Newbie just playing - what is this? Will research, can you help?

radrichie61 · Sep 15, 2022

I have read a lot about deficiencies and excess and some on diseases. Have not had much problem at all. I am a newbie who is just playing in the sand in the backyard. So, can you help me? What the hell is this? I haven’t seen this one anywhere. These little white dots are all over everything from the top to the bottom fan leaves have these. This is a deficiency or something I need to addresses or not?

Thanks ahead of time.

Added a few more pics. At this time I don’t see any sp mites black dots, I think. HELP!

That leaf underside doesn’t look good….yep I’m thinking crotch critters too but there’s tons more species besides the borg…. perhaps aphids??….. when they molt from 1 larval stage to the next they leave their old exoskeleton behind….

let’s see what other replies come in today….

Looks like thrips - time to spray the entire area or introduce some predators

Mites, lice - the name doesn't matter, they are eating your crop so even 'thieving bastards' will do

Hello, what's a good spray for thrips? For plants totally in flower.

Hello, I've used it. It's hard to get complete coverage on large plants but it definitely cuts down on the numbers. I've never sprayed it on buds though. I heard it alters the taste/smell. Bud washing outdoor harvests is a good idea no matter what.
Stay stoneder
