap one around the pot of the plant. Get it under control thought or they will suck the green out your plants then they will not be able to follect lgith and ur lovely ladies will die. Are you starting to see little dots on the leaves where it looks like the green is getting cuked out?
 
I'm not growing in soil. I'm growing in a tote that sprays the roots. I'm not seeing any spots on the leaves, just some leaves have brown edges. You think I can hang one of those strips off my light(400w hps) down the inbetween my plants? Like I said this is my first grow. What is the purpose of running co2?

go to your hydro store and tell them the prob they have all kinds of good sprays to kill them

Put a small bowl of moutain dew or kool aid on the floor of your grow room it may sound dumb but it works. Bugs love sweet things I get all kinda of little bugs in the bowl, they drown them selves in the liquid
