WTF kind of bugs are these???

First off I want to apologize for the shitty quality of pictures. I only have a broken cell phone camera, but it should give you an idea of just how small these critters are.





Anyone know WTF these could be?? They do Not fly, they have legs, and they are no bigger then 1/16" They are tiny and dark in colour.

Im pretty damn sure they are Not spider mites, but i could be wrong?


I havent been able to find any info on them so far, or even what they are.

I have laid out no-pest strips under the plants to catch them, and I have been spraying with Neem-oil once a week, they have been sprayed twice so far.

If anyone has any idea what they could be, or if you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

+rep for any helpful info!!


Thanks

Man, I just can't tell anything from the pics. Have you seen this faq with pictures:

Yep, I have seen all the FAQs and pest problem guides. Not one of them appear to be them.


The bugs are fucking Tiny, you wouldnt even know they were alive if you didnt stare at them for a second and see them moving.

Again I apologize for the Shitty pics. Beside the tip of the pen is one of the little critters, they are very small. Too small for my shitty camera to even get a picture of it.

Im just wondering if anyone knows of any pests like this? Very Very small, but visible to the naked eye if you look closely you can see little legs.

Again, +rep for anyone who has any helpful info!!!


Thanks

Are you finding them on your plants? Just around the area? Do they fly?

I first noticed one on top of a leaf of a plant, they are very small so I almost didnt notice it.

After I found a couple I got a bunch of No-pest strips so see just how many there are. I hung one from the roof, and layed the rest out on the pots.

They do Not fly. And I don't think they are living in the soil.

Since I put in the sticky no-pest strips I have noticed there are a lot of them, only on the tops of the no-pest strips though.

A while back I had a stool sitting on my balcony for a while, I took it in and its sitting in my tent with a fan on it.


It might be possible something got in on the stool? If so are they gonna affect my plants?

Any ideas what kind of bugs it could be that are so damn small?


Thanks

I hate to say it man, but did you look at the spider mite pics?

No, but some bugs I had once were. They walked across the white Panda film floor of my grow in tiny rows like ants and they were to small to see individually. Looked a little like some real fine metal filings the way they made a row.

Never saw them on my plant and I had a great harvest. Never figured that one out.

They are so small you wouldnt even be able to tell. I would need to get like 20 and crush them.


Im thinking it might be thrips? They are longer then they are wide, and looks like they have a couple little antennae.

Are there any species of thrips that are that small?


Thanks again

Well whatever the critters are I think I caught them early, so Im gonna just keep at it with the Neem oil and sticky cards, then fry anything in the room after the crop.

Thanks for the input guys.
