What the hell is this? Spider mites?
if it was mites they would start on one plant and systemically move from plant to plant.
if you want to use something cheap and effective that is organically based try some bedding spray. you can find it at walmart or the grocery store. it's used for lice. it's active ingredient is permethrin, which is made from the chrysanthemum. it will knock out the thrips too.
it's safe to use (works great to get rid of mites on snakes) as it dissepates quickly in bright light. just don't breathe in the fumes. spray everything good and if need be spray again in a day or two.
on a side note, is your soil staying moist?

What the hell is this? Spider mites?
Yeah I just did the old alcohol and water remedy and sprayed thoroughly. And sprayed every hour with plain water 4 times. and I'll neem oil it tomorrow. someone told me to do it 2 times a week for a few weeks then every couple weeks to keep up with it. What do ya think?
My soil is moist when I water it but after a day dries on the top. I figured that is okay right? Other than that I try to water every 2 days. I try not to get antsy.
Thanks alot for everything. If there is anything really important that I should take into consideration I'm open to all opinions.

I think .......
Since you are about to harvest no neem, it will destroy the taste.
Actually no anything if you are a week away from harvest, tough it out, looks like you made it.
DISINFECT the grow room with a bleach water mixture, spray the corners and floor edges with a strong insecticide such as Sevin.
