Found it, here ya go bud, this will explain what you're seeing, good luck!Hello everyone, and thanks for taking a look! Ok so a little background: 1.5 years ago I fought and fought broad mites and finally licked them using wettable sulfur and vaporizing sulfur...closed down shop due to a move...just sprouted some nice beans a couple of months ago and made a noob mistake of keeping the freshly sprouted seedlings in a dome which brought in Fungus Gnats, which then screwed the seedlings up; but I started seeing the tell tale signs of BM or RM (twisting/puffy leaf margins) and culled them out. After the maybe rash decision I couldn't help but wonder if these were symptoms of a failing young root system, not the stupid Broad Mite.
Well I got my hands on some new babies (clones) and preventativly applied wettable sulfur and now have a new USB microscope. Over the last few days of scoping things I've been noticing these translucent round ovals all over the leaves, but not a single movement anywhere. Do you guys think these are BM eggs?? The white stuff is the sulfur residue.View attachment 939587View attachment 939584View attachment 939585View attachment 939586View attachment 939587View attachment 939588View attachment 939589View attachment 939590
Oh man thank you so much! I am almost certain after hours of scoping the new growth that what I'm seeing are these capitate‐sessile trichomes, but I will continue to scope things and post any new findings as to help anyone else that goes through this "oh shit I think I've got mites again" infestation of the mind lol.Found it, here ya go bud, this will explain what you're seeing, good luck!
Possible lockout in living soil?
Veg, about 4 weeks old under T5HO. But these are fairly old plants in general...www.thcfarmer.com
Thanks beachwalker, your responses are greatly appreciated. I had planned on transplanting today but wasnt sure if it was ideal with them seeming a little stressed, but I will go on with it as planned.Staying too wet; recommend you up-pot into their final homes with some well-draining medium, good luck!
Will baking soda kill off my beneficial fungi and bacteria also?I agree. It’s a fuzzy mold growing because it’s too wet and humid. Baking soda will kill that. I just bought some baking for that same problem on some (non cannabis) slow germinating seeds and slow growing seedlings.
Oddly enough the fungus appeared in the morning a few days ago when they were dry and ready for a watering.If you’re worried about that, you should just scrape the mold off and improve drainage. Like the other person said. Make sure you let the top inch or two of your soil dry out
Recommend you just transparent into fresh well-draining medium, wouldn't do anything else right now if those were my plantsWill baking soda kill off my beneficial fungi and bacteria also?
That's exactly was I was thinking based on photos and what not from some of the no till guys I follow on the gram. Side note, or question, do any of you happen to know if the premixed super soils can support red wigglers? Im wondering if it can supprt them so I can benefit from the aeration of them munching around. I plan on working my way up to building my own soil but I just bought bagged until I learn more, and dont really want to add more perlite to the mix.Dont kill it! Its Mychorrhizae fungus! Very beneficial, as long as your roots are still pearly white then I wouldnt worry!
I cant tell you how many people both at my store and even on here use Promix- BX and run into this problem and think they have bad mold!
What that basically says is that your soil is highly active with microbial growth!
I do agree with everyone though it is an indication of your soil being too wet.

You have living soil mann... Dont kill it!

Red wigglers and perlite don't mix- it's really abrasive to them. If you want to incorporate live worms you'll likely need to design a soil around it.
Ill have to let my 5 customers that successfully grow in soil with perlite added this new revelation!
Do you check with them to see if the worms are alive at harvest?
Put red wigglers in soil with Perlite in it and watch them sometime. They pretty clearly hate it.
I do not think that those are eggs. I don't see any with legs!Hello everyone, and thanks for taking a look!
