Im over run with them little bastards and also spidermites to beat hell!! Lost shit load of leaves and soapy water didnt do shit for me, I got some stuff called ecoseense brand insecticidal soap and that zapped the shit out of them !! Just remember to wash off very well when done leting it set.

So what are they?
Last night i noticed 1 on a plant
same decription as you===tiny as hell white dot...upon inspection with microscope i dont see any legs just a white bug of some sort...almost looks like a worm maybe? After checking all the other plants i only found 2 more...i didnt notice them flying i just killed the few i found instantly

i bought some dont bug me spray but have never used it as of yet...curious wtf these are and if the dont bug me spray will help

plants all seem fine but id like to take care of this issue asap if its even an issue

thanks in advance

Wow this is crazy, i am going through the same shit right now. I also used Don't Bug on the 4th and as of yesterday I didn't see anymore. This is bullshit, I went all out on my second grow with AN line, GreenHouse Seeds, Home Lab, and now I got to deal with these little fucks. I will go buy some lady bugs too since I am in week one of flowering. Even though these things suck the the plant juices, I have never heard of anyone losing a harvest or a plant to Thrips. Anyone? I just hate the little scrapes they make on my otherwise perfect leaves!

Don't be fooled they can destroy ur garden however I've found them to be easily maintained after the lady bugs and neem oil there will be a few residuals but they are dealt with by the gods thumb technique.. If u see them smash them.. And be careful they JUMP for their size and are kinda fast u will usually find them at the top hiddin in new growth I always hit the top with neem right after a fim to ensure success... However don't be TOO liberal with the neem u don't wanna clog the stomata' good luck with ur battle if u find something that works please share here and I will do the same let's get these fuggers out (I heard predatory mites work however idk how many of them favor thrips but thrips seem to reproduce slower so I think predators may quickly overtake just a thought also lowering ur room temp will help slow their reproduction as well) lol sorry about the rant hope somethin in it helps

If you really wont to get rid of them and not picky, just wont them out. Hang a pest strip in the room and you will be rid of them. If you are picky use neem oil and spray more nore than one as a deturent.

DUDE AT THE HYDRO STORE WHO HAS THUS FAR POINTED ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SAID THE DONT BUG ME SPRAY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROB AND THAT A 2ND SRAY AFTER A COUPLE-FEW DAYS WOULDNT HURT BUT MORE THEN LIKELY WASNT NEEDED AT ALL..... WHEN I ASKED IF I SHOULD GET THE NEEM OIL AS WELL HE SAID NAH THE SPRAY WILL DO THE TRICK TRUST ME I PERSONALLY USE IT AND HAVNT HAD TO USE NEEM OIL OR ANY OTHER BUG SPRAY FOR THAT MATTER EVER SINCE...HE SAID YOU CAN USE THAT SPRAY AROUND THE HOUSE AS WELL FOR REG OL SPIDERS AND ANTS

I STILL BOUGHT A TINY BOTTLE OF THE NEEM OIL JUST IN CASE:fire:LIL FUCKERS AINT GONNA GET THE BEST OF ME THATS FOR DAM SURE:finger::bigjoint::leaf:
