    Default Webs on seedlings but no leaf marks - spider mites???

    I recently planted some seeds (a little over a week ago) and they've been sprouting super fast, already a few inches high.

    Yesterday I noticed some tiny string like webs between the plants and after googling it seems the most likely problem is spider mites? However I can't find anything about spider mites on seedlings and also it seems that people usually see the mites/marks on leaves before they see any webbing. I can see a few speckles on the underneath of some of the leaves but the main thing is these single strand webs between each plant. Basically impossible to capture in a photo... does anyone know whether or not this is mites?

    Hard to say with out pics but you could give them a spray with just water and wash them gently. This will remove any eggs and knock the spider mites off if it is spider mites. Let them dry in the natural light then get a loupe and inspect them carefully all over.

    If it is a little house spider then he's just after your nugs, you'll probably see him scampering off with some sugar leaves.

    Welcome to the forum.. If it's mites you'll see them underneath the leaves & little bits of poop Etc.. I doubt that it is mites as it's to early for them to start webbing, you'd normally see that in flower..
