Great pic of the common pest... Spider Mite. 100% ID on that one. I just read a study and the rosemary & clove is very effective. Many essential oil sprays will conatin and its the safest stuff to use. Try checking out:

Ed's Zero Tolerance; SNS 217; Liquid Lady Bug; and anything with clove, rosemary

Also, Neem works well but I woudn't spray on flowers. It's safe, nontoxic, but the oil may leave a nasty taste.

There are also other products with toxic chemicals but the study I just read suggested the rosemary and clove suppressed as good as anything.
 
You need to use neem oil until they are all gone. To get rid of them and to prevent there return I suggest this. Spray neem as a preventive on a weekly basis up until flowers start then you can stop unless they come back. Its better to use neem in flower than let the mites take over because then they multiply in your grow area if left to themselves. Also keep air temps below 80 and keep good airflow that helps. You could also use other organic remedies such as hot pepper spray. Works well, kills mites and you if your not careful.

I use Avid or forbid as the primary treatment. teat 3x over a 20 day period and only if there not flowering. After that I use Azamax as a preventative measure . Be very careful mixing these up, Where gloves and safety glasses. use the smallest dosages(0.6 tbs per G)

Cheaper to use neem than azamax for foliar. But when using neem be sure to add to warm (80-100F) water and use a non-ionic surfactant. Dawn dish soap works.

Here's a tip: Mix 1/2 oz/gal Karanja oil and 1/2 oz/gal neem for a synergistic effect(foliar spray).

Your neem should also be cold pressed and not chemically extracted...... just sayin...

Last time I had mites was 8 months ago. I sprayed Floramite onto my vegging ladies, and have applied Diatomaceous Earth since. No more mites!
