It’s mites, if you already have them this soon then there must be a source in, or around your house. You are best off using a bug bomb since the plants are not budding yet. If you try to just treat the plants they will keep coming back. You need to fumigate the whole grow soil and all.
I thought I saw a worm thing there but the pic was,nt that clear. Its just a caterpillar. Just toss it back outside and keep an eye out for more. The black spot are what everyone is looking at. They look like what dead spider mites look like. If there is webbing than its mites. Spray with 1-2 tablespoons of regular dish liquid (Dawn) per 1 gallon of water. 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil is optional in the same mix. I used olive oil last time and it worked like a charm.
Im just gonna go with the caterpillar lol cause a caterpilar can consume entire colas within days..with that said, it has to shit alot. And from what Ive seen, caterpillars do make small webs. If im right, he should just get a praying mantis before doing anything hasty as it’ll prevent future caterpillars.
Those dont appear to be common spider mites..I doubt it. Just buy maybe 50-100 live ladybugs and divide them amongst each of your plants. Also, lightly rub down your entire grow area and any other area you can with Insecticidal soap..dont get some near the ladybugs as im not sure if it kills them. Keep a few ladybugs on all your plants from now on to be safe..a single ladybug can eat thousands of prey during its life time. Good luck:) keep me updated.
Yeah it wouldn’t focus in video mode either hence the slideshow. Thanks for the comments guys ill try it out asap. I thought maybe the black specks were the cataplilars shit and it was making a cacoon.

Ok so this ended up being one caterpillar. Once it was gone there were no more pest issues. Thanks for all the comments guys

yea they’re also microscopic which is why I doubt they’re mites…I think your grow will survive:)
So what about that worm thing? Mites? I would think mites would move around am i wrong?
Light Soapy water in a spray bottle spray lightly once a day

Make sure to do it in a cool place and put a light fan on them so they don,t burn. Do this every other day till they are gone. If it,s ,mites.
It looks like spider mites. Is it moving or fungal in nature?
check at a local hydroponics or pet store first cause you need the ladybugs asap
