I don’t blame you, I’ve seen spider mites on a plant I had one time outdoors and it was so bad that you could barely even see the bud! Was completely covered in them.
Yeah scary ass shit. It wasn’t until that moment that I truly understood why they are referred to as the borg, cause seriously all of them on the plant like that looked like one of those borg cubes from Star Trek!
The worst is when a fungus gnat goes up your nose! I hate bugs with a passion. I’m considered by most to be a big, tough dude lol, but man some bugs just creep me out or sending me runnin!
Problem is my environment is inviting to spider mites = Hot & Dry… I need to make it more humide and wet from now on. But that also makes it bad for mold ect.
According to the Ontario (Canada) Ministry of Agriculture “Tender Fruit Grape Vine Newsletter for Commercial Fruit Growers” (Volume 11, Issue 5 May/June 2007) these are sap droplets called grape pearls or sap balls.
“Grape pearls are small sap-like, fluid-filled balls that are exuded from surface cells of rapidly growing grape vines. They appear most commonly in the spring and are often confused with mite or insect eggs. Some vines have many grape pearls but the pearls can appear singly or in smaller groups. They are usually found on the underside of leaves but can be on shoots as well. Grape pearls, also called “sap balls” are of no consequence to the vine.” https://hortnews.extension.iastate.edu/2009/6-3/grapepearls.html
No idea how I got spider mites. BUT checking over all the plants in the house, my mini tomatoes had shit loads of them on its leaves.
In the Garbage that plant went. All other plants got super soaking with cold water… I can soak the plants daily in the cage, cause the humidity will never go up enough. The Cannabis is what I’m worried about. Also released Steinernema Feltiae “Preadator mites” in the worm bin as well.
Shit dude, that’s insanely close for how long they’ve been in flower. Looks like you’ve got a 7 weeker on your hands! I love how dense and chunky they look!
They are chunky for sure, all medium density buds and they stak up like how cauliflower grows. Buds, staking ontop of other buds like a mound ,) I’m really happy with how these are turning out 100%. No I’m dying for the finish line.
I bet when these are drying/cureing the buds will tighten up together
