Sorry for the total noob question! This is my first attempt at growing weed.
The plant spends most of its life on a windowsill that gets a lot of the morning & mid afternoon sun.
I take it around the back, onto a balcony, in the evening for another 2-3 hour dose of sun, outdoors this time.
These white specs are appearing more & more, in clusters, on the front & back of the lower leaves.
I've done a bit of research on common mildew, spider mites & whitefly but I'm still not sure what I'm dealing with.
For a start, I don't see any movement, except for one longer, red coloured maggoty looking thing. Also, when I shake the plant & don't see anything flying away.
It seems to be dusty when I rub it of with my fingers & this evening I actually wiped as much off as I could with a wet cloth.
So, what do I have & (more importantly) how do I treat it? Some kind of solution in a mister perhaps, or something in the soil?
Thanks for your help, in advance.
Peace.
