Dude, I was joking about the 'red arrow' mite.
Seriously though, I think you do have spider mite. If you look closely at the leaf in the bottom right of the pic, you'll see tiny little white speckles all over the leaf. IMO this is Spidermite. They are so tiny, they live on the underside of the leaf. I got rid of it completely in the past using 'Hot Shot' pest strips. Alternatively, try neem oil or Mighty wash.

BAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAH, soooo funny. Sorry to laugh but really???
ill look for mites, I have not seen any in my veg, will look extensively but could also be specs of dust I recently moved my veg to the new room (couple new dry wall holes) eitherway ill be throwing out the plants that are not superb and keeping only the best........neem oil since its natural can it cause root rot (i hear organics add more likelyhood of root rot in high temperatures, which sometimes occur in dwc during the hot summer...
dude I have never been into this part of forum specifically for this reason never took anything serious, I have no clue what some of the stuff is and I seek to find out, all I know is a few of the plants did bad (mainly shitty genetics) and I was freaking out, then to get high as fuck and return to see someone saying I have a infestation is scary, still not sure what it is and its still there, is it absolutely nothing?

I hear ya, but red arrow mites??? After you posted a pic with red arrows?
C'mon you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. I would laugh at myself if I fell for the red arrow mites bit.

I don't know.... That shit looks weird to me, like a orange mold. And you have spider mites.

Yeah, I thought the orange mold looked weird too. Ive not had the pleasure of having that little nasty .... yet.
I wonder what it could be .... hmmm I'll do some research.

You wont be using the neem oil in the DWC tank. You would apply the diluted Neem solution as a foliar spray, taking care to treat the underside of the leaves. Should be easy as you are still in veg.
Hot shot strips can just be left in the grow room for a couple of days. Again, easy as since in veg no residue can be left on bud.
Mighty wash is 99.999 water, it too can be used anytime in the grow cycle.

I just sprayed some stuff called serenade disease control on my plants for powdery mildew. My local nursery dude recommended it saying you can use it up to a day before harvest. I'll let you know how it works for my mold. I used this shit called forbid I got off eBay for my spider mites. It's illegal in Cali and works fucking great. Here's a link (you might be able to find it cheaper).... http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=261016173886&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=34517197103

I told you what it was ... Spidermite
You may be able to feel the eggs between your fingers. The speckles you see on the leaves are where they suck the sap from your plant. I would personally buy a 'HOT SHOT' strip because I tried it and it rid them permanently. Neem I used but you have to use 3 times over a week or so. Mighty wash is the safest, I bought a big bottle but because of the HOT SHOT Its sitting unused.

oh
lol ... neem oil then. You've got the double incentive of getting rid of them because you don't want them crawling over your face as you sleep.
edit: I would still get one and just use when youre not in the room. Seal them up in a plastic bag to use another time. Trust me, after using them myself they are just fine and not overly powerful.
