Great eyes and prevention man. Question, do you use DE to treat your soil prior? All theories are definitely possible and glad you caught it in time!Went to go water these girls tonight, and one of them had a pair of red spider mites on the cup. I squished them, and inspected the plant and didn’t see any others.
I took that one plant out of the tent and is now sitting on my spare desk. I didn’t see any signs of them on the other plants, so this is just a precaution. Tomorrow I’ll mix up some Azamax and spray them all and give the top soil on each plant a good coating as well.
As for how they got in there - I have 3 theories:
1. They hitched a ride on me (I see them from time to time outside, but not in large numbers).
2. They got into the bag of happy frog as the bags are out in my greenhouse.
3. I used a contaminated solo cup on accident.
Regardless, I spotted them, so now it’s time to take action. If I can’t get rid of them, then I’ll get rid of the plants and bleach my tent a few times and start a new batch in my spare 2x4.
