Hard to say. I agree a microscope will be needed to identify. If the mite is crawling around fast and doesn't get on upper leaves it most likely is Hypoaspis Miles. These are the good guys that eat things like Fungus Gnats, Spider Mites, ect. ect. After looking at your grow, I can tell you're most likely using dry amendments and doing a "Living Soil" style of growing. More than likely these are hypoaspis miles. Your plants look like they are in great health. How many do you see crawling around? I use a living soil method too and always have them pop up. TONS of them.

I don’t care what’s going on, I would use insect frass in my soil. It will keep bugs away starting from the roots up….. Neem on the plant is good…however …if eggs are in the soil, spraying the leaves isn’t going to do Jack. They also make Neem seed dry amendments which would do 2 things at once. Protect and Feed. Both of these products are made by Down to Earth

I'm going to try something here with an app I've got ... yeah... that didn't work... let me try something else... ok, I think what you've got are aphids... I'd break out the neem oil and get on them as soon as you can! If they are mites (and they certainly can be), you can use some diatomaceous earth to rid yourself of them... This link is a good one on spider mites in a grow room... https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/how-to-get-rid-of-spider-mites or this one for getting rid of aphids... https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/aphids You're going to have to figure out which you think you really have but you might just try BOTH methods without figuring it out because nothing you would be doing would hurt your grow... Whichever way you go, good luck! I think you've caught this in time and you'll conquer the little bastards!

Hard to see it, try getting a maco closeup of it. Kinda looks like a aphid, kinda looks like a mite. both of them things are typically on the plants though not off of them.
