UKsFinest Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hi guys I've just found this dodgey leaf on my plant with damage and eggs I've checked it under a 60x loupe and cannot see any movement so I think they are eggs I ran my fingers under the leaf while it was on the plant and got some orange stuff on my finger so I must of squashed one. just wondering if anyone can tell me what is the best way to go about dealing with this thanks.

Inspiration101 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Wrong sort of damage I reckon. Had the sh*ts last 3 grows, think I finally eradicated them this grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you rekon that could be mate I've just ordered some predatory mites Phytoseiulus persimilis. Hopefully that can take care of whatever that is. That's a bummer man 3 grows how did it all turn out in the end though I've read some horror stories and I've been through a couple myself tbh.

Inspiration101 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Sorry, no idea. Check underside of leaves also. Someone else in the know will pop in I'm sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspiration101 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 chopping early by 2 or 3 weeks due to infestations is no fun. Pull the infested leaves to lower the outbreak is all I can advise in good conscience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icki Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Could be Aphid eggs maybe...loads around outside at the moment. E2a although for some reason I normally see them on the underside of the leaves... Edited June 5, 2020 by icki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKsFinest Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Right I've checked em over everywhere and I can't find any more signs touch wood I think that could of been the beginning of whatever they are but handy to have the predators on board anyway so don't mind spending a few quid just to make sure they are gone.

iShouldCoCo Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I don't think they are spider mites - those are eggs of some kind for sure, but not spider mite but I'd say thrips 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man there's no bananas or hermies mate definitely some sort of damage and eggs I've got predators on the way that's the only bit of damage that I can see touch wood. Do you think it's ok to add a few predators without seeing many pests 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
