buggie on my baby - what is it

[farmgreen]

Anyone know what this is? I was bathing my 2 new plants

today and loping out some mystery white spots on the leaf and found this. I did not see this until I went back over the pictures.

That’s pretty obvious,
It’s a Thrip,
Let’s see the hole plant?

We have had code red air quality conditions because of the smoke from canada - i thought maybe that was causing the issue. yeah i know it's not much. Thanks for the info. i can look that up.

Does not look good

I don’t think a few Thrips are responsible. May be unhappy roots from improper watering practices. Just two cents.

Give more info on soil composition,
Any info you can give will help farmers help you diagnose your issue, @Oldchucky is 100% correct!
She/he did not get to that color from a bug

What do you mean you were "bathing" your plants? And......loping?

Probably watering too often. Need to let them dry out good. If you are in a humid neck of the woods, that may take three or four days. Good on you for inspecting them. And there’s nothing wrong with giving them a bath if you do it without soaking the soil. I gave Mine a bath on Sunday morning. Some folks have an aversion to bathing!

I HATE shower days.

Bathing is for people........well, most people.

You can use a fan to help the soil evaporate if it's too soaked.

Oh, come on! It’s only once a week! Saturday!

And pot plants. I’ll bet diesel gives his girls an occasional shower. It’s actually very good for them. But only if you’re outdoors. Lol.

I mean, you can hose them down real quick if they're dirty........even then it isn't necessary.

They did not like the potting soil i started out with it. It was just something i had on hand, but it seemed like they were growing too slow, even under a grow light. I repotted them with promix garden mix and put them outside full time (for the most part). It has been rainy hear lately. It could be they have had too much water. I gave them a bath because i saw the spots on their leaves. Basically rinsed each leaf off with a tiny bit of water to clean them. one is 2.5" tall, and the other is 3.5" tall.
