It doesn't really look like spider mites, leaves will take on a more mottled appearance.

aphids
Well I do have mites. Now I've had them a minute, but no signs of poop really. I've had and defeated thrips, I dont think that's it...
Heres a mite
Took that about a minute ago. These dont really do much just cruise the pot and coco. I never see them on the plant. Not that it's not concerning, but again plants are HEALTHY! and theres no black or white specs on any leaves. So my thought is... it's possible (not probable) they are predatory and just eat the fungus gnat larvae. (Yes I have those too, lol).
Here is another shot of the bug thats actually on the plant and under sides of the leaves....
Again I'm pretty bummed about having any of these shits in my GR, but I can do some nematodes after I cycle my neem and alc.
Again appreciate all your help!!!!

Awesome guys. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help and input! So lady bugs probably instead of nematodes. I know they love aphids! Off to do some research....
Hmmm those suckers look and move just like mine do.... cant say for sure, but it makes sense they're feasting on the gnats, hence why I dont see anything on the plant itself.
My mites seriously haul ass like I have to chase them with the camera lol.

Hopefully the ladybugs do the trick.
I wonder how Mrs MadDab is going to feel about ladybugs in the house!
