    Default Answered: Second opinion?

    So I was in my grow tent this morning doing a bit defol and lst and finished up and brought my leaves down to check for pests as I do every couple of days and found this on a leaf, I don’t know what it is if it’s even anything to worry about, just asking because my plants have been suffering holes and tears in leaves and couldnt find anything until now

  2. "From the pic looks like a young 2 spotted spider mite plus looks like there is a egg on the leaf to. Get some white paper place under the plants and give them a good shake then inspect what has fallen on the paper with a magnifying glass or device. If it is mites and you live in the uk a great treatment for removing them is BugClear Fruit and veg. it is organic and is made from plant oils and extracts. Oh and its not over priced like a few aimed at canna growers are."

    As kbag said that stuff works well, always at this time of year start preventative spraying every couple of weeks, only the first week or two of flower in veg it’s ok.

    I normally just do a light spray of the base of the pots this seems to keep the nastys away I find. Good job you caught early I lost a crop to bugs not taking it seriously brought in on my clothes and bang plant eaten till she would grow no more.

    Good luck and enjoy your fruits
