blackpoolbouncer Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Id say that you've got spider mites mate. If they are that far gone I'd get them number down before you take cuts otherwise the cuts will be fucked by the time they come out. Loose Persimilis and californicus sachetswillha e it under control in no time 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSilverSurfer Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 It looks like the little white eggs are floating like on a web! I've also just found thrips! 2 minutes ago, Personunknown said: Afraid it looks that way from a distant meeting i had with them ,but could be wrong , any fine web anywhere ?

CBDGUY Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 just an observation, but with that many mites, there would be conciderable webbing from experiancing the little fuckers. they deffo look like mites, there are russet and broad mites, could it be one of the later two??

FergusGrowman Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 @GreenSilverSurfer I've never had any spider mites in my grow so I can't confirm if they are or not. I've had thrips and whitefly tho. Once you identify what your issue is you should take a look at predator mites! Fight bugs with bugs , wee bitta bug warfare ! Nothing more pleasing than clearing up an infestation and seeing the ally bugs patrolling the plant keeping it safe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdog Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 i can spot sm a mile off but those pics are inconclusive for me, some of the whole leaf would be better, but it does look like a touch of Ca def on one pic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owderb Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure they are mites either. You can see if they are mites with the naked eye. They are like little crabs, not elongated at all and if you have a lot of mites you would see strands of webbing plus webs all over the infected plant. The tops of the leaves will have all white/yellow spots all over them. Owd Edited January 27, 2021 by Owderb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owderb Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Once again it could well be but the pic is not clear enough. If you can see eggs and black dots of shit on the undersides of the leaf then it probably is but you should see spots on top of the leaves Take a pic of the offending plant so we can see the topside of the leaves Owd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
