WTF is that ?

wtf is this thing? i found it in a cuffed leaf that had a little slime on it
Also i have bad case of aphids and ants and on another plant starting to see this on a few leaves is this because of the bugs??

One thing is for sure you need to treat your plants to rid them of bugs.

Ants are aphid farmers, they use the sugary excretions from the aphids.

First port of call is spray your plants with something that's going to kill almost everything.

A SPINOSAD product is a good choice.

Second port of call is take care of the ants nest so they don't farm any more near your plants.

if you can get them, ladybugs love aphids. neem oil works too, but you usually have to apply more than once....

Any other advice on the ants? they dont seem to be eating the leaves, and we dont have aphids but the ants are ull up in the plants, all the time

lol, sorry dude! i didn't look real close, i thought the spots were aphids. turn the leaf over and look real close, it may be thrips...

catapiller larvae.....You have a CAPATILLER

Thanks for your feedback I have been using diatomaceous earth on the top soil for the ants and I recently got some Green Earth Insecticidal soap for the aphids and all other insects hopefully it works

sall good and hopefully not I did turn over and check and didnt see anything but that doesn't confirm anything

thrips are really, really small, and hard to see....

gotta get rid of the worms

Yeah those guys will get you bud rot.

Monterey with spinosad would probably help clearing the pests since it works so well on a lot of different varieities. It worked wonders in my outdoor garden, made the pests disappear for 4 to 6 weeks at a time. Had no noticeable negative effect on the cured product also. If I had to use it during flowering (bad infestation), I wouldn't use it within 2 to 3 weeks before harvesting and light sprays at that. It seems to break down fairly fast.

the slime is from slugs dig a small hole set a bowl in it so the slugs can crawl in the bowl put some beer in the bowl they will be drawn to it get drunk fall in and die. you cant see them because they come out at night.
