So I got two clones of Crown Royale few weeks back, one never made it outta the solo cup. This one did. Have had some real weird issues with this plant that I haven't faced in previous grows.. idk if clones just tend to grow differently? Or if it's genetics of this particular seed? Anyways... Go to water it today and notice this tiny little "specks" on quite a few of the fan leaves.. I have yet to have any sort of bug issue with any of my grows so far. I'm typically VERY conscious of keeping the grow area, area I water them, and myself/hands as sterile and clean as possible. But I remember when I first got these two clones, I put them in my small 2*2*4 tent away from my other already mid-flower plants so they weren't under sucha intense light and different light schedule. And like a week later when I went to open the tent was hit with a ton of these "fruit fly" looking bugs.. ended up hanging fly ribbons everywhere and after a week or so, problem seemed to go away. But am starting to think I possibly never got rid of the problem at all, which is now what's causing these "specks"... I've done some research on different bugs, how they look, what to look for, etc. But figured I'd get a few other's opinions as well. My growing buddy put his two weeks in at our job about a month ago and moved onto a better job/position. So I no longer have someone to bounce things off of daily lol. I read on quite a few sites and forums that a tiny bit of dish soap in a spray bottle would help. So today when watering the plant I misted it with a VERY light mix of dish soap and water and have been letting it sit outta the tent for about an hour now(maybe I'm being too cautious or overthinking things, but figured I'd at least let it drip dry before putting it back under the light to prevent any sorta burning). I'm sure these kinds of questions have been posted multiple times, it's just hard to compare what I see online to real life sometimes lol. And as a side note, they're only on the tops of the leaves. Have only seen one leaf with specks on the bottom. And have also trimmed quite a bit, including leaves that had specks that I could see. Any input is incredibly appreciated!
