well i just went to the store and bought some plant bug spray made for both fruit and flowering plants sais it is safe for fruits up to the day of harvest i hope it works ok... fingers crossed i also noticed some small spider type webs strung between some of the branches and strips of lighter shades on some leafs and a few very small pin holes through the leaves. not sure if this is from these guys or not... the webs scared me like i may have s mites... you think you would be able to see them in that pic or are the really microscopic... i also have an ott light magnifying light but cannot seem to spot any spider mites...i will wait about a week and re-spray as to catch any eggs if any that may hatch in the mean time... please someone chime in and just let me know your thoughts i hope the spray i got dont hurt her...

I saw one of these for the first time ever!!!

It wasn't doing anything to my plant, it was on a nearby branch. I pointed it out to my friend cause it looked pretty odd to me.


I only grow organically, i got rid of my small spider mite infestation by just wiping down both sides of ever leaf with a clean wet towel. "not too wet though"

I did see a regular spider scurry away from the bottem of the planter maybe it was his webs i dont know can you see spider mites with the naked eye hell i even looked with a magnified light and couldnt see any or eggs for that matter.... but those little guys in the pic where defently doin damage to my baby, basterds.... lol
