Indoor grow, found these. I did pick off a few spiders or spider mites when I first moved it into the basement, must have come in from outside and found the plant?
Jacks dood… are they moving?

Did you look at them with a loop? To me they look like small mealy bugs. If there eggs they won’t have legs…

If it’s spider mites I used a combination of Jacks Dead Bug, Mammoth, and predator mites. I haven’t been able to find live spider mites in a couple of weeks.
I rotated the jacks and mammoth every three days. Let them sit for about a week with no treatment, and then released my own mite army.

I’m thinking aphid eggs from what I have seen on Google.

Maybe, but you mentioned you already observed and removed a few spider mites. If there were a few, there are still at LEAST a few. And if those are mite eggs, which would be hard to identify without seeing some magnified photos and seeing live mites, the population is about to start growing exponentially. It can get away from you quick.

Do you have a loop you can use to confirm. Pick a few more leaves from around the plant, and scope up and down the underside of the leaf. If you don’t find any scope the tops. My $$ is you’ll find them. My hope is you won’t.
In either case consider predator bugs. Natures Good Guys likely has what you need to kill what you don’t.

I’m still on vigilant overwatch mode on my mom tent and my veg tent. I brought in a few clones that bit me and I threw the kitchen sink at them. Most folks say spider mites are one of the enemys that can’t be completely eradicated without tossing plants, I’m gonna F around and find out. Currently, the only mites on my plants are on my team, or at least their hiding pretty well if not.

I guess let me ask this, are spider mites visible to the naked eye? I did some more googling last night and it seems they aren’t (or maybe they are?)…? The little spiders I saw were visible, black with maybe a little white and they didn’t have the full webbing shown in spider might pics, the webbing was more of a typical spider, stringy and separated…if that makes.sense. I do have spiders in the basement with egg sacks, I try to vacuum them up as I catch them but I’m sure we all know how that goes.
Still leaning towards aphids but I’ll get some leaves under the microscope tonight and post pics.
I have to agree with @DieselGRWR looks like aphids eggs
