Mystery Bug

Hi, i'm new here xD

This is my 1st grow and its going pretty well as you can see. They've been flowering for roughly a week now and except for a nitrogen deficiency incident, everything seems to be going smoothly.

Ive attached a picture of the only thing that is still bothering me. A little 6 legged beetle/bug thingy that is always on my plants (never more then 3 of them). It has a traingular shaped head as you can see in the picture (facing away from the camera) and it jumps like a giant tick when you go near it. It sits at the base of the leaf or stem seemingly waiting for something. This leads me to believe that its waiting for live prey, or laying eggs at the base of the leaf/stem. Does anyone recognise it?

Btw, the strain is amnesia lemon

not sure what the bug is but nice plants they look nice and healthy

it looks like an aphid

I think its way too big to be an aphid...I think its a "spittle bug"

Anyone had problems with them before?

Whats the best pesticide to use for them?

The bug is a leafhopper. They also come in a very bright green. I have never seen any real damage from them but you can spray a SAFER product on them.

Ditto on the leafhopper. They DO suck plant juices but aren't a destructive as aphids. Neem would most likely take care of them...

Also, my vote for leafhopper, too big for aphids. Get rid of these, they chew holes in the leaves and can defoliate the leaves in high enough numbers. Neem or insecticidal soap.

Thanks guys. Sorry for the long reply, havent checked this in a while.
I havent actually seen a leafhopper all week because ive been killing them by hand.
There are still annoying bits of damage so ill stick on some neem, cheers
Has anyone ever used biobizz leafcoat before?? It seems really good, the leahoppers are the only bugs that seem immune to it!
