They are thirps here is a link for the management of them http://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7429.htmlHi all.
I'm new to this forum - and to outdoor growing ( I have had some successful experience indoor ages ago whilst in college).
I just planted (early July) outdoor, in soil, two clones that I go from CG. I just moved in this place so I was in a rush to get it growing. Not too sure of the genetic(s), but they looked healthy. One is said to be a form of Kush which should be a good fir for where I live (7000ft in Colorado), the other supposed to be GorillaGlue#4.
The soil is very dry and sandy; I have heaps of sunlight.
They have been growing fine. I give very little organic nutrients, water every two or three days at most.
Some leaves were eaten (slugs?) so I got some D.E. which I have been using a lot in the past for veggies/herbs gardens. The D.E. took care of that I think.
But there were also a few (always from 3 to 10 on each plant that I could see) little white bugs. These are definitively not spidermites (I know how to recognize these ones - got some indoor exposure :)
They were here before the D.E. and, most surprisingly, are still here since (I have put D.E> for four days now).
They look too big for aphids. They are mostly on the top or on the junctions where the new leaves or branches are sprouting.
Anyone know what they are?
Are they harmful?
THX in advance.

Hi man, good to know you managed to keep them under control.I always have those too, here in CO at around 7k feet also. Didn't know how much damage they do, never had them get out of control. But good info, thanks!
Do you plan on using a cold frame or greenhouse for your first outdoor grow at 7k? You should.
