HELP EMERGENCY: Possible Infestation

[twilightattwelve]

Hey guys I'm looking for any guidance on this one.
These odd white specs started appearing on a batch of AK thats been brewing a couple of weeks.

Let me give you the facts.
1. This is the first time they have appeared out of many crops
2. Their has been some evidence of leaf destruction by some type of pest.
Holes in leaves appears small and are few and far between
3. The white specs look almost like drywall dust and easily wipe off the leaves.
4. They are most prevelant on plant under direct light
5. It could just be dust but I have my doubts
6. This crop is into it's third week of flowering
7. Dust (eggs) appear only on the top of leaves and not the bottom


... please help

1. What is this?
2. How do I correct the problem?

If its bugs, break out the Johnsons & Johnsons Baby shampoo and water and mist the shit outta them. that will kill any bugs.

But before you go doing that, why not post a pic?

That would be helpful.

My bad, this is leaf off one of the bio plants

[HARDDON]

I am just not familiar enuff with outside grow to offer anymore advice than I have already.

I see no holes in the leaf...

Near the leaf tip ends, it looks like maybe over ferts...doesnt look that bad anyways.

Use the baby shampoo to see if it is bugs...and see if it goes away.

Sorry I cant be of anymore help, but, if it is bugs, the baby shampoo will sove it.

Safer Yard & Garden Insecticide
Safer Garden Fungicide
Hot Pepper Wax spray

Any one will work and not harm the plant or affect the smoke.

sounds like mites. use the advice above to rid them from your crop. i would only buy products that can be used on fruits and veggies though.

[twilightattwelve]

Thanks for the great insight fellas. My thoughts are that I don't think thier mites because I don't see any webbing betweent the plants, I will however take care of things tomorrow. Thanks again.

It could be fungle gnats. If it is then nothing I posted will help. Fungle gnats live in soil and GNATROL is what you need if you can find it.

Would this remove fungal gnats?

Remove top inch and one half of topsoil.

Spray with soap water.

Blow Dry top one inch til completely dry.

Replace top one and one half inch with pure clean sand.

Last night i looking at whore and I saw a leaf with light shining thru it.

I said, that looks fucking like what japanese beatles did to my grape leaves before I killed them off.

So I took the leaf in question, pinched it off and sure enuff, there are fricking web looking holes it in.

I look closer and there is this fricking white lave little itsy bitsy tiny fucking white thing moving like an inch worm when I touched him.

So now I realize if I can see one, there must be more.

So i look her over and find nothing else anywhere.

But, since I am leaving to mexico in 2 days, i wont be able to keep constant inspections going on.

So i went to the Home Depot today and bout some fatty acid soap designed for flowers.

I hope this works.
