Trip nymph?

Just did some research and that would be my guess?

 

[Shawnery]

Thrip, damn autocorrect, nymph!

 

[Two.Bears]

Aphids or mites?

Nice work on that GIF.

Mites, talk about hard photo, little fuckersmove fast. That little pocket microscope is not the easiest way to go on a camnabis safari.
And I got big fat green catipeller as well thst are hard to find. I assume they don't come out till night because that's when I found one. About 4 minutes after dark.

Great pics, bad news
Time to nuke em

I've been using h202/water mixture at a 3 to 1 ratio. I spray my plants every night at lights out. It's been helping but slow going because it actually needs to touch them.

Believe it or not it's actually beneficial for the plant while detrimental to the bugs. It's just so hard to get under all the leaves.

I'm picking up some ladybugs as well for the bugs and then a praying mantis for the catipellers.

 

[Shawnery]

No nuking since I'm flowering. I'm also considering a shop vac on the leaves. Read good reviews though labor intensive.

 

[Shawnery]

Has to be spider mites since I got the fungus looking white spots on the tops as well.

Just ordered 300 ladybugs and a praying mantis.

That's spider mites right there. You'll need way more than ladybugs, looks like that's been going on for a while.

I feel your pain.. This bastard was attacked hard. Broke my heart.

 

[Shawnery]

That's spider mites right there. You'll need way more than ladybugs, looks like that's been going on for a while.

??? During 3rd week of flowering?

 

[Shawnery]

And these pieces of shit.

The good thing is there are no noticeable webs to be seen so they must not be that bad. What makes you think it's so bad from seeing one mite?

P.s. why do you think ladybugs won't be enough? It's said that each one averages 100 mites a day. I've bought 300 so that's 30,000 mites a day.

Green Cleaner. dunking works best. or spray but need to douse heavily and repeat in 2-3 days to get eggs too. I do 3 rounds. after harvest do a major clean up of your grow area. In future think about doing a preventative maintenace program. it's so much easier.

 

[Shawnery]

Just found 3 more catipellers so that's 6 in 2 days.

Is that a lot or am I just touching the surface. I found one starting a cocoon and could hardly see him in the web.

 

[Shawnery]

I think I've got an entire eco-system in my grow room.

I think like most now that it's a two spotted spider mite close up on my leaf. I think that the whitish looking larvae thing might be the larvae from a species of midge. I have a lot of midges where I live.

I damn well hope that they are what I hope they are because the midge is the natural predator of the spider mite, eggs and all.

Wouldn't that be the silver lining on my clouds or do I got it wrong?

Wow you have catapillers inside? That's a first for me, As far as the mites I agree on the green cleaner like start today. You have along ways to go, honestly even with you spraying there will come a point where you just don't want to be spraying anymore and that's when the mites will really take off and then you end up webbed up in the end. However you choose to tackle this, I'd get on that quickly. Next time spray afew round in Veg, preventative is key. I know from years of experience that "Just" lady bugs won't cut it. Happy Growing

BT for catapillers. How many plants are you growing? Honestly if it's not that many you might consider starting fresh. Just my opinion. Happy Growing
