Hello.
I recently got a USB microscope to look at ripening trichomes.
Today, i noticed what looked like white dots, and threw the leaf under the scope. This is what I saw.
Can you please help identify these microscopic monsters?

I'd remove anything with those nasty bugs on it and toss it. Either that or spray the plants down real good with water to wash them off depending on how far along they are in flower. You can see the crap those things are leaving behind. You don't want to smoke that stuff.

I found some of those on one plant in my tent a couple months ago. I traced them to some Geraniums my girlfriend was overwintering in the garage by my tent. They were isolated to one branch and they were disgusting. I cut the branch off and ran it down the garbage disposal. I got lucky and caught them in time. Those Geraniums went outside immediately.

Good luck getting rid of those disgusting bugs.

Thanks ...
we're in day 58, almost done, I cut all the leaves with anything on it. They were concentrated on one plant. Don't seem to go near flowers or leaves with lots of trichomes near the stem.
Just need to be more diligent and careful with transplanting into soil that was composting/cooking outside.
