Hello, I'm a new backyard grower. I just bought a cheap microscope to check on tricome development and discovered microscopic worms calling in my buds. Can anyone help me identify and possibly treat the issue. Could not see with naked eye.

Interesting, almost looks like a snail without its shell, even a maggot , but there usually a bit larger.

I don't know what they are, but they should die.

I'd first check to see if they enjoyed a citric acid shower. Safe to use on budding plants.

Larva of some type insect. I’m sure you could find some predator insect species that would gorge themselves on em.

You're going to need to dilute it a bit. Nuke 'Em is about 0.05% citric acid UNDILUTED. Then it is diluted to between 1 fl. oz. in a quart to 2 fl. oz. in a quart. (A fluid ounce is 2 tablespoons.)

So here's an update most of my buds are almost invader free I do still have some stubborn pockets of resistance but they will be dealt with. I ended up doing a few different things that seem to work and my buds are thanking me. First I used a citric acid solution of 3 tsp citric acid powder per liter, misted early morning, then alternated with a solution made up of crushed garlic with skin, red onion skins, and an aloe vera leaf cut into straps. Soaked everything in water for 6 hrs strained and sprayed in am.

I'd rather smoke bugs than any of the shit you contaminated your bud with.

Then by all means smoke bugs, this thread was for advice and my buds are looking great and smelling dank so your opinion is quite useless and irrelevant to what the thread was about. Also before consulting threads and just using said advice I also did my own research to safe organic methods of treating and repeling insects all while my plants seem to be thriving since , so if you took the time to read all this I'd like to wish you well putting worms in your mouth. Lmao not your bud not your problem move the fuck on
