So I was just lookin over my buds with a magnifying glass to see the trichomes when i noticed a tiny little black bug crawling up the stem... Started looking more closely and noticed 3 more B4 i started this post... what do i do? I'm only about 2 weeks away from harvest and dont wanna lose my girl... hoping to find a natural way that dont involve pesticides. any advice would be greatly appreciated. And also about a month and a half ago i had a light mishap. put a light a little too close and didnt monitor it and as a result the stem burned really bad. I decided to give it time before chopping it off and it produced some great buds so i said fuck it and let it be. so now im noticing its splitting apart and leaking clear liquid. is it gonna be ok? will the bud be any less potent? Thanks again in advance for any advice you can throw a first time grower.DSCI0179.jpgDSCI0182.jpgDSCI0184.jpgDSCI0186.jpgDSCI0199.jpg

Did you start with clones? People pass mites around with clones.Picture # two left hand side at the bottom you see white dots on the leaf? I think that could be spider mite damage. you can't get rid of them now wait until harvest and clean the room with bleach put some hot shot no pest strips in the room and start over make sure you throw out all the dirt pick up all the leafs. It looks like you have more than two weeks left btw

If you only have couple plants you might be able to get rid of them unnamed.jpghang this rite next to it this way you don't have to spray. If you didn't have buds you might be able to use a hot pepper spray but you don't want to smoke that shit. spidermites are the devil very hard to get rid of. it takes multiple treatments every three days they become immune to everything. so you have to use something different every time.Look on the under sides of the leafs for real small black dots see if they move it might take a minute.

if u wait until its dark and shine a light from underneath the plant , you should see black dots where the bugs are, not much u can do now, but it'd give u an idea of what to expect come smoking time

naw nothing tied or dirty knives just the light was too close...were the buds from the burnt stem any less potent?
