Help Please Is This White Powder Or?

It's 1000s of mite bites on the underside of your leaves
Looking again could be trips on the tops also

Looks pretty bad

Good eye. Looks mega thrippy. Spinosad and azamax on rotation if they're in veg or first week of bloom. Any further in idk mang, maybe met52 and cucumeris..... Looks quite bad tho:speechless:

yes so sad, thanks for the advice. It's been in bloom for maybe 3 weeks. Will it spread to other plants? And can i keep it under control enough to harvest? What to do

Dang I'm blind..... was looking at the leaf damage and didn't see the obvious buds and you even said it had flowers.... Anyhow, yea it will spread to others if it hasn't already. Is it the only one that has bug damage? Are the plants huddled together and touching one another ? Probably not a lot you can do at this point. You could remove the worst leaves put up some yellow or blue sticky traps maybe some nematodes and or cucumeris if you can get em. Could probably still spray w met52 but idk I'd probably just ride it out at this stage. It looks pretty advanced and anything you spray will remain on and inside of buds. Idk about you but I'd rather smoke a lil bug poop than pesticides. Bummer dude.... At least now you know for next time.... Get rid of any and all pests in veg even if you don't see anything. Preventative sprays w the least harmful pesticides is the way to go, then maybe some predator bugs to keep the little pricks at bay. Good luck

thanks Pharm hand. Yeah i was thinking to remove the worst leaves. Will do that in the morning and get some traps. So i'm thinking the plant could still come to harvest, but just might not produce as well? I def don't want to spray anything toxic on the plant.
yep, learning for next year

Im 99% sure its not thrips I have had them they leave a shine on the leafs like a slug would leave u got some type of mite

:sweating: spider mites, no fun

Damm! mites.
you have to start spraying asap

Spinosad with Neel oil extract and (one) drop of regular unscented dish soap as a wetting agent. The spotting may not go away but bugs shouldn't be an issue. Also you should be spraying 2-3 times daily period. None of my outdoor OR indoor gardens have bugs. This includes aphids, broad mites, spider mites ect.

Looks like aphids, My outdoor Jalepeno plants had them.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention, a great low cost way of removing powder mold is with hydrogen peroxide. I use a double shot glass for measuring: start with about 2.5ml rubbing alcohol mixed with 10ml of hydrogen peroxide and use a cotton swab to saturate the infected area. DO NOT FOLIAR THIS! You will ruin your crop and be sad. Namaste.

Here is are some pics for illustrative purpose.

You can see where the white mold started and stopped. Plants are beautiful and happy, allowing me to top every day to every other day. This is my 55gal experiment.
