Mites?

RealLoud95 · Nov 27, 2017

day 30 in flower, looking for a second opinion if I've got mites on my tangie cut. Bare with me the pictures were taken through a 6 dollar microscope via my iPhone and using one hand as the other is in a cast right now lol. Will try to update with better quality pictures

Look on the underside of leaves for them.....If you can see little spots, might even move if you look close. Then look with a scope. Not hard to find the answer then!

could remove a suspect leaf, submerge it in water and the mites will float to the top where you can positively identify them, or not.

Neat! Never heard or thought of that.

Check the undersides of the leaves. The fuckers are SMALL. Use a sprayer with the finest mist you have...and spray your plants top to bottom. If they are at work..the fine mist will reveal any webbing present.

A leaf held close to the light (heat) will cause them to move on the leaf surface as well.

If you see em...do not hesitate or hold back on control measures. Thy mate/multiply every few days and can get a firm hold quickly.

You got webbing. Your finding them rather late!
That would be an advanced infection...

True...but if someone has to ask such questions in the first place...they need all the help they can get.

a black light will show all kinds of things in and outside of the grow room. webbing, pests
molds, etc. everyone should have a small one in their grow room and their drying space for inspection imo

The green twisty 15 watt cfl bulb I use to see dimly for a minute during lights off does a nice job of that too.
