What is this?

Guess who got a microscope for Christmas.

I seem to have acquired some little white bugs. I'm not sure the first bug is the same as the second picture. The bug in the first picture is alive and wiggling. The second picture is dead or possibly discarded skins.

Thanks...

uh oh you got spider mites you better get some neem oil or some thing quick or your crop is toast!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no! Not spider mites!

I thought spider mites were red not white?

it could be an aphid

i,m color blind

do you see any small webs when you spray water on the plants brances or onder the leaves

do you see any white spotts on the leaves

There are no webs, and the leaves look healthy.

I'm at day 49 flowering, do I want to spray insecticides this close to harvest?

Here is what my trichomes look like...

looks good,

do the bugs,cluster any where up high,or are they just spread out

thats your problem,,, you have all those trichs covering your leaves,,,,, here is what you need to do,,, you need to clean off all those trich off your leaves, theyll never survive with all that smothing the leaves,,, so when you get all those trichs off of all the leaves then send them to me so I can study them further, I will test and test and test if needed,, working night and day if need be.........lololol

Hi, here's another picture. The one in the circle has big pincher things sticking out of his head. Some of them are clustered and some of them are loners. They seem to be preferring the fan leaves over the buds.

Thank you for helping me.

Oops... here's the picture.

you got spider mites,,, Ive been workin with them for years,,, very hard to get rid of ALL of them....... GOOD LUCK........

sorry,you need to clean all your walls,or they will come back,i dont get them here in the desert,so im lucky

Spider mites! Oh no! That's terrible!

I have lots of spider mites and I live in the mojave desert..........

not sure by ur pics but this pic shows an aphid up top and 2 spotted spidermites, just me but those dont look like any spidermites ive ever had ive seen the spotted and red ones but i dont know what u have maybe its whats in this pic...

Hi! Thanks for the picture! I think I have aphids. I sprayed them with ivory soap and tea tree oil. I'll try to get some of that Neem today.

They were really creepy to watch on the computer screen. They walked around and wiggled their feelers. They were so creepy! I watched them for like an hour.

Here is the microscope I have: http://www.amazon.com/Carson-MM-640-ePIX-Digital-Microscope/dp/B000RNL2IO/

That's a very good microscope, and cheap. It is perfect for this, and you can take AVI movies too so you can creep yourself out over and over.

spider mites have 8 legs. aphids 6

Cool! I'm seeing 6 legs! Thank you!!

BTW, the tea tree oil seems to have worked. I can't find anything alive this morning.

may have to drop a bomb on that grow room-watch for progression-if you see it than bomb. spray the plants and soil again and containers and remove from room-

Okay, I will. Thank you!

well se how bad it is first before u drop the bomb. kind of a last measure u dont want to take if u dont have to and will take at least a week to order over the net-cant use ordinary bomb
