So take a look at the pics and tell me what you guys think...The plant is not very happy....there are small flies in the grow area from what I am told.....I think this looks like thrips from what I have found online....I am not real clear though about what they look like. anyway...lemme know what you guys think.
Thanks all

From what your told???...what do you mean...you haven't seen the plants in person? Aren't you growing them? That first pic looks like an aphid egg thing. If there are things flying around start by getting some of those hanging sticky fly traps. Oh wait is the grow outdoors or in? The pics look like outside, in which case the traps may not do much. Do some searching on the net for plant pests and cures...they are universal as far as I've found.

okay....I wouldnt outright say online that I grow pot. but yes they are inside. yesterday I found a little cluster of dark colored flys on one of the yellowed out leaves. they were all just kinda sleeping or something cause they werent moving...I pulled the tip of the leaf off and they all came with it. unfortunately I didnt get a pic of them....but they were all about a mm long. definitely not aphids...the bottom sides of the yellow leaves have what looks like bug shit on them. and there are a few small looking flys on the bottoms of the leaves. i just had that one outside to get a picture of the flowering without hps lights making the pic look odd. I am gonna just nail these bastards with insecticide. I figure it will be safe seeing as how this plant has only been flowering for about 40 days

Maybe it's just me, but that plant looks pretty near ready to cut...Some of my plants got pretty ratty looking near the end.....shriveled leaves, discoloration and the such......I'd harvest as soon as possible and clean like mad before next grow....There I said growing pot....online.................I'm toast...

I will post some detailed pics of the stomas in a few minutes....you really think this guy looks ready to go?...wow. i figured another 20 days at least.....well we will get some better pics up and see what you think then...plus...i still have two girls in there twice her size that are one week into flowering so I still have to deal with these dang bugs....fuck I hate bugs!

Since they're indoors go ahead and get a fly trap at the store...it wont cure it but it can only help. If you are going to harvest soon, then I wouldn't spray any chemicals.

looks like you have a little of everything. i see "scruff" marks on the leaves from thrips. i see "spots" that may be spidermites and i see fungus gnat poo(?).
