Hello everybody, so I woke up this morning to find three little black dots on the leaves of my mom. Shes isolated, i've been using all organic nutes and from the looks of the plant shes completely healthy =/ the spots are shiny, oily and wipe right off. But they litterally have the same consistency as resign. Aside from the leaves curling up a little I cant firgure out whats wrong based on symtoms. I've considered heat and nute burn and just finished moving the light up another few inches and the air purifier back abit to reduce direct contact so I dont dry the leaves out. Im also going to mix up some insecticide I have and give her a little spray down although if they are mites. Ive never seen them before in my entire life. Im assuming their droppings but if not im trying to take all precautions neccasary anyways otherwise. I'd really appreciate some feedback. Im aware of things like neem oil but I have no way of getting to it, please dont tell me to use soap as I wont. Ever. As great and easy and widely used and practised as it is, im an organic nut. And no, I dont have any organic soap or access to it =P

The feedback i'm hoping to receive is what this may be and how to prevent is from re occuring again. I'm really lost guys. It hasn't spread today at all or developed on any new leaves, I did give her the mite juice yesterday. 0.5/1 gal I soaked the whole plant well and the stalk/ surface soil and probably at least an inch down. I also sprayed down the area its growing in as it is a box so its enviroment is completely self contained and controlled.

Sounds like you just burned them. Be careful when feeding youn plaants. Mist or potting soil left on plants from watering will cause oily black spots. It's all good. Your lil ones will be fine...

Check the undersides of your leaves for bugs. Might be spider mites or others that are crapping on your ladies. Use as powerful a magnifying glass you can find to check.
Damn near any vegetable safe bug spray is usually fine. Some prefer neem oil though.

I've actually been having a bit of a fly problem now that you mention it. Not those big suckers just the little tiny ones. I've noticed they thrive in the topsoil when its dried out enough to gain entry and moist/warm enough to reproduce. But she's grown since so the light is much higher. Soil doesn't dry out so fast and the humidity dropped to 70. Thank you guys for all your feedback I'd never thought to use my magnifying glass I will keep that handy in her domain for future reference.
