I'm sorry to inform you, but it's best that you slay that plant, kill the bug and do a thorough inspection to prevent further contamination. That's a Waldensian Gal Mite for sure. These small bugs can even take down trees. Where do you live? It would also be a good idea to have your house sprayed by an expert, inside and out.

(2nd post due to puter limitations)
if dealing w/ 1 or few plants bugs arent necessarilly (sp?) as devistating. besides there are many products available to deal w/ pests.
if there is a big contamination in a big grow there are still options shy of destroying the entire plant. can seperate infected ones, treat them, bleach clean the room they were in, & keep a close eye on any deamed "clean" just in case.
edit: as for the bug itself afraid cant make out the image well enough.

Dude, thats not cool...you could get this dude to kill his whole grow....
I hope he researches on his own and knows better than to listen to the 1st piece of advice he gets.
Looks like a mite of some sort.... I'd recommend a dousing with "Green Light Fruit Tree Spray"
ITs about $15.00 or less at Lowes/Depot and will make gallons of spray. It's VERY concentrated. I use it at around 2-3 caps per "sprayer" bottle... I really soak the hell outta the plants for 2 days and then skip 4-5 days and check their status.
I dunno about THAT bug, but 2 spotted spider mites like to hang out about 1/4" down below the surface of the soil in addition to on the tree... Be sure to SOAK your soil surface with the Green Light spray....
Green Light is great because its 100% safe to use around food products, which also means its safe for your cannabis.
Good luck.

Well first off I'm not that stupid rofl.. but thanks for protecting your fellow grower guys 
... it was a male plant anyway.. and all the pollen had droped so it was time for chopping so I did then came here to see this joke hehe...so either way who cares I was gonna chop that male and leave the others alone no matter what he anyone said.. plus I have neem oil for any real pest... also I love how you ask where I live lol.. must love karma for you.. 
I think that would be better targeted to an impatient person who didn't studied up the entire grow before they planted 1 seed

Well asking where you live doesn't have to be specific. North East, Mid West, South, West Coast (for america) would give all the information people need. Some pests are indegenous to certain spots, and a person in Maine may never experience some of the issues a person in Texas does.

Use neem oil with Dutchmasters penatrator. It will make your neem go alot further and last longer. My friends swear by the Dutch Master penatrator.
why is this in the toker's den?
i would think the infirmary would be the place to post this thread.

Just so you know, Hennessey, it wasn't targeted towards any specific type of person. Even then, I don't think it matters if one didn't studied.
The post was a joke in it's entirety and if anyone took it seriously, well, their innate common sense is lacking sarcastic interpretation quite significantly.
