White spots.

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

Hey im farely new at growin and i have no clue if this is good or bad. But there are tiny white spots on my plants fan leaves. it looks like a male but im not sure. its only 3-4 weeks old and its much smaller than my other and it seems to be sprouting seed-like patches as it grows taller.

if anyone has any imput on the spots andor if this plant is a male thats maybe showing signs of gender early. thanks for reading and or replying

Does it kinda look like someone was spray painting near the plant and some wind blew the paint onto the plant and flecked the leaves? If so id say check the underside of the leaves as white spots are usually a sign of the dreaded spider mite. Look for little black flecks that kinda look like stray dirt, and small white eggs.

oh also forgot, to tell you about sexing..for one pictures help so so so much with this kinda thing. But basically what you're lookin' for is
either a little bulb with two white hairs poking out of it (female) or little balls on stalks for males.

yes thats exaxtly what they look like. and i would have pics but i cant seem to get my hands on a digi. now shit, how ya get rid of the spidey mites? ill hopefullyhave some pics in the next month or so. but the spiders are my number 1 prob at the moment.

thanks for the replies, very much appreciated

well one thing you can do to slow them down is gently vacuum them off the plant (i did it when i first ran into the little buggers on my plant and it did a fantastic job of slowing them down) you can also raise the temps a bit in your grow area, higher temps slow them down.

As for exterminating them, the only thing i have experience with at the moment is a Bayer Crop science spray made to kill a variety of garden pests, and its slowing them down but it sure as hell isnt killing them all because i keep finding new leafs with spots ect ect. Most of the time i see people recommend neem oil, its organic and its supposed to work on them like evil juju (slow but powerful juju), ive personally ordered some because i wanna get these mites under control before i send my girl into flowering. I'll be sure to share my results with you if your still havin problems.

well thanks. i just used my finger and went down the leaf to kill em. hopefuly raising the temps and getting some oil is be worth a shot. yea ill be around, get the lil shitz
