I was also going to suggest looking at the underside of your leaves, you’ll find the pests underneath before you see them in the open

The bugs are crafty. Use a magnifying glass and get prepared to be feeling uneasy

I had some of the same stuff show up. I used Dawn dishwashing soap at 1 teaspoon per leter of water. I spray every couple of days. You want to hit them heavy and your plants may look a little overwatered for a few minutes but kills most of what's eating your plants. It also washes of easy so your plants won't taste like soap.

I knew that shit wasn’t mold, our humidity is a joke. 5% right now
Good stuff man thanks

If i'm right you'll have a new crop of bugs every day for three or 4 days for a couple of weeks butless each time. I sprayed every day for about a week, then every couple days after that. I alternate the soapy water with BT. Got to feed the fuzzy worms, too.

If you do that, I assume it doesn’t alter the flavor of the buds? Also, what would you think about adding superthrive to help it along? It’s also getting FF Grow Big nutes every other day

I just saw your above post about how it washes off easy (so it doesn’t alter the taste). Still curious about the superthrive though?

Looks good. I'll add a little neem oil to mine. What I'm doing is'nt looking as good as yours. This is why I like to chase down problems. Getting an answer to your problem answerd mine too.
I see you have plants in pots. How are they doing in this heat? The ones I have in pots need watering more the you would think. Usually water 3 times a day in this heat. I like Roots Organic soil for a base but it's got way too good of drainage for outside in the heat. The water just runs thru. With all the Super Soil notes that must have washed out into the soil I think I'll put a plant in the ground there next year.

Mine look like mold, too, but it's DE on the leafs. Just a little water or dew and there's white patches on the leafs. It's just dust and wants to wash off.

It’s a good question being black pots are pretty controversial. The trick to getting them to survive in this heat, drilling SMALL holes in the pots to aerate the roots and let them breathe (no, water won’t seep out). Every morning i put them in a water bath, just by watering the ground they’re sitting on for a good 5 minutes or so. This also helps counteract the crap humidity we have. Spray with pH balanced water once or twice a day depending on the temp and you’re good to go. Sounds like a lot, but it really isn’t.
