do you know what this pest is??????

i reecently noticed small white wormlike creatures on my leaves and stems. i would try to take a pic but these things are TINY!!! ive done some research and still cant seem to find what these little things are. they are not spider mites or aphids or anything like that. never seen this before. not too much damage except for some mite-like white spots on leaves. any help is appreciated.

Do your critters look like either of these?

Thrips?
This link shows damage to leaves done by thrips/thrip larvae, does you plants damage look like this?

If its these then they are thrip larvae.

I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, that would be like a white worm on your leaves and stems. Unless it was caterpillars, but you say they are tiny, so that makes me think a larvae of some kind.
A picture of any kind would help...


Lol, nice to see bricktop on this topic too.

i had a tiny little white worm or 2 on my last grow and they turnt out to be lacewings coz as soon as the white worms disappeared the lacewings appeared

this is a lacewing larvae shedding its skin does it look like this?

maybe thrips.. but regardless.. try Azamax/Azatrol same product different name... just follow directions it is a safe and effective way to control most pests.. takes a few applications but totally worth the time. Good Luck Peace

Thanks guys! after reviewing the pics i think they're thrip larvae. Azamax it is!

This is a thrip larva, it was the second of the two pictures I posted asking if what you had looked like either of the two critters in the pictures.

This is what thrip damage looks like.
