What are they. They are a couple milimiters tops and can crawl fast enough to see them move with ur naked eye. Neem doesnt kill them. Will soap water spray help?

I had them once, I think they're a predator mite that eats spider mites.
If you have them you may also have spider mites and just have gotten lucky with also having the things that eat them up.
maybe not, Google predatory mites and look at the pics.
If that's what they are personally I would leave them, if the spider mites die out, they probably will starve.

If you haven't started flowering, inspect really well for spider mites, you wanna get rid of them before you flower, if you even can. They're a god damned nightmare IMO. The only thing that completely got rid of them for me was creating a new grow place.

If you wanna kill mites and you haven't started flowering, take the plants outside when it's safe to do so and spray them firmly, but carefully, with a hose above and under the leaves, enough so you're not damaging the plant. Just don't break the stems, hold the plant properly, sideways or upsidedown if possible to get under the leaves. Allowing the plant to sit on the ground sideways works well. If you are flowering, this process will make a lot of your crystals dissapear so you may want to just try to manage them until flowering is done. When you're done washing them it might also be helpful to wash the soil out and soak the whole plant in a bucket under water to help drown the bitches for a few mins, then repot. Also Diatomaceous earth works well. If you haven't started flowering and want to kill them, after you wash the plants let them dry and blow that shit on the plant and grow room. Clean the grow room before you do this even, as much as you can. If you have started flowering.. I don't know. When I had those problems in my old grow room it just about killed my crop.

The first port of call is to identify them.

Could be predatory mites.

Could be velvet mites.


Try to look through some mite species local to your area online.
