i recived 3 plants from a grower and little did i know they were infested with small bugs!!! i removed the plants from my grow area however they had already spread and now my whole colection exept a few plants have them. there are two types of bugs, both verry small (1mm if that) one is fat and the colour of a light wood, the other blackish with white wings (although i am not sure if they can fly, i have never seen them fly just jump) i have tryed manny methods but none seem to work. i need them gone and have started thinking about getting rid of my plants then restarting. PLEASE HELP ME any idea on what they are please let me know. any way to get rid of them PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!! thank you for your time and please help me!!!

Sounds like whiteflies. If you search this forum you will find a recipe for Al Bickell's Neem Oil spray. It should get them under control. The standard concentration recipe is fine for these bugs and is fairly non-toxic to CP's.

I second Lloyd. Neem oil does magic.

Can you post up some pics of these critters?
If one of the "bugs" you're seeing is a type of springtail, then they are most likely harmless.
Have you had any problems with your plants - ie. stunted growth, deformities, malformed leaves?
As Lloyd and Hackerberry have stated, Neem Oil is a good control, when applied fairly regularly over time.
