title pretty much says it, it happened twice on different buds
the buds look great, they kinda scared me it scampered across real quick, idk wtf it was has this ever happened to anyone? i hope they move out when i dry it, i dont wanna have to smoke them :fire:
sativa bagseed, its outdoor bagseed of a good strain, rare seed out a 60 dollar bag. about two more weeks left :-P. tons of trichs, i harvested a perfect bowl amount early and it already gets me stoned! cant wait.
i bought my microscope at radioshack a couple weeks ago, 60-100x magnification with a built in light, perfect for pot... hard to find ask them for it, if they ask what its for (which they shouldnt, say its for jewelery or, or its for somone else running errands.) or to fuck off

no problems with the leaves? if plant looks good, probably alright, especially if close to harvest
growing outdoors means bugs, you're going to have some, this is a natural product

ugh actually tthe leaves have been shriveling up and curling under turning brown (i hink phosphorus def.) i stopped feeding her a 2 weeks ago, but i mixed in a little guano and mollasses to hopefully perk her back up, its sativa and taking forever to bud. still have 1 to 2 weeks it and it started flower july 18!

could be normal, not unusual for fan leaves to brown up at the end
it's pretty dicey to try any pesticide now, probably better to ride it out
tiny bugs could be spider mites, but there's so many possible bugs, and they're not all bad

if you could see everything magnified at 100x you would be surpised at how alot of things are pretty gross ha a fr example, every person's eyelashes have small mites living at the bases. EVERYONE. its just the way it is. the bugs you saw probaby were nothing serious. i wouldnt worry about it man. as long ans the bud is oming aong fine i wouldnt sweat it.

i wasnt really worried about them ,just curios what they are
any thing has bugs/microscopic life on it, even food its not a big deal
i used sticky yellow sheets, all the bugs stuck to it, no more white flies, i also caught a ton of leaf hoppers, those cool blue and red looking ones, but they suck they eat your plants. they do great a job, the sticky yellow sheets.
