This sounds like aphids. They are airborn for part of the life cycle - and are usually very small. An air filter on the in-take is a start and they like warm temps ussually preferring the undersides of leaves and can destroy crops under severe investation. Capsaisin, CO2, cinnamon oil, cariander oil (SM90), garlic, Neem oil, pyrethrum and even vacuuming are all good cures. Neem oil degrades real fast and is good for later blooming plants gathered you avoid spraying colas and buds directly.

It could be Mealy bugs or scales as well. Males are tiny flies in both species and many of the same solutions apply - specifically Neel oil and Pyrethrum. For tough to get bugs in crevises use a q-tip and alcohol.

With any investation just be vigilant and persistant - cleaning and disinfesting every thing and filter all your intakes. Repeat spraying and cleaning in a week after the first just to be sure. Good luck

Since your in bloom, I would go down to the nursury and buy a couple bags of lady bugs and let them go in your grow room, they love aphids and wont harm your plant!!!!
 
Hehehe ... I seem to have beaten the pHp script by leaving a double thank you...
