Thought I had spider mites the bad ones! I did release the three pack predators
but this looks like a tiny insect as I don't see eight legs. Maybe a type of aphid but it's tiny just like a spider mite. Aphids usually are bigger and I'm only seeing a few of these not tons as Id expect with aphids. I wanted to try lady bugs as a treatment for gnat flies and also the spider mites I'm aprox 3 weeks from harvest and was thinking of using pyrethrum TR from whitemire micro-gen from
wmmg.xxx Any Ideas would be great.
THANK.

If you would just click on my gallery as I haven't been able to post the pics?


I also keep getting the error below when trying to add an image. If any one knows why Id appreciate the help. I'm just using the add to post button.

Well, it's not a ladybug or a spider so I say off with it's little head. I guess aphid but, it's a guess.

Takes 3 posts to include pics. Welcome aboard.

Sorry, I can't help id the bug or offer an opinion on your insecticide but I can tell you I have had good success with the hot shot no pest strips for ridding my garden of springtails. I had to set the ventilation on a timer for lights out like 2 hours off 1/2 hour on to make sure humidity didn't rise too much. I know these aren't springtails but I've heard people using the no pest strips for many different garden pests. Good luck with your problem.

Now I see the little bastards... What kind of damage do they do? I'd guess thrips or an aphid of some sorts. Anywho, it looks like it's sucking from the leaves.. Pyrethreum works fine for those.

Thank all, Still no definitive answer though. I really think its some type of aphid, not your standard type though the pics are 60X under a scope they are actually about the size of the tip of a needle. the funny thing is I still have seen no damage other than having tiny bugs on the little resin filled bud leaves which I'm not to keen on smoking bugs but really no damage. The spots you see are from wind burn and only is on that strain as it was the strain in front of the fan (Endless SKy). The only other odd part is once thy decide to go under the leaves they all seem to get stuck natural sticky tape HEHEHEHEHEHEHE. Its just annoying not knowing and wondering if in a week or two there just might be billions. If I go the Pyrethreum route does it just disappear after a few weeks or will there still be residue ? Also if there was any residue
would it be safe and or effective to lite mist with water lights off so as to rinse any residue away a couple days before harvest or will this tweak the girls Im about 2-3 weeks to harvest.
