First week and a half of flowering of two different plants. These little worms or caterpillars or whatever are probably no bigger than the point of a fine point pen. Should I try the dish soap in water thing? Any other suggestions? The plants don't seem to be affected at all at this point, except one of them seems to have faint spots on the fan leaves, and maybe some kind of shiny residue. I have no idea if this is due to the bugs, but the leaves themselves are green and healthy.

Buga are never good. Doesn't matter what they are get rid of them. Remember caterpillars eat leaves, I'd get rid of 'em fast.

Wasps do one of the best cleaning jobs I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, the spiders do a great job but they are more passive, setting up a web and waiting for other bugs to stroll by (I know not all spiders are like this, but the ones I find on the plants are). Wasps on the other hand are very active and pretty much do a seek and destroy mission on your plant

If you've ever seen a wasp work a plant then you know what I am talking about.

I attached a couple pictures of a spider doing his thing.

Whiteflies maybe?

From "Grow Great marijuana" by Logan Edwards:
Whiteflies
The whitefly life cycle is interesting in that the larval stage does all the damage. The larva will hatch and reamin until it has quickly molted three times. Then it pupates and an adult emerges. Whiteflies behave just like spider mites. The insect hides underneath the leaf and sucks it's (sic) dinner from it, which results in white spots on the top side of the leaf.

Signs of infestation
The top surface of leaves on infested plants become pale or spotted due to these insects feeding on the underside of the leaves. Whiteflies are easily spotted with the naked eye. Heavily infested plants will produce a buzzing cloud of flies if shaken. They look like little white moths and are around two millimeters in size.

Controlling the Whitefly
Insecticidal soap will take care of an infestation, as will more toxic insecticies. Apply the soap (plus a wetting agent) to every part of the plant, including both sides of the leaves. This will act to block the breathing pores and suffocate the pests.

Jon, that pic is so awesome, where did you find that pic or is that your pet spider?.lol. I still want a praying mantis, their cool looking and they are supposed to eat insects and won't harm your plants.

So once I've administered an insecticide (which I will do tonight once the lights come back on, don't want to disturb their sleep!), can I expect the leaves to recover, or will they remain as they are? I'm referring to the white spots on top of the fan leaves.
