Any thoughts, mite eggs or transpiration? Clear to cloudy, small round translucent balls. Nothing moving that I could see but I had also recently sprayed some preventatives on them. Small things hope that you can see them. Thanks for your thoughts…
Rosemary oil can be effective against eggs I believe.

Do you see any adult mites or have any mite damage?

Am not seeing any adults at the moment. Nothing obvious, there are a couple of spots on the leaves but no speckling that I could see. Could be damage from handling and such since they are still pretty young.
I can’t say it’s not mites but they normally lay the eggs on the underside of the leaves. Check the underside of the leaves. If you don’t see anything you are probably safe. But keep a sharp eye out over the next week.
They are quick little suckers and good at hiding.

I’ve been using Norcal 86. Which, I think it contains rosemary oil. Doesn’t smell too bad, either…
Ok, thanks. Will be observant. I’m probably being paranoid…
Keep an eye out, but those are probably just bulbous trichomes. I see no signs of damage or faeces.

Im impressed you even saw that. Ive gotten pretty good at seeing thripes or fleas (i have a cat), but those dots are tiny!

Interesting. It Tells me a little something about tricome size to micron size and how it would allow one to separate some of the tricome types.
