Hello all,
So I have a growroom that sits between 55 and 65 degrees on average depending how cold it is lately. I am just starting the flowering cycle, almost 1 week in. I noticed a few days ago what I believe was a single red mite, crawling down the main stem, and I squished it.
Later, I noticed tiny brown/red looking dots on some of the fan leaves, not many, and I have looked all over the plant up and down, but havent seen any mites.
I took a piece of leaf that had one of the dots and looked at it under my microscope, I didnt see any mites, but I saw round egg looking things, some had a whiter color, some looked more red, I even found one that was a deep red color.
In fear of a mite infestation, I took a number of fan leaves that had dots on them.
I learned online that mites take almost 22 days to hatch at 50-ish degrees. So maybe it was a single mite that somehow got in and bite some random leaves?
Either way, today I noticed a fan leaf had numerous very tiny white dots near one of the previously mentioned dots.
I took it and put it under the microscope, and I dont know what to think, but maybe its the start of some fan leaves getting trichromes?
But I have seen trichromes turning on a previous plant before under the microscope, it didnt look like this... please help me understand these photos...
Wait, can I upload photos from my tablet? I only see the option to upload from a url.
