Hello all. I have a problem. I've been doing this for a long time. I've had just about any bug or issue you can have. Well I was in my room the other day and noticed what look like spider mites on a plant. Just on the buds. Maybe 1 or 2 crawling on stems and leafs but primarily buds. I cant find one bug under any leafs or anywhere but the sugar leads. Could these be somthing beyond spider mites? They are whitish in color and the size of a small mite.

In the past any mites I had were covered all over leafs and everywhere and I saw mite damage. That's why these are so odd to me. No web. Not one damn bug under a leaf. Any help is greatly appreciated

What kinda soil do you have? They are commonly found in some potting mixes and they are good to have around.

I sometimes find one or two stray hypoaspis crawling on a plant, they always find their way back to the soil though

I dont see any damage but those little blobs do look like some kind of mite/larvae, then again it's blurry and could be mushed up amber trichomes.. Grab a white piece of paper and knock a few off onto the paper & take a pic of them.

Try to get a picture with them in the field of focus. Probably have to back off like a quarter inch from where you were, then zoom in on the image and crop the bug in focus.

Doesn't look like they are causing damage so I still think beneficial bug of some sort.

As @danielbae mentioned, you are in flower, time to eas way up on the nitrogen and replace it with more potassium and a little phosphorous.

Looks like it might be white fly. During the day they look like random pieces of white lint. But after the dark period they are plentiful.

I live in the Pacific NW...and this season I have battled spider mites, bud rot, tons of aphids, powdery mildew, fruit flies, white flies, and I am seeing spider mites again this am. This auto was brought in from outside to avoid freezing temps. It just WILL NOT go from clear to milky trichs!!

Sometimes a good spanking helps.
