  1. Lower right reddish one looks like a mature one, where the white/clear ones I think are young.
    They are on the tops of the leaves. The plant was gifted, came from outdoors, so not surprised to see some critters. Haven't seen this one before though.

  5. Do red spider mites make webs too? Never had spider mites before. Yikes! Good thing this girl is in an isolated setup.
     
  6. Hit it with Athena IPM, checked the leaves again, buncha super dead bugs now. Going to spray the crap out of her daily for a few days.
     
  7. Diatomaceous earth makes your plant more resistant to PM It's 80 to 90% silica,
    Spinkling it on top of your earth/dirt/soil/compost will kill most bugs hatching in your soil and coming to the surface.
    Diatomaceous earth ( silica ) is like razor blades and cuts the insects tender feet .

    You can spray Pyrethrin up to the day you harvest ,, Other products that have a Pyrethrin base some leave a residue and cant be used in flowering .
     
  8. Persimilis maybe?
    If so, it can stay!
