It could even just be a population explosion of beneficial soil mites. But like you said its gross to think about. Maybe a post harvest wash...No marks or spots on the plant just the yellow fade over flowering. These little mites do not appear to be harming anything. Buds developed nicely and smell great, super resiny. But I do not want to smoke the mites. And they are ugly AF.
Sorry I’ve been MIA! Those look exactly like what I had/have. I’ve made my peace with them since they didn’t cause any damage. You could sprinkle some diatomaceous earth on the main stem to keep from from crawling up your plant. As long as you don’t see damage, don’t worry about them.What is up! Nearing harvest and of course I found these mites on the lower buds of my sour diesel auto yesterday. It is in week 9, about a week or two left to go, and is growing in FFOF with a biotab in it in an Honor pot. These mites are primarily in the soil and crawling in and out of the holes in the fabric pot. I think they only recently moved into the lower buds which have been removed. Most of the buds are untouched at this point. I have two Mephisto grows going on in coco/autopots on each side of this plant that appear completely unaffected.
I'm growing three plants in a small grow tent and haven't had any real issues this time around until now. Been spraying og biowar brew every few weeks.
I removed the buds they had moved into- 90% were dead when I found them, but one or two mites were still moving.
Looks like the OG Biowar foliar pack had already gotten to the ones I noticed, in any event I sprayed with some Dr. Zymes and am going to keep doing so.
What are these mites? Mold mites? Bulb mites? Predatory mites?
I was able to take the attached videos.
thanks for your time!
Look into bud washing at harvest, I'm now a huge fan of it. I did a 3 step wash because of spider mites & the debris that came off makes me sick to think I've been smoking that shit. I'll be washing on every harvest, I love how it condensed the buds in drying as well.No marks or spots on the plant just the yellow fade over flowering.

Lol re: aphid lions. I need some of those. they sound badass.
I pulled my hair out trying to identify these little mites. I’ve ruled out any of the harmful pests like bulb mites. I’ve concluded they are a soil mite and like to feed on the dying roots as they grow through the fabric pots.
