Third Week Flowering Found some Webbing

Growing 2 Bluedream and 2 Blackjack and they are now in third week flowering - growing well. This week I found a few strands of webbing running across some leaves. Very hard to see - unless you really examine under some LED Cobs rotating plant in lights.

My tent is in my basement - and a small spider could have crawled in somehow and made a few cobwebs.

under a microscope I can see these cloudy round spheres on the underside of leafs. I thought they were part of the plant as they are pretty much positioned uniformly - not clustered at all.

Never found any mites or damage from mites - I even shook plant limbs over WHITE Paper - nothing.

Last thing - there are beneficial mites - see image they are eggs on TOP - Spider mite and BOTTOM P. persimilis - a notorious killer of Spider mites. So from eggs it is hard to tell.

When I first spotted the web on one plant - I sprayed some SM-90 that day

I know it is a critical time in flowing - should I
a) just spray them with Green Cleaner mite control
b) Leave em be and monitor
c) wait till you spot a mite and identify it - could be a good guy
d) unleash a few ladybugs

You would think if those are eggs I would see a mite orgy or at least one mite

you got mite webs all over

did you plant from seed or clone?

like I said a few strands of web - 3-5 strands - not all over - from seed- never found a mite

any dots seen under leaf. is no good. . some one used that 86 from norcal. use up to day of harvest. but get rid of those leaves and give them the business or its a rap. and those fuckers could come from pet or clothes. or other plants in house.

that black dot is its poop. so its eating.

that picture is from the intraweb and not my plants

ok well you should look . and they are very small hide in the cuts.. you will see lil bite marks on top of leaf .

none of those marks are present. I have been looking under microscope for them. I know how tough they are to see. I must say that Green Cleaner company screws us with Soybean oil and Alcohol for 20 bucks for 2oz...gimme a break.

I think I will flush em (time for the flush) and spray in that overpriced soycohol - just to be safe

Just a wayward spider got in the room somehow.

I would treat for mites asap. Azamax is great. Don't wait til its too late.

Don't spray your plants with anything... You're 3 weeks in. If it's just a harmless spider then he will cause no harm. Idk where you live though. We don't have any spiders and shit that will fucking kill you where i live lol

I was trained to "identify the Enemy" never indiscriminately blast them with my weapons, until identified....it was a simple small spider - no more webs this AM...

plus these plants are 10 plus week flower - got a long way to go

hmm
idk
could be nothing, maybe one spider
if I found those white eggs on my plants id be hitting them with something as a precaution

I don't see any harm in azamax this early on, better safe than sorry

if it is mites(not saying it is) the azamax will only slow them down

Azamax is some heavy shit. I'd be cautious when spraying that shit everywhere. That's more of a precautionary thing to use before you even have plants in your room. Shits nearly toxic to breath. Spray your room and walls with that not your plants. Just my .02 Not trying to start any arguments,

no argument from me

its all in what your priorities are

as early in bloom as he his I wouldn't be over concerned with its use and I personally would be more worried about pests

but if you've got auto immune issues it might be a greater concern to you than to me

I agree, To each their own method on fighting problems. I too would be worried with pests though lol. I hate anything with more than 2 eyes lol

So keep in mind, I have zero plant problems. I saw a few webs. Turns out a harmless spider. I see tons of round cloudy spheres under a microscope...if they were eggs would I not see at least a few pests?

I believe the spheres although they resemble eggs are nothing more than sessile glands.

Will be monitoring daily. Although green cleaner can be used up till day of harvest, I know that the alcohol would evaporate many of the trichomes.

FYI...not all things are eggs...

Capitate-Sessile: The second type of gland is larger (25 to 100 micrometers) and more numerous than the bulbous glands. They are called capitate, which means having a globular-shaped head. On immature plants, the heads lie flush, appearing not to have a stalk and are called capitate sessile.

Are these sessile or mite eggs? Not seen a mite yet
