This morning I found this strange sand around the flowers and in the axillary areas of the plant. I removed it with a sterilized needle, unfortunately breaking a few healthy trichomes but without causing any serious damage.
It's the first time this has happened to me...can anyone tell me what it is? And if I should be worried?

Thanks in advance, guys.

no there are no insects, what you see is a mixture of material that looks like sand, the flower does not have holes in itself but has this kind of sand inside and on the side

Duct fan on 11 and you got a good deal on sweep fans.

Adjusting fans sometimes gets pot stuff airborne from time to time in my tent. I have found perlite in the fan in the lights. .
I also use a pressurized 2 gallon sprayer modified for nutrients. Right at the end the damn thing can spit junk up the wall if I do not pay close attention.
Does it look like dirt pot contents?

I don’t use perlite and I don’t have any fans. On my fingers it really feels like sand, and it even looks like there are traces of something glittering inside.

Really you got random outdoor debris and want to know what it is?
GLWT.

When your tomatoes get weird chemical blue tinge from something that fell out the sky you got problems. That is not a problem. Could be debris or insect 💩
Remove and if it returns shorten your visits till you catch it. Just before dark and just after light bugs move around

I'd consider cutting off the bud in that last picture, cutting it open, and putting it under magnification to see what there is to see.

In my case I think it only the first phase, climate change is the worst enemy here.
This caterpillar is from Colorado and usa zones but now its here in europe.
Damn it
