Hey guys this is my first post. Im glad I found this site it looks very hewlpful. Anyway my first grow is going alright I got a couple plants that are looking good. The thing is all my plants have a bunch of mini grasshoppers on their leaves. These little critters are agile buggers i cant even swipe them off they just fly to another leaf. Anyway I tried taking pics but they didnt turn out very well. Are these buggers harmful? What about when my plants start to flower can they harm my buds? It doesnt look like they are harming the leaves very much but you can never be too careful. Should I buy some insecticide? Anyway good to be here. Thanks All. Happy Grows.:eyesmoke:

I spotted a couple of those shits on my gals last night! They got some fungicide right before lights out this morning. They leave a clear looking film on the leaves. This has gotta slow down transpiration, and I was thinking would potentially cause yellowing. Notice anything similar?

I to have a leaf hopper problem at first it wasn't much starting with just 1 or 2 but my problem has been getting worse i didn't think it would be a big deal at first but they really are starting to get annoying, i baught Neem concentrate which is organic pesticide from the neem tree its suppose to work it limits them a little but never gets rid of the little fu*kers i also have heard or soap and water, garlic and water, cayenne pepper and water, i havn't tried all those yet but i soon will be if anyone tries it let me know if it works but those are def leaf hoppers that you have.

i had a leaf hopper problem earlier in the year... Instead of switching to harsh chemicals first try to make a mix of of some pungent herbs in your spray bottle
I used crushed garlic, cayenne pepper, oregano, and a drop of dishsoap. I didn't measure any of these things out ..i just made a nice STINKY mixture of them and sprayed the shit out of my plants ... it worked.
The leaf hopper was my first pest problem... I was only noticing one or two ..i would catch and kill em. a day or two later ...i'd find another one or two . and repeat it ..... then i tried the mixture and if they were around they stayed away from my plants .. Try it. it works!!!
if your problem is severe then use bigger guns for em. My problem was small.
And that is a leaf hopper in your pic.... they do a nice job sucking the juices out of your leaves. I'm sure they can fuck shit up if not taken care of .... is this what your seeing.
